Wayne F. Demydowich, 54, of Rochester, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, July 22, 2017, at Mayo Clinic, Saint Marys campus.

Wayne was born May 31, 1963, in Winnipeg, Canada, to Frank and Lucille (Champagne) Demydowich. He grew up in Minneapolis and then went on to serve his country in the U.S. Navy, stationed in California. While he was stationed in California, Wayne met Peggy Smith. Wayne and Peggy were united in marriage on Oct. 16, 1986, in Minneapolis. Wayne worked as a computer analyst for Image Stream Medical.

He enjoyed running marathons, riding his bike and motorcycle, flying in his plane and going fishing with his grandson and son-in-law. Wayne loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.

Wayne was a generous man and ultimately gave the greatest gift by being an organ donor.

Wayne is survived by his loving wife, Peggy; daughters, Amanda (Kevin) Podein of Rochester, and Samantha Demydowich of Preston; grandchildren, Haley Podein, Christopher Demydowich, Nevaeh, Allysa and Makayla Tjepkes; father, Frank Demydowich; brother, Peter (Christal) Demydowich; sister, Monica Demydowich; and a host of other family and friends. Wayne was preceded in death by his mother, Lucille; and by his in-laws, Ruth and Gerald Whitford.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Wayne and I can say that he was one of my favorite people at ISM. He was always kind and had a sense of humor that I enjoyed immensely. We spoke on a weekly basis and I counted him as a friend. To say he will be missed is a terrible understatement.
