Wayne Bergevin Obituary
March 27, 1933 - September 15, 2025
Wayne W. Bergevin, 92, of Chippewa Falls, town of LaFayette, died September 15, 2025 at the Cornell Care Center.
Wayne was born March 27, 1933 in Stanley, WI to Elton and Gladys (Brown) Bergevin. He was the 2nd oldest of their six children.
On September 19, 1955, Wayne married Karol Bjerke. Out of this union came a beautiful daughter, Kandi and a wonderful son, Rocky. They later divorced and Wayne married, Lorraine (Prueher) Meyers on July 14, 1973.
In 1953, Wayne and a friend headed to the Leinenkugel Brewery because they heard there was free beer…he ended up working at Leinenkugel's for the next 43 years! His favorite job at the brewery was driving their big, red semi-truck. Wayne was an outdoor kinda guy. He liked fishing on Lake Holcombe, hunting up North and cutting firewood…lots of it! Wayne and Lorraine enjoyed traveling and camping. After he retired, they spent their winters in Florida.
Wayne is survived by his daughter, Kandi (Mike) Bresina; daughter-in-law, Cathy Bergevin; stepdaughter, Diane (Rick) Hedrington; grandchildren: Cody, Nate, Cory & Sissy; step-grandchildren, Tracy & Nic; great-grandchildren: Sydney, Kaleb, Kate, Isaac & Tyler; brother, Dick (Colleen) Bergevin: sister, Nancy (Max) Schultze.
Wayne was preceded in death by his wife, Lorraine; son, Rocky; his parents, Elton & Gladys; his sisters: Dolly Eppers, Doris Neutz & Judy Bergevin; and grandchildren, Zachary & Amanda Bresina.
Special thank you to Cornell Care Center, especially Kylynn & Kelly, for taking such good care of Wayne.
A Celebration of Life will be held at The Leinenkugel Lodge (patio area) on September 29th from 2:00-5:00 PM. Please join us and wear your Leinenkugel apparel.
