Mr. Wayne Anthony Markham

“For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39

Mr. Wayne Anthony Markham, age 60, of 15716 Piller Lane, Bowie, Maryland, departed his earthly life on Friday, April 28, 2017, at Doctors Community Hospital in Lanham, Maryland.

Wayne received his primary education at Saint Anthony’s Catholic School in Washington D.C.  Upon graduation, Wayne continued his education at Morgan University in Baltimore, Maryland.   

Wayne grew up in Seat Pleasant, Maryland. He enjoyed his adolescent years traveling and experiencing different cultural experiences with his parents and sister.  

He was an avid reader.  On any given day, you could find him reading the entire Washington Post.  Although he was from the DMV, Wayne was a “die-hard” Dallas Cowboys fan!  Wayne was never one to complain.  He had love for everyone he met.

Wayne was preceded in death by his parents, Lawauns Lee-Markham and William Markham; his sister, Celest Markham; and his step-son, Tavaris Wade.
