Wayne Browning Obituary

Wayne Patrick Browning of Hooksett, born March 17, 1961, passed away August 11, 2025, surrounded by loved ones.

He graduated from West High School in 1979 and dedicated much of his career to the graphic arts industry, beginning at Reprographics in Concord, where he operated a small printing press alongside his brother, Russ. He later brought his talents to Capital Offset and Evans Printing Company, also in Concord.

Wayne enjoyed hunting, fishing, and camping with his family. On chilly winter nights, he could be found sitting by the wood stove, working on Sodoku puzzles. In the summer, he spent time tending to his plants and watching the birds. He will be deeply missed by his beloved family, and his niece's French Bulldogs, Venti and Trenta, whom he loved to dog-sit.

He is predeceased by his father, George Browning, Jr., and a grandson, Gavin Decker. He is survived by his mother, Claire Browning of Hooksett, two daughters, Kristen Browning of Pembroke and Nicole Millette of Bow, his former wife, Janice Bresnahan of Boscawen, five grandchildren, Jaydin, Madilynn, Gauge, Abel, and Michael, two sisters, Cynthia Sinville of Jefferson, ME and Cheryl Hurley and her husband Ray of Webster, one brother, Russell Browning and his wife Susan of Peoria, AZ, friend and former brother-in-law, Donald Sinville Jr., one niece, KarenAnne Sinville of Hooksett, and two nephews, Geoffrey Sinville of Sweden and Michael Browning of Bow, two aunts, Patricia Bonenfant of Dover and Jeannette Lamy of Manchester, and several cousins.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date.
