Wayne Lum

January 17, 1941 - December 18, 2022

We regretfully announce the passing of Wayne Lum, 81, of Saanich, Vancouver Island. Wayne passed away peacefully in his home on December 18th, 2022. Wayne was born to Violet (Ngai) and Lawrence Lum on Jan 17, 1941 in the East end of Vancouver. A vibrant personality from the beginning, Wayne was an excellent friend to many. Wayne had a love for traveling and adventure, and these were fostered at an early age. As a young teenager Wayne worked on a fishing boat off the coast of Vancouver, through various misadventures Wayne also found himself working with friends at various nightclubs around Vancouver. It was there at "The King of Clubs" where Wayne worked, that he first met his wife Lasha. Wayne & Lasha spent their free time traveling around the world, however, Hawaii was their favorite destination. Both enjoyed the beaches, the golf and their time together in this surreal setting. When not traveling to exotic locations, Wayne excelled by making personal connections in all the different business endeavors he pursued. In 1996, Wayne retired after 20 years in the real estate industry. During his retirement Wayne enjoyed golfing, going for morning coffee with his friends, and enjoying his pipe on the back deck while he admired Lasha's garden. Although Wayne did not have any of his own kids, he was admired by all of his nieces and nephews and always had a tender spot for the various dogs that were in his life. Wayne is survived by his wife, Lasha, and younger brother Darryl, along with countless nieces and nephews. Wayne predeceased by his mother, Violet, and father, Lawrence along with various other close relatives. A celebration of Wayne's life will be announced at a later time for the late spring of 2023. If you'd like to honor his legacy, please make a donation to the Victoria Humane Society in Wayne's name.
