Wayne E. Rabideau, 78, of Shelburn, Indiana passed away Wednesday July 5, 2023 in his residence. He was born August 23, 1944 in Ludlow, MA. Wayne is survived by his wife, Cheryl (Yaw) Rabideau; daughters, Hollie Fields (Michael) of Terre Haute and Christina Yaw Goodman (Joel Medina) of Auburndale, FL; sister, Joanne Tuttle of Massachusetts; five grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. He was a veteran of the US Army, Wayne built the house, with his own hands, that he passed in after losing their previous home to a fire. He was an avid deer hunter and NASCAR fan; Dale Earnhardt #3 was his driver. He enjoyed classic country music. He was a true "jack of all trades, master of none". He kept working on his house until he absolutely couldn't, just 1-2 months prior to his passing. Military honors will be held at a later date.
