Remembering Wayne Budge

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of one of Federated’s best – Wayne Budge. He passed away on June 12, 2023, after a long health battle. He was surrounded by his loving wife, Wendy, son Shea along with his sister and brother-in-law.

Wayne started his career with Federated on Sept 20,1982 in the Winnipeg claims office as an Office Adjuster. He progressed in Claims, in various roles, from an Adjuster to an Examiner and in 1986 to a Supervisor.  In 1998, he became the Corporate Training Manager until 2008 when he joined the Association team as a Service Coordinator. In 2014, he was promoted to a Senior Account Representative and in 2016 to Manager Association Partnerships. Wayne celebrated 40 amazing years of service with Federated in 2022 and retired in December. Wayne was a true leader, friend, and a key Federated family member. Many described him as simply ‘one of a kind’.

Our deepest sympathies and keeping his loved ones in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
