It is with extreme sorrow we announce the death of Wayne William Kile, born Dec. 21, 1957, in Lansdale, Pennsylvania. He passed from this earth unexpectedly of heart failure peacefully on Aug. 11, 2022, in Oro Valley, Arizona, with his wife Randi Gale Helton-Kile present. Wayne was the son of Ruth and William Kile. Wayne lived in Lansdale with his three siblings: Jeff, Jimmy and Karen Kinsey. Wayne attended North Penn School District. Wayne started working early in life and put his skills to work by apprenticeship and on the job training with professionals. As most of Wayne's friends, peers and bosses know, if you asked if Wayne could do it, he would. His skills were Managing, Planning, Design and Print Work, Carpentry, Pipe Fitting, Foreman, Sheet Metal: Layout, Fabrication and Installation. Wayne entered the professional work force in 1978. He worked for M.A. Fadeley Co., owned by Frank Bird. Wayne stayed with this company until 1989. Wayne started as an apprentice doing sheet metal layout and fabrication for the private sector and American Olean Tile Co., eventually becoming assistant manager of inner plan fabrication and outside planner and fabricator for other contracts involved with business. Wayne always said he was a tinner, not a soprano. It was during this time that Wayne married Laurel McLean and had two amazing children, Jessica Marie Kile and Christopher Wayne Kile. He was a loving father who spent time playing, camping and coaching his kids on and off the field. He was a talented, self taught musician, playing guitar in several bands, one of which was White Ash. The bands would practice above the barn at Wayne's house on Fels Road in Quakertown, and music would fill the old farmhouse Wayne was renovating. He also loved to hunt and fish, spending many a night out "spotting" for deer with the kids and getting up early to take Breezy out hunting. He played soccer in his youth and volunteered as a coach at Quakertown Soccer Club. In 1991, Wayne decided to live his dream and move to Alaska, the Last Frontier. Wayne purchased 40 acres in Two Rivers, where he would raise cattle and enjoy his horses and dogs. He continued to follow the sheet metal career and worked for many companies, including Slayden Plumbing and Heating, H.V.A.C., Inserco and Beckley Mechanical Company. Wayne was also proud of the business he started, KileAlaska, Inc. Wayne worked in every corner of the Alaska Bush helping build schools and community buildings. He also worked on the Alaska pipeline and on many military bases. Working in the Bush also allowed him to hunt and fish on his off time. He made many friends in the villages who he kept in contact with. Wayne joined the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers, Local 23 approximately 5 years ago. Wayne continued to work union jobs up until he was diagnosed with Stage 3 Pancreatic Cancer in January 2020. Wayne met Randi late in 1995. He was contracted to work on her home and her bed and breakfast, Stone Frost Downtown Inn. It was during this month-long project that caused Randi to notice Wayne looked pretty sexy in his knee pads. It would be a joke they shared the rest of their life together. Wayne and Randi married in August of 1997. He became a loving son to Margaret Reed (Randi's mother, age 92) and step father to two beautiful daughters, Shoshana A. Helton and Stephanie D. Helton. The wedding party included Wayne's son, Christopher Kile, and daughter, Jessica Kile. It was the beginning of a beautiful blended family and, though future visits were few, the time spent together was filled with laughter and love. Wayne and Randi built their life in Fairbanks, Alaska, where Randi ran the Stone Frost Downtown Inn and Innkeeper's Antiques. Wayne was happily the bus boy, resident repair man and occasional cook when he was home from the Bush. Wayne told the guests it was an Alaska camp breakfast. Later, they would move next door into a turn-of-the-century "shotgun" cabin. Wayne took great pride into rebuilding the entire interior of the cabin. Wayne did everything except the electric and plumbing. Eventually, he also built a garage. Wayne and Randi purchased a condominium at the foot of the Catalina Mountains in Oro Valley, Arizona. The purchase was an opportunity to have a sunny place to go in the winter. Neither knew that Randi would be diagnosed in 2018 with a rare and usually fatal pulmonary disease. Randi's condition was serious and her heart stopped twice. Wayne and family were by her side for all of the surgery in Phoenix. It would take a year before she could return to Fairbanks and two years to recover from the surgery. During this time, Wayne started building her a greenhouse in Fairbanks when he was in town. He sent her weekly pictures so she could see the progress. Wayne would fly to Oro Valley whenever work allowed. Wayne was famously known to have 9 lives, beating his first heart attack at 49, a traumatic brain injury at a work site and more than one plane crash. Wayne's face would need to be rebuilt on the left side with titanium. His son Chris said his dad was a man of steel with a heart of gold. Wayne was diagnosed with stage 3 pancreatic cancer in January of 2020. Wayne and Randi were blessed to attend his son Chris' wedding to Becky in May of 2022. It was wonderful to spend time with the whole family and welcome a beautiful daughter into the family. Wayne's grandchildren were all there. It was fun and heartwarming. This was followed by a month in Kenai, Alaska, in the home of Shoshana and son-in-law Steve. It is 5 minutes from the beach. Stephanie and the grandchildren, Sophia and Leagan, drove from Fairbanks to join us, and we were together for Father's Day. Wayne wanted to have a project so he built a deck, with Steve's help, fixed a couple of doors and built a custom screen. Randi and Wayne had plans to build a small cabin on the property for summer visits. Wayne had been in remission since February of 2022, but he had other health issues. Wayne never wavered during this time. Although he weighed only 117 lbs at one time, he lifted weights, walked and swam. Wayne still believed he would return to work in his beloved state of Alaska. He eventually added weight. At the time of his death he weighed 147 lbs. Wayne spent his last day on this earth driving 50 golf balls at the course, swimming and chatting with dear friends and barbecuing steaks. During the night his great heart gave out too soon. Wayne was predeceased by his father William Kile (1958) and his mother Ruth Kinsey (2018), brothers Daniel Kile, Richard Kile, William Kile and Donald Kile. Wayne is survived by his wife of 25 years Randi Helton-Kile; son Christopher Kile (Rebecca); daughter Jessica Marie Kile (Lucas); stepdaughters Shoshana Helton and Stephanie Helton; grandchildren Matthew Kerns, Anna Kerns and Alex Kerns; step-grandchildren Sophia and Leagan; siblings Jim Kile (Pat), Robert Kile, Jeff Kinsey (Karen), Jim Kinsey and Karen Finnemeyer. Wayne is also survived by many cousins, nieces and nephews. Wayne's friends and family are many, but during his long illness he had daily contact with his cousin Rick Hofmann (Sharon) (Pennsylvania) Dean Baker (Annie) (Alaska) John O'Bryant (Vickie) (California) and Randy Sandstrom (Alaska). Jessica and Christopher will host a memorial picnic at Mumbauersvill Gun Club, 1911 Klines Mill Road, Pennsburg, Pennsylvania, 18073, Sept. 11, 2022, at noon. All are welcome to this casual celebration of life. Food and beverages will be served. They invite those who are willing to share a "Wayne" story. Randi will celebrate Wayne Sept. 24, 2022, with live guitar music from 3-5 p.m. at the Boulder Canyon Condominium clubhouse in Oro Valley, Arizona. Although Randi and Wayne had relocated to Oro valley, Arizona, Wayne's heart was in Alaska, where he had lived for the last 31 years. Randi had lived in Alaska for 45 years. Randi will return Wayne's ashes to Fairbanks, Alaska, in late June 2023 for a celebration of life tentatively in the Dog Mushers Hall in Fairbanks. Further notice to come. Condolences can be made at Vistosa Funeral Home website. Pictures can also be added at www. VistosoFH.com.
