Wayne Gustav Brumm, age 74, of La Porte, IN, passed away on Wednesday, November 26, 2025 after a courageous battle with brain cancer.

Wayne was preceded in death by his parents, Gus and Mary Brumm, and his sister, Sharon Power.
Wayne grew up in Lansing, IL, and earned his bachelor's degree at Carthage College and went on to earn his CPA and CFP designations.
With over 50 years experience, he built a successful financial advisory practice that reflected his values, his perseverance, and his passion for helping others.
In his free time, Wayne dedicated a large part of his life to coaching and developing youth from all over the Midwest.

He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.

I always considered Wayne a best friend and will miss him very much. I always admired his genuineness, humility and equanimity. I shared many Good Times watching his AAU team play. He easily could have been a level one college basketball coach. Diane my prayers are with you and I so sorry that I miss the funeral
