Robert Wayne Latham

Robert Wayne Latham, 76, of Randleman passed away Friday, September 27, 2024 at home surrounded by his loved ones. He was born September 9, 1948 to Warren Latham and Hazel Lucas Latham in Asheboro, NC.

Wayne was a loving, caring, and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He loved his family more than anything, putting them above all else in his life. Wayne was well educated in life and lived a simple life with many passions. His love of others made sure no one was a stranger around him for long. He never missed a good meal, loved carp fishing, going to auctions and junkyards to find missing parts for tinkering on and repairing his old Ford trucks. Wayne loved playing golf and being with his golfing buddies. He was a volunteer fireman with Randolph Fire Department and all the firemen of the past held a special place in his heart. Wayne was a member of Dayspring Baptist Church in Worthville. He now joins his beloved wife of 49 years, Kitty, in Heaven. 

The family would like to extend a heartfelt Thank You to Marty Leonard, Fred & Jane Pack, caregiver, Heather Adkins and Hospice nurses, Mattie & Renee.
