Wayne Phillip Buisse, age 63, passed away at his home on Monday, August 05, 2024 after a years-long battle with chronic kidney disease surrounded by his loved ones.
Wayne was born in Racine, WI on December 12, 1960 to the late Phillip and Sally (nee: Blum) Buisse. After graduating from St. Catherine’s High School, Wayne went to work for Wolohan Lumber selling lumber and building supplies, a career he continued at multiple companies until his retirement from Bliffert Lumber in 2022. Also a successful entrepreneur, Wayne built many of the houses in Sturtevant through his company W.P.B Builders.
Wayne was a pillar of the community and his homes in Sturtevant, WI and Mission, TX were the meeting place for countless Packer games, happy hours, and impromptu gatherings. His greatest joys in life were spending time with those closest to him and cooking. An accomplished amateur chef and larger-than-life host, he made sure no one left his home hungry. Wayne loved to travel, often to Belize for the food, culture, and sunshine. He split his leisure time at home between snowmobiles in the winter and boating in the summer.
Surviving are his son Kevin (Jenna) Panke-Buisse, sisters, Linda (Alex) Ramos and Lisa Buisse (Dave Salas), grandchildren Xander and Raina Panke-Buisse, nephew Jake (Jamie) Edgerly, grandnephew, Jase Edgerly, other relatives, and many friends.

Condolences to the family on the loss of Wayne. He is no longer suffering and at peace.
Jeffrey L. Debe says
I’ve known Wayne from way back in his Wolohan Lumber days…
Wayne would always tell you “the way it was”, whether it was a world view, or his view.
His pickles were legendary, along with his many adventure stories (I think he may have had some feline blood in his veins as it seemed he had more than 9 lives; right, cousin Mel)!
I owe him much gratitude for recommending me, for hire, to Ray Weisenbeck at Bliffert Lumber. Bliffert has turned out to be the best company I’ve ever worked for.
Thanks Wayne.

Francine says
Wayne (aka Buzz) was one special guy! Got to know him at Wolohan Lumber as a co-worker to find out he was the brother to a high school chum (Linda), whom we still keep in touch with each other. I have very fond memories of time spent with him over the years that will never be forgotten. I wish for all his family and friends contentment that he is no longer in pain, that he has risen to be reunited with his parents & also with his Lord & Savior. He has & will always have a special place in my heart! My condolences to his entire family, hugs across the airway miles. RIP to a dear soul!

Our condolences to Wayne’s son, family and friends. He helped us build our house in 1993 which is still our home today. He made it a fun endeavor. So many wonderful memories have been made here and still are, all of which started with Wayne Buisse.
Forever in our hearts and thoughts – Rest in peace.
