Robert Wayne Wever, 82, of Lancaster, formerly of Holtwood, PA, and Princeton, NJ, went home to his Savior, Jesus Christ, on Saturday, June 14, 2025, following a long decline. He was the loving husband of the late Carol L. (Heffie) Wever, with whom he shared 53 years of marriage at the time of her passing in 2019.
Born in Miami, FL, he was the son of the late Robert and Doris (Miller) Wever.
An only child, Wayne became involved in athletics, music, and church activities. In high school he excelled academically, in track and field, and as a football quarterback. He went on to earn a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Princeton University in 1965 and a Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1969. Wayne served as Director of the Princeton Christian Fellowship (formerly Princeton Evangelical Fellowship) in New Jersey for 27 years, and, after moving to Lancaster County, served as Director of Men's Ministry for Water Street Mission, retiring in 2006. He served as an Elder at Westerly Road Church (now Stone Hill Church) in Princeton and at Providence Church in New Providence, PA.
He is survived by his daughters, Linda Kerr, of Willow Street, and Sarah Waterman, and her husband Roger, of Seattle, WA, and his grandchildren, Josiah Kerr, Carson Waterman, and Kailee Waterman. In addition to his wife and his parents, he was preceded in death by a son, Steven Wever, and a son-in-law, Ken Kerr.
A Celebration of Wayne's life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on June 27 at Providence Church, 269 Cinder Road, New Providence, PA 17560, followed by a reception.
