Publish in a newspaper
Wayne A. Ford, 67, of Arcade, NY, passed away on October 4, 2025, in Zephyrhills, FL, surrounded by his loving family after a short battle with cancer.
Wayne was a devoted father and the most amazing Papa to his grandbabies. He was a loyal, selfless friend to all who were blessed to know him. His kindness, humor, and steady presence will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
He had a lifelong love for fishing and cars, finding joy in both-whether casting a line on the water or spending time under the hood.
He is survived by his children Jason (Sabrina) Ford of Angola, NY; Corey (Nicole) Ford of Zephyrhills, FL; and Katrina Ford of Arcade, NY. Proud Papa to Derek, Hailey, Madison, Ashlyn, and Colson.
Wayne is predeceased by his father, John "Jack" Ford; his mother, Kathryn Ford (Kematick); and his brother, John Ford.
Forever in our hearts.
