Wayne Alder Dudley

MEREDITH --- Wayne Alder Dudley, 54, of Meredith, passed away on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at home.

Wayne was born on March 5, 1971, in Boston, MA, the son of the late Alder Dudley and Charlotte Knowlton.

Wayne loved riding his motorcycle. Wayne's time on earth was a life well lived. He enjoyed long hikes, walks and drives. He loved visiting scenic attractions. He was a well-known car salesman for many years. Wayne was quiet the story teller as anyone who has talked to him would know… although if you were close to him, I'm sure you may have heard the same story about a million times but let him tell it anyway just because it brought joy to his life. He will always be remembered but never forgotten.

Wayne is survived by his wife Janise Dudley; daughter Mia Hanson (Nick Combs), of Littleton, NH; sisters Denise Sander (Alan), of Litchfield, NH, and Paula Mueller Dudley (Dan Mueller), of Bedford, NH; granddaughter Avaleigh Combs; and a niece and a nephew. He also leaves behind his beloved dogs Molly and Bo.

There will be no calling hours.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a late date for close family and friends.
