Wayne Raymond

Spiers

Wayne Raymond Spiers, 76, of Abingdon, Virginia, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 29, 2026.

Born in Portsmouth, Virginia, he was the only child of the late Raymond and Katherine Spiers. He grew up with a strong work ethic, deep faith, and a love for family that would guide him throughout his life.

Wayne proudly served his country in the United States Navy before pursuing higher education at Old Dominion University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in physics. He retired after 41 years of federal service, ending his career as a Supervisory Electronics Engineer at Supervisor of Shipbuilding (SUPSHIP).

Wayne was a devoted husband to his beloved wife of 39 years, Brenda Spiers. He was a loving father to daughters, Melissa Spiers and her fiancé, Shanti Leasure; Christina Purington and her husband, John Purington; and stepdaughter, Ginger Williams and her husband, Bryan Williams. He was a proud grandfather to Elias King, Kathryn, Rebecca, Ethan, Naomi, Nora, and Gabriel Purington. He also leaves behind his beloved, faithful cat, “Rocky” Spiers.

A man of strong Christian faith, Wayne found great fulfillment in serving others. He especially enjoyed working in the parking lot ministry at Highlands Fellowship Church, where he greeted people with kindness and a welcoming spirit. In his free time, he enjoyed fishing, reading, and spending time with family. His gentle nature, wisdom, sense of humor, and unwavering faith touched the lives of all who knew him.

Wayne's family finds comfort in knowing that he is now at peace in the presence of Jesus Christ, reunited with loved ones who went before him.

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his family and friends.
