Wayne Raymond Hewitt, of Georgetown, was called home to be with our lord Feb. 23, 2022.
Wayne was born May 12, 1951, in Caribou, Maine. He relocated to Austin in his early childhood and was a graduate of Reagan High School.
Wayne had a humble servant’s heart. He would always lend a helping hand to those in need. He had an infectious smile, a quick wit and loved making people laugh. He had a gift for striking up a conversation with anyone and everyone. Each friend held a special place in his heart.
Wayne had an adventurous free spirit. He had a passion for motorcycles and hot rods and riding his motorcycle across the open roads brought him joy.
Wayne was also a devoted father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle and great-uncle. One of his fondest memories was taking his daughter on a cross country road trip to Maine in a two-seater Pontiac Fierro, listening to a George Straight cassette the entire way.
He was so proud of his four generations, and he always made sure his great-granddaughter was stocked up on Jell-O and chocolate pudding. Family was the light of his life.
Wayne’s mother, Ruby Hewitt, father, Raymond Hewitt, and sister, Lisa Hewitt-Byrd welcomed him to his heavenly home.
He is survived by his daughter, Kelly Hewitt-McElmurry and partner Scott Zucknick; three grandchildren, Ashlyn Wharton and husband Cody, Alyson McElmurry, and Colten McElmurry; one great-grandchild, Sophie Wharton; niece, Brittany Byrd Morrison and great-niece, Beckett Morrison. He is also survived by close family friends, Jim Connolly and the Fredley family.
The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to neighbors and friends of the San Gabriel RV Park, the medical staff at Georgetown Fresenius Dialysis Center, and to Georgetown ISD for their unwavering support.
To our Daddy, Grandpa, Granddaddy, Uncle and Friend, until we meet again, you will live forever in our hearts. May your beautiful soul be shifting through gears on the highways of heaven. We love you.
Services will be private.
Arrangements entrusted to Providence-Jones Family Funeral Home.
