CLEVERSEY, Wayne Born December 19, 1938, of Weymouth, passed away peacefully, on Monday, April 28, 2025, at age 86, in Plymouth, MA. Wayne was born in Winthrop Hospital and raised in Revere and Lynn.

Over 30 years of his naval engineering career were spent at General Dynamics with another ten at Bird Johnson (Rolls Royce). Wayne was a committed Christian who loved the Lord and was an active member of First Baptist Church of Weymouth for many years. Wayne's loving heart, gentle demeanor and desire to make people smile blessed all he encountered to the very end.

Wes Graves

September 19, 2025

My name is Wes Graves who was a neighborhood friend of Wayne when we were teenagers in Lynn back in the 1950´s. After reading all these memories it is no surprise that Wayne grew up to be the man that he was. We played so many baseball games at the park as well as in front of his house on 12 Moon Road, Lynn. His popularity with the kids we grew up with was like none other. Even as young kids he would always make sure that we played the game correctly. I always remembered his birthday of 12-19-38 as he was three years older than me....... And Drenna 11-10-39...... For some unknown reason I decided to look online tonight to check on a few friends from long ago and found this out. My sympathies go out to, Drenna, and all your families, even after almost five months since Wayne´s passing. I lost track of Wayne after high school and have not been in touch. It was so very easy to distinguish home from these pictures even after almost 70 years. One last note is that this may never be read, where it has been a few months. Again, my condolences to Drenna and the family. Wes Graves...... [email protected].
