June 11th, 2024
It is with great sadness we announce, Wayne Richard Piett, 66 years old, of Regina Sakatchewan, passed away quietly with family by his side after a short battle with cancer, on Tuesday June 11, 2024.
Wayne is predeceased by his father Stanley Piett and mother Alice Levadnuk - Piett. Wayne is survived by daughters, Raylene Johnson(Barry) and Desiree Ellchuk and their children. He is also survived by brothers, Garry Piett(Carol) and Kenny Piett(Brenda); and sister Beverly Little(Calvin). He will also be missed by numerous aunt's, uncle's, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
Wayne was born in Neepawa MB on February 26, 1958 were he stayed until he was a young adult. He spent some time in Brandon before he moved to Regina where he started his career with Shaw Pipeline and worked for 30 years before it closed its doors in 2020. He remained in Regina until his passing. Wayne created a second family in Regina that involved numerous friends through his work and way of life.
Wayne was very outgoing and once you got to know him, he became less intimidating and would do anything to help you. He enjoyed building model cars and watching sports on TV especially his Maple Leafs and Blue Jay's. He loved going for Tim's coffee and sitting in the parking lot drinking it. He enjoyed time with his friends and the occasional road trip to Manitoba to visit family.
Wayne will be sadly missed and the family is moved by all the outpouring of condolences and help we have received during this time. We would like to send out a heartfelt thank you to Pasqua Hospital 3B and Grace Hospice for all the compassion, understanding and care they provided to Wayne in his final months of life.

I met Wayne when we both worked at Shaw Pipe and after that spent time at the casino chatting and having a great time. Sorry to read of his passing, he will be missed.
I met Wayne in the early 1980's in the big town of Neepawa. We had all kinds of fun that unfortunately involved some alcohol. However, we both seemed to grow out of that phase of our life. But our wild days sure provided plenty of stories, good and bad, but none the less we did them together. Both Wayne and I followed Barney (Wayne Griffiths, also from Neepawa) to Regina in 1990. Fortunately, for both of us, we were able to secure a good job with Shaw Pipe, and we worked there until March of 2020. I sure will miss our coffee times at Tim Hortons, and even my daughter Mika remembers coffees with "Uncle" Wayne. Wayne was a very talented painter, and came to Marie and my rescue on several painting projects. He always said that Bill leaned into the paint roller too hard. Wayne you surely will be missed by our family! Thank you for all the memories.
