HOOKSETT - Wayne Patrick Browning, 64, passed away peacefully on Monday, August 11, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family.

In his younger years, Wayne was a dedicated and hardworking man, spending over 20 years running a printing press before devoting himself to caring for his mother. He found joy in life’s simple pleasures—on summer days, you could find him watching the birds, enjoying the outdoors, or sharing his love of fishing with his grandson, Jaydin. During the winter months, Wayne cherished quiet moments by a warm fire, often with a Sudoku puzzle in hand.

Wayne was preceded in death by his father, George Browning, and his beloved grandson, Gavin Decker.

He is survived by his mother, Claire Browning; daughters, Kristen Browning and Nicole Millette; grandchildren, Jaydin, Madilynn, Gauge, Abel, and Michael; siblings, Cheryl, Cynthia, and Russell; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family.

Wayne will be remembered for his steady work ethic, fun-loving nature, and deep love for his family.

A memorial service will be arranged at a later date.
