Wayne Ludwick, a resident of North Myrtle Beach, SC since 2014 and former longtime resident of Elizabeth Twp., PA, passed away peacefully at McLeod Seacoast Medical Center in Little River on Sunday morning, March 24, 2024. He was 86 years old.

Wayne is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Patricia Ann (Kushner), and his devoted sons, Eric (Nancy) Ludwick of Elizabeth Twp. and Brian Ludwick of Miami, FL. He leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter through his grandchildren, Steven Springer, Jason (Ale) Springer, Justin Springer, Jenna Ludwick, and Ethan “EJ" Ludwick,  nieces, nephews, and many friends who were touched by his kindness and generosity.

Born in Buena Vista, PA on November 11, 1937, Wayne was the son of the late Clyde R. and Evelyn (Brown) Ludwick. In addition to his parents and siblings Russell, Carol and Robert, he was preceded in death by his daughter and son-in-law, the late Lynda (Gary) Springer of Elizabeth Twp. PA.

Named after the famed brother outfielders duo Paul and Lloyd Waner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Wayne embodied their spirit of camaraderie and teamwork throughout his life. A retired U.S. Army veteran and dedicated employee of the Port Authority of Allegheny County for 25 years, Wayne was an active member of the Free & Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania Duquesne-McKeesport Lodge #731. His easygoing nature and willingness to help others endeared him to all who knew him. Wayne's family and friends will remember him for his warmth, humor, and unwavering love.

In accordance with Wayne's wishes, no funeral service was held. The family plans to honor his memory with a private memorial celebration in the future. Donations in Wayne's honor may be made to the charity of the donor's choice.
