Wayne McKay Obituary
April 2, 1935 to June 5, 2024
Wayne was a farmer and cattle rancher in Swan Valley, Idaho. He helped build the Palisades Dam before relocating to Grass Valley and becoming an iron worker where he worked on such projects as Bullards Bar Dam, Golden Center Freeway, and Arco Arena. He was very proud of his time with Local 118 and was admired for his abilities. He was a proud Patriot and a colorful character; he will be missed very much.
He is survived by his partner of 44 years, Lois
Robinson.
His wishes were for a Graveside Service in Idaho.

I have known Wayne since the 8th grade . He worked with my dad Art Piver as an iron worker. They were great friends and he was around s lot. They were hard workers and a wild bunch. Wayne always treated me great as a kid and later when I would run into him at the store or at a church. I always liked Wayne a lot and he was a man of conviction who stood up for what he believed in! My condolences to his family! Sincerely Kelly R Sanders

Wayne and Lois were pillars in the real estate industry for decades with Wayne always there lending a smile and helping hand to Lois and the community. He will be remembered as a good man. May he find his way to Oneness as he journeys on. Blessings Wayne.

Uncle Wayne was a kind, caring, sweetheart of a man. Loved his stories of growing up in Idaho. He loved his Lois more than life itself. So proud of his kids. A champ at the game Phase 10. Always met us with a smile and an offer for a tasty bar-b-que. Miss him so much.
