Wayne Lee Doxtator, 42, Green Bay, passed unexpectedly on Friday, October 6, 2023. The son of Georgetta "Sam" Doxtator and Adrian "Kenny" Gardner was born on November 30, 1980 in Wausau.

Wayne cherished his role as a father to his five daughters and one son, and becoming a grandfather was an exceptional gift for him. He loved taking them to water parks and Chuck-E-Cheese to celebrate special occasions with all of them. Even during his toughest times, he was always able to have fun and make people laugh.

He was an avid Packers, Brewers and Bucks fan, and especially enjoyed watching Packer games with his mom. He also had a close relationship with his paternal grandparents, Lena and Ralph, and he always had a special place in his heart for them.

Wayne is survived by his daughters, Precious (fiancé Cody Derginer), Nevaeh, Meiah, Denali and Deionee; son, Masonn; grandchildren, Kehlani, Devina, Dasani and Aycen, and a grandson on the way. He is further survived by his partner, Bridgette Wheeler; grandfather, Ralph Gardner; sister, Kristen; as well as aunts, uncles and extended family members and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Georgetta "Sam" and Adrian "Kenny"; grandmother, Lena; and uncles, Brook and Mike.

Family and friends may visit at Ryan Funeral Home, 305 N. Tenth Street, De Pere, from 10:00 a.m. to noon on Friday, October 13, 2023. A sharing of stories and a drum performance will take place at noon to conclude the visitation.
