Wayne HAMM Obituary
Our beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, Wayne Hamm passed away with his family by his side on November 25, 2017.
Wayne will be lovingly remembered by his son, Jared (Brianna) Hamm; daughter, Jodi (Kirby) Millar; grandchildren: Finnley, Berkley, Kinsley, and Tagen; sister, Cheryl (Bert) Desjardins; sister-in-law, Sandra (Brian) Kennedy; as well as numerous other relatives and close friends.
He was recently predeceased by his loving wife, Judy Hamm, his mother Nalda Wheeler, and his stepfather, Bruce Wheeler.
Many knew Wayne as a 25 year veteran of the Edmonton Police Service, as a man with honest whit, and a sense of humor that would often command a room. He was an avid motorcyclist, completing multiple cross-country motorcycle trips including a memorial ride to spread the ashes of the love of his life. For those closest to Wayne he will be remembered foremost as a loving husband, father, friend and as the world's greatest papa.
We extend a special thank you to Wayne's closest friends Bill Horne and Barry Kaye for all they have done for him and his family during these difficult times.
A special thank you to Dr. John Clarke and staff for those special gestures almost unheard of in our busy, modern times.
A Celebration of Life for family and friends will be held from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m., Saturday, December 2, 2017 at The St. Albert Minor Baseball Association Clubhouse at 215 Sturgeon Road, St. Albert, Alberta.
In lieu of flowers, Memorial Donations can be made in honor of Wayne to the Cross Cancer Institute, 11560 University Ave., Edmonton, AB T6G 1Z2.

Jared and Jodi,
So sorry to hear of the loss of your father, so soon after the loss of your mother Judy. They were both such good neighbours. I remember them fondly, as do my sons Ben and Mitch.

When I was young, our family would travel from Ontario to PEI for summer vacation and we always would stop for a day to visit your father and your Aunt Cheryl. When we moved to PEI I ran into your parents through mutual friends and we had a few great visits and laughs. Please know our thoughts and our prayers are with you all at this sad time.

Jared and Jodi, I am deeply saddened by this news. As you know, Wayne and I were partners in D Div (Downtown). Your Dad was an outstanding Police Officer. I will forever remember his sense of humour and strong integrity. He was one of the best and most dependable partners I ever had the honor and priviledge of working with. I remember your mother as well and the good times our families shared. I shall forever miss them both. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. With much love, respect and admiration; Paul, Donna, Darren and Andrew.
