With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Wayne Caputo, who went home on March 15, 2026, to be reunited with his devoted wife of 46 years, whom he deeply missed.
Wayne was a loving father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He leaves behind his beloved children, Anthony Caputo and Tiffany Fee (Aarron), and his cherished grandchildren, Cami, Jonny, and Dominic, who brought him endless pride and joy.
He is also survived by his siblings, Kathy Vergith (Carl), David Caputo (Nancy), and Michael Caputo (Cindy), along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews who will all hold his memory close to their hearts.
Wayne will be remembered for his love of fishing and the simple happiness it brought him. He could often be found by the water, fishing pole in hand, enjoying the peace of the moment with a beer by his side. Those who knew him will forever remember his quiet strength, his love for his family, and the comfort of his presence.
In honoring Wayne’s wishes, there will be no formal services.
He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
