Wayne McMahan

Harry Wayne McMahan, age 79 of Elder Street, Boaz, died on Wednesday June 29, 2022, at his residence. A memorial service was held on July 1st by his family and friends at McRae Chapel in Boaz. Wayne retired from Mueller after 30 years of service. He was one of the original company hires. He was known to be a very hard worker and dedicated to his job. He enjoyed Alabama football, Boaz High School football, and fishing Lake Guntersville. He also had a servant heart that many of his family, neighbors, and friends would often see. He dedicated his days to helping those in need around him by providing transportation to appointments, doctor visits, grocery shopping, and to various shifts of work. Even though he lived with a lot of physical pain and limitations, he never complained. He enjoyed working in his yard by taking pride in his place and maintaining it. His biggest companion was his favorite dog, Misty. After Misty’s passing, he adopted a dog named Buddy. Buddy is whom he would spend his last days on Earth with. He loved animals and loved having them as companions. Wayne’s biggest love and passion came from talking about his 4 daughters and 10 grandchildren. He loved spending time with family and cherished each moment. He was a good man, rather a great man. He loved family. He loved people and this was obvious through his actions. He had a lifetime of hard obstacles but overcame them all. He is survived by his daughters and sons-in-law: Nancy McMahan of Boaz, Sherry & David Scott of Boaz, Robin McMahan Scott of Albertville, Heather & Warren Jones of Guntersville, 10 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, & sister, Nell Presley of Boaz. He was preceded in death by his parents: Lee & Ruby McMahan, Brothers: James McMahan and Ray McMahan, Sisters: Sue Cooley and Betty WolfRhoades. In honor of Wayne’s life, the family is asking donations be made to the 2nd Chance Animal Shelter, 130 Co. Rd. 398, Boaz, Al 35957.
