He was preceded in death by his father, Parker Cape, and mother, Mabel Cape.

Wayne leaves behind his loving wife, Ann Cape of Statesville; one Son, Timothy Cape (Tabitha) of Statesville; three daughters, Dana Stewart (Damon) of Stony Point, Denise Carlisi (Tony) of Statesville, and Amanda Perry (Will) of Troutman; eight grandkids, Preston, Taylor, Mariah, Hunter, Olin, Harley, Ayden, and Mylen; twelve great grandkids, Weston, Tatum, Dallas, Stella, Lilah-Mae, Abby, Aaliyah, Harper, Ensley, RaeLynn, Wyomi, and Ann; two sisters, Mary (Mike) Campbell of Harmony, and Sue Chapman of Stony Point; and special friends, Jeff and Crystal Moore of Statesville.

Wayne was married to his loving wife Ann for 53 years. He was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army in 1972 and started driving a truck for Perdue. After Perdue he began his long career of roofing for 37 years. He retired from JMS Roofing and enjoyed spending his mornings eating breakfast with his buddies at the RX Pharmacy. Wayne had a strong faith in God and loved listening to gospel music and preaching while sitting in his recliner. Wayne never met a stranger and appreciated the search for a good bargain. Wayne always had the ability to light up the room, but the thing he enjoyed the most was making sure everyone knew he was right.

Funeral services will be held Tuesday, January 14, at 2 p.m. in the Troutman Funeral Home Chapel, officiated by Rev. Jacob Scott. Burial will follow at Iredell Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends Monday, January 13, from 6 until 8 p.m. at Troutman Funeral Home.
