Wayne is also survived by his brother Ben (Carolyn) sister Sandy (Clancy) and many loving nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his sister Joyce Covington. Wayne graduated from Pompano Beach High School and the University of Florida with a degree in agriculture. He began his career as the assistant agriculture agent for Broward County. He then continued in agriculture as the first farmer to grow vine ripe tomatoes in the state of Florida. Triple C farms became one of the largest tomato operations in the state. After farming tomatoes, Wayne finished his career as a citrus grower in Indian River County.

  • The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

  • Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
