Wayne Coppage Obituary

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of a truly remarkable man a devoted husband, father, and friend, Wayne Coppage, 66, of Telford, who left this world far better than he found it. His life was one defined by love, compassion, and quiet strength. Though his name may not be known by all, the lives he touched will forever carry the weight of his kindness.

A man of great generosity, he was a protector and provider not just to his own family, but to countless others. Always offering them not just shelter but a father's steady guidance and unwavering love. His door was always open, his heart even more so.

He was a man of the land - happiest with a fishing pole in hand or deep in the woods during hunting season. Nature was his peace, his place to reflect and recharge. Yet, even among his many prized possessions - a testament to his hard work and appreciation for life's finer things - he never let material things define him.

What he valued most was clear: his wife. She was the love of his life, his partner, and his greatest treasure. He spoke often of her with pride and devotion, calling her his greatest blessing. Their love story was one of true partnership that inspired everyone who knew them.

He leaves behind a legacy of love in the many lives he lifted, the children he raised, and the deep roots of family and friendship he cultivated.

He will be missed beyond words, remembered forever, and honored always.

Rest easy. Your work here is done - and it was beautiful.
