The Palm Beach, Florida comedy community mourned the loss of a local fan-favorite as comedian Wayne Felber died Thursday morning due to COVID-19.
Once the death was announced to the public, friends and family took to social media expressing their love and memories of Wayne, as many people described him as a loving man of faith who cherished loved ones and wanted to change lives with one laugh at a time.
“The comedy scene is going to really miss a character like that because they don’t really come as often as they do being really supportive of other people and other comics.” said Comedian Michael Cintron.
Known by many as a fighter to the very end, Felber survived being diagnosed with cancer 11 years ago and had high hopes of him surviving a positive test for COVID-19.
Making people laugh was one of the many joys of Felber, but also giving back to his community. He started Team Felber, which hosted fundraisers for people in need.
His friends said his comedic legacy will live on along with the impact he and his wife, Sharon, made throughout the years.
“Wayne was a healer we come here, and we’ll heal ourselves. Then we’ll heal other people. He always took it a step further besides that he always did charities,” said comedian Ramon Garcia.
We Own The Laughs would like to send our thoughts and prayers to Wayne Felber and his family as they deal with this tragic loss.
