Wayne Calvin Mosely, Sr. died Friday, November 6, 2026 with his family by his side.

He was born November 22, 1950 in Louisville, Kentucky, son of Clarence and Gladys Mosely.

Wayne was a 1969 graduate of Southern High School and then served in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS Lexington from 1970-1976. He was a volunteer firefighter for the Buechel Fire Department from 1977-2017. During his countless volunteer hours, he made many good memories and friends. Wayne was a retired bus driver for JCPS.

He enjoyed spending time “piddlin” in the garage and mowing the yard, but he absolutely loved volunteering his time with activities centered around the Crusade for Children, something he was very passionate about.

Wayne was a collector of many things, especially camouflage. It was unusual to see him without his signature camo. He was known to be able to fix ANYTHING, including but not limited to the kitchen sink, shoes, or a cut on his arm with either duct tape or WD-40, depending on the job.

Most of all Wayne loved his wife, family and friends fiercely. They meant everything to him and he always had a way of putting other people ahead of himself. He was a giver and generous beyond measure. He was also stubborn in his own way and his humor was unmatched. He was a hero to so many, often not realizing just how much he meant to them or how much of a difference he made in their lives.

His legacy will live on not only in the love he gave but through the lives he touched along the way.

In addition to his parents, Wayne was preceded in death by his son, Allen Mosely; and siblings, Garry Mosely and Joy Lewis.

Survivors include his wife of 49 years, Janie Mosely; son, Wayne Mosely, Jr. (Mandy); granddaughters, Lily, Layla, Jaida (Blake) and Riley; great grandchildren, Beux Anthony and Ellie; brother, Perry Mosely; his most loyal and loving fur baby, Remy; a host of nieces and nephews and many other loved ones.

His funeral is 12pm Friday, November 13, 2026 at Fern Creek Funeral Home, 5406 Bardstown Road, Louisville, Kentucky with burial in Resthaven Memorial Park. Visitation is 12-8pm Thursday, November 12, 2026.
