Wayne Brady Passes

ORP Team: It is my sad duty to report that Wayne Brady, former Marion County Republican Central Committee Chair and Delegate to the 2008 National Convention from the 5th CD has passed away after a long and difficult illness. I have confirmed Wayne’s passing with our Current Marion County Chair Jan Williamson. Wayne died early this morning [Tuesday, March 13, 2012] of complications of liver cancer in a Salem Hospital. We are awaiting announcement for notification of Wayne’s family. Burial and memorial arrangements are pending. I will coordinate an announcement with Marion County Republican Chair Jan Williamson.
I had the honor of going to the 2008 Republican National Convention in Minneapolis with Wayne, as a fellow 5th CD Delegate. He was a patriot and a true conservative who always said “Conservatism wins”. After passing the gavel to Jan Williamson in 2010 Wayne became instrumental in the Capitol War Room working with AFP and ORP volunteers. Wayne will be missed. We will miss Wayne’s strong voice, keen judgment and ready smile.
Please join me in praying for Wayne Brady and his family.

Jan Williamson asks, "If anyone has biographical information or anecdotes you remember from your life with Wayne please send them to me. I am making a collection for Pat. Thank you." Jan
