Wayne C. Rozler

Wayne Rozler, a beloved husband, devoted father, and cherished grandfather, passed peacefully on April 13, 2026. For 62 beautiful years, Wayne shared a deep and enduring love with his wife Patricia (née Lynch), a testament to a life built on steadfast commitment and companionship.

Wayne’s heart was full with the joy of family—his daughters, Elizabeth "Lisa" (Robert)  Kowal and Laura Rozler (Craig Miller), carried forward his legacy of love and warmth. He was a proud and dear grandfather to Tyler and Reilly, whose lives he deeply touched with his kindness. Though he leaves behind loving nieces, nephews, and a close circle of friends, he also holds a special place in memory as the beloved brother of the late Warren (Linda) Rozler.

A man of vivid passions, Wayne cherished the thrill of racing—Thursday nights at Lancaster, Fridays at Empire, and Sundays at Niagara Speedways echoed with his spirit. In quieter moments, he delighted in collecting treasures and found solace and satisfaction in piecing together puzzles, a gentle reflection of his thoughtful nature.

Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance and celebration of Wayne’s remarkable life at New Comer Cremations & Funerals, 5090 Transit Rd., Depew, NY. The family will receive visitors on Monday, April 27, from 6 to 8 PM, and Tuesday, April 28, from 2 to 3 PM, followed by a Celebration of Life at 3 PM.

In honor of Wayne’s generous spirit, the family respectfully declines flowers. Those who wish may consider contributing to St. Luke’s Mission of Mercy or the Erie County Special Olympics, causes close to his heart.

Wayne Rozler’s life was a tapestry woven with love, laughter, and cherished memories—a legacy that will continue to inspire and uplift all who knew him.
