In Memory

Delmas Wayne Carver - Class Of 1963 VIEW PROFILE

Delmas Wayne Carver, fondly known as “Pete” to his family, left this existence and entered into his new adventure on September 5, 2014.
 
He is preceded in death by his parents Claudius Bradley Carver and Virginia Pauline “Toms”, as well as some very special aunts, uncles and cousins.  
 
He leaves in his wake a loving and beautiful best friend, caregiver and wife Gay Swanson Carver; three daughters, Susan Lee, Nicole Griffin and Cara Carver Anderson and her husband Dana; seven grandchildren Riley Lee Evans, Samantha Lee Evans, Mary Milton, Tre Griffin, Elie Griffin, III, Jacob Liam Anderson and Noah Wayne Anderson; and two step granddaughters Ashley Anderson and Sarah Anderson. He was also survived by special aunts and uncles as well as numerous cousin, nieces and nephews.
 
Wayne was retired from the insurance industry and had an amazing sense of humor.  Many weekends he could be found watching NASCAR, football, strumming a guitar or banjo, or just traveling around the countryside enjoying the beauty of nature.  He loved bluegrass music, Jeepsters and challenges of all kinds, even to the point of preparing tax returns for his many clients and constructing the home he and Gay raised their family in.  His loving wife Gay always joked with him by saying, “You are a Jack of all Trades and a Master of None”, although he surely mastered fatherhood.
 
A memorial gathering will be held on Friday September 19, 2014 from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Teague Funeral Home.  There will also be a celebration of life held at the residence of Wayne and Gay on Saturday September 20, 2014 at 2 p.m.

To the family of Wayne and the Alumni:
There are alot of fond memories of Wayne and just recently in the past couple of years Wayne and I connected through Facebook.  It was neat to get back in touch with an old friend.  Wayne is one great guy...a true gentle giant at AHS.  We played JV and Varsity Football together and in 1963.  We were members of the 1961 Championship Team.
 
Wayne, being from Covesville, had a bus drivers license and he drove the athletic bus for the players who lived south of town.  A great accomodationfor  many who could not afford a car or had the fortune to have a parent pick us up after practice.  For many of us that was our only way home from practice other than thumbing home after practice or a game.  Wayne afforded us that opportunity to play ball.
 
I remember one really special time with Wayne...we were coming home after a game one night and we stopped on US-29 just south of Fry's Springs intersection (it was still a 2 lane US Hwy 29) at a pizza place on the south side of the highway. That evening I had my first pizza and it was with the Wayne and the guys.  
 
AHS graduated some absolutely fine folks in our day.  Wayne was one of those exceptional greats.  What blessed students we all were to have such quality friends with Wayne being one of them
 
Our memories of Wayne are of a team spirit, fun and great times...and I know the family's memories are definitely a treasure chest of happiness. 
 
Our prayers...our blessings go out to Wayne and his family.

Really sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. He was a great guy and though I rarely saw him after high school, I really enjoyed bumping into him occasionally around town and catching up on what we were doing with our lives and talking about the good old days - it was always a real pick-me-up to see him. We played football together at AHS and he was a force to be reckoned with on the line. I'm glad to have known Wayne, will miss him, and will to remember him fondly. Dan Falwell - class of '63
