Wayne Dell Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Wayne Dell (Cotopaxi, Colorado), born in Leadville, Colorado, who passed away on May 3, 2018, at the age of 69, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Wayne Dell to pay them a last tribute.
He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Paul and Iola. He was also cherished by husband, father, and grandfather, son in law and friend.
If Wayne was still here, he would say "it will be alright, God is watching out for all of us, however it is up to you to listen and take care of your own life, pay attention to details and you will make it work." His strength and fierce love of family were the chains that held us together. When we lose the master link, we have to find a way to come together and support each other. Wayne was my best friend and the love of my life. I know he will watch from a far, to give us all a little nudge every once in a while if we get lost, he will give us the strength we need. We will all be a little lost and lonely for a while, but given time we will recognize he has never left, he is just living in our hearts. Wayne is survived by the love of his life, his wife of 48 years, Colleen Dell; a son and daughter-in-law Ed and Pam Dell. A daughter and son-in-law Theada and Tom Bartel, sisters and brother-in-laws Wanda and Perry Ball and family, Vicki and Mike Flanders and family, Gayle and Dave Barkey and family, Adopted family Wayne Edward Thomas, Mary and Rich Clayton. Wayne is also survived by two granddaughters, bright stars in his night sky and the highlight of his days, Raven and Salem Godfrey. Now each of us carries a piece of the strongest, fullest heart, and we are left to share that legacy. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations please be made to the Deer Mountain Volunteer Fire Department, 6181 CR 28, Cotopaxi, CO 81223.
