Wayne W. Colbert

Wayne W. Colbert, 51, of Tamarac, Florida, passed away on Monday April 4, 2011 at his residence. This is the story of our father Wayne Walter Colbert, born on October 9, 1959 in Yonkers, New York. He died April 4th 2011. Our daddy was and still is the best father anyone could EVER ask for. He had such a warm heart and was always willing to help anybody out no matter what the circumstances were. He taught me to love reading because he would always read to me when I was a little girl. When we used to live in hidden harbor, where I live now, our father would take me to the gas station everyday to get candy. He used to take me and my best friend Crystal to big lots and buy us goody bags. We used to walk to the Dennys by our house and pick up our lunch in which he brought for us. Wayne always loved his mother to pieces and he would always make sure she was okay. He was always so worried about his mother and what do you know, she out lived him. The day he passed, he took us out to the dollar store and big lots. He brought me frozen yogurt at the new ice cream place by our house. I will never forget how that night he told me to pick out whatever I wanted for the barbeque that we had that night at Publix. He said this was the last time we were ever going to use our barbeque grill because it was broken and we needed a new one. It was so strange how he said that would be the last time we used our barbeque grill. I know he would be so happy that the night after he passed, me Crystal and Alexis were together again as we were when we grew up. He loved his grandchildren to pieces. He was getting so close to my oldest daughter Faith. She loved her pop pop and he loved her. He told my mother that even if he was in the worst mood, she just made him melt. My father always wanted a tattoo of mother Mary with me and my brother’s name on it. Now I will get that same tattoo just because he always wanted it. He loved his family and his two best friends, Uncle Ed and Franco, my god father. He always wanted to come back to New York and now we are here in New York. My poor father was so stressed from his job and worried about his mother. He always was afraid to die so I am glad he went in his sleep. He didn’t even know it happened. Now my daddy is not stressed anymore and he won’t have any more panic attacks. He is with us right now as we speak. He loved his Castillo and cigarettes. He always made the holidays so special for our family. He would help me watch my kids when I was sick or even just last week when I wanted to go to the beach for my spring break. Even though he is gone, I feel like he made me be the strong one since I was so close to him. I have to hold our family together just like he would do. I will finish my school this December because I know that is what he would want. I’m glad we spent Faiths first birthday together at the Rainforest Café. I knew my father was so happy that night. I would always laugh around my father and feel so happy and better around him. My mother will never love any other man or be with any other man. They may have their fights like any couple but they both love each other with all of their heart. My brother always took care of my father and he was literally there to the end. We will always love my father and even though it will kill us every day, we have to try for him to be successful. One day soon we WILL meet again and I will be in my father’s arms always in forever.
