October 19, 1950 - May 23, 2025
In loving memory ~
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Wayne Thomas Gilliam on May 23, 2025, at the age of 74.
Son to Margaret; brother to John, Nancy, & Jim; and father to Colin. Wayne will be remembered as one of the original owners of Satsuki's Florist in downtown Mission. His passion for flowers led him from humble beginnings as a grower of fuchsias in Hatzic Prairie, followed by 20+ years of retail floristry, and ending his career as he started, as Grower #89 at United Flower Growers Auction in Burnaby. To his last days, Wayne enjoyed observing the blooming flowers at his care home's gardens.
