Wayne Kenneth Harrison, born January 8, 1948, passed away peacefully at OSF St. Francis Medical Hospital in Peoria, IL at 11:17 pm on December 17, 2025.

He was a son of Marie & Donald Harrison and youngest brother to Dianne Lyckberg who all preceded him in death.  Surviving are his older brother Donald & his wife Lorraine and their children David, Katherine, Daniel and Suzanne & their respective spouses & children; his brother-in-law William Lyckberg; and niece Christina Gensler & husband Jon and their children.

Wayne grew up in Elizabeth, NJ, but always considered Vermont his home where he spent the lion share of his life living and working for the U.S. Postal service.

Wayne was proud to be a U.S. veteran with the Seabees (U.S. Navy's construction battalion) and told the story that he built a stage for Bob Hope to perform during the Vietnam War, but never got to see him perform because he got sent to rebuild a blown up bridge. Wayne was very well read and loved photography, U.S. History, science, the Vermont mountains and "going down the shore".

Per his wishes, cremation has been accorded.  Deiters Funeral Home and Crematory in Washington, IL is assisting the family with arrangements.
