Wayne Brummett, 34, of Indianapolis, passed from this life on December 18, 2015, in Kindred Hospital, Greenwood. He was born on November 11, 1981, in Martinsville. Wayne was blessed as the middle child in a family with two sisters, Tonya and Amanda. Surrounded by women growing up, he deemed himself the man of the house. He was the one his mother and sisters could count on to be their protector and they could always lean on him for support. When his niece, Savannah was born, Wayne took over the father figure role, known as Unkie. He attended Plainfield High School as a young adult and later worked as a laborer, specializing in concrete and fencing. Wayne was a hard worker, loved music, and fishing; especially deep sea fishing, He was the ultimate Indianapolis Colts fan and was always dressed and ready on game day in his Reggie Wayne jersey. When Wayne was diagnosed with cancer three and a half years ago, he continued on with working every day and never let the disease get the best of him. He decided to live like he was dying. When he knew that he would not be able to make it to special occasions with his only son, Tristen, he sat down and wrote letters to Tristen for each future occasion. Above all, Wayne was an outgoing, funny, genuine man, with a great sense of humor and a cool attitude.
