10/24/2015 - R. Wayne Buckmaster
A memorial service for R. Wayne Buckmaster, age 59, of Albert Lea, MN, formerly of Chadron, NE, will be at 2:00 PM on Saturday, October 24, 2015 at the First Baptist Church-Kenwood Chapel in Chadron, NE. The first memorial service and burial were held in June in Minnesota.
Memorials are suggested to the First Baptist Church-Kenwood Chapel in Chadron, the First United Methodist Church in Austin, MN, or the Cancer Center of Albert Lea Medical Center, where Wayne was Chair of the Surgery Division and a member of the Medical Center Leadership Team.
Wayne passed away at his home in Albert Lea, MN, surrounded by his loving family, on Thursday, June 18, 2015. He was born on Aug. 28, 1955, in Chadron, NE, to Donald and Doloris (Chizek) Buckmaster. He graduated from Chadron High School in 1973 and attended Anoka Ramsey College. In 1974, Wayne began his employment as a trackman on the railroad for 10 years.
He was united in marriage to the love of his life, Jennifer Hucke, on February 27, 1982 in Chadron, NE. He pursued his undergraduate education at Chadron State College and went on to receive his degree as a doctor of podiatric medicine at Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine in Chicago, IL.
He completed his residency in Hot Springs, SD, and then worked for a short time in Rapid City, SD. Wayne and Jennifer found an opportunity to begin a podiatry practice in Albert Lea and began Family Foot Care in 1992.
In 1995, he began working at Albert Lea Medical Center, where he also served as Chair of the Surgery Division and was a member of the Medical Center Leadership Team. He regrettably had to take medical leave in October 2013. He was a member of the First Baptist Church-Kenwood Chapel in Chadron, NE. He was called back to his faith and attended First United Methodist Church in Austin, MN.
Wayne was a beloved son, brother, husband, father, and papa. He loved nothing more than to spend time with his family and spoil his three grandchildren. He also enjoyed fishing, baking, working as a podiatrist, gardening, and was especially proud of his impeccable lawn. Let us not forget about his true passion, Nebraska Cornhusker Football!
Wayne is survived by wife Jennifer of Albert Lea, MN; daughters Lynsie Moritz and her children Grayson and Cora of Austin, MN, Brittany (Travis) Vlaminck and their son Sullivan of Rochester, MN; mother Doloris Buckmaster; sister Jolene (David) Meyer of Sergeant Bluff, IA; sisters-in-law Janet (John) McGary of Plymouth, NE, Connie (Tim) Rounds of Scottsbluff, NE, and Susan Hucke of Chadron, NE; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by father Don Buckmaster; his grandparents; and father-in-law and mother-in-law Farren and Betty Hucke.
