George “Wayne” Napier, 71 peacefully passed on Saturday, May 7, 2022 at 6:36am surrounded by his loved ones. Wayne was preceded by his father George “Bud” Napier, mother Dorothy “Dottie” McDavid, and little brother Jeff Napier. Wayne is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Wilma Jean Napier, son John (Shawna) Napier, daughter Angela Nicole “Angie” Napier, sister Tina Marie Napier, and grandchildren Kaliska Cheyenne Kidwell, Logan Alexander Napier and Ayden Matthew Napier. Wayne dedicated over 30 years of service to Duke Energy as a trouble shooter. He served as an Executive Board Member of the IBEW as well as a Steward. Wayne was a devoted family man and found joy in seeing that his family was protected and well cared for. Wayne was known for his generosity to the point of having “Can’t say no syndrome”. His smile would light up the room and he was told by many that he gave the best hugs. As a music lover, Wayne created JAKLA media where he wrote and produced music. Wayne also had a fine collection of beautifully unique guitars. Wayne’s kindness, generosity and devotion made him a rare-breed that this world will miss dearly. Visitation will be held on Thursday, May 12, 2022 at Highlands Cemetery Chapel from 11am until time of service at 1pm. Donations are requested to the American Kidney Foundation at AKF.org, American Liver Foundation at ALF.org or to donate life.

May 11, 2022 at 1:53 amOne of the first people to welcome me to the family was Wayne (and Wilma, of course). I remember so well his sweet disposition, his interest in me, his willingness to sit and talk to me at a family gathering where I knew no one. Wayne holds a special place in my heart, and I will miss him. I am glad he is not in pain now, but I will still miss him. Love to the whole family..
