Wayne Achille LoPresto, 74

February 01, 2025

Wayne Achille LoPresto, 74, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by the people he loved most on Feb. 1, 2025, in Brewster, MA. Born on June 11, 1950, Wayne was a well-respected resident of Berkshire County and Cape Cod, known for his vibrant personality and dedication to service. He was always willing to help his friends, family and community.



Wayne graduated from Mount Greylock Regional High School and pursued higher education at North Adams State College, now known as Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. He was very proud of his status as a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War and throughout his life he held firm to his values and political opinions.



His professional life was marked by significant contributions in the financial sector, where he excelled as a Senior Vice President at Properties of America. He worked as a Financial Advisor at Smith-Barney, True North Financial Services and Cape Cod Five Savings Bank in the Trust and Asset Management department, dedicating a total of 27 years to guiding others in financial planning.



Beyond his professional endeavors, Wayne was deeply committed to his community. He was an avid golfer, a passionate music lover, and a devoted sports fan. His community service included roles such as Chairman of the Orleans Chamber of Commerce, Trustee of Pine Cobble School, Corporator of Northern Berkshire Health Systems, and co-chairman of the Bay State Games. Notably, he played a significant role in bringing Pops In The Park to Orleans and was a dedicated volunteer for The United Way, the Y.M.C.A., and various other charities and organizations. He cherished coaching his sons' baseball and hockey teams, reflecting his profound love for family and community.



Wayne is survived by his wife, Margaret LoPresto; sons, Justin and Nick LoPresto; daughter, Natalie Allard and son-in-law, Christopher Allard; grandchildren, Arianna LoPresto, Olivia Allard, and Logan Allard; and sisters, Cynthia Sears and Suzette Pierce. He was preceded in death by his parents, Archie and Hazel LoPresto, and sister, Sandra LoPresto.



Services to honor Wayne's life will be held at Nickerson Funeral Home in Orleans, MA, on February 22nd from 2-5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Tunnels To Towers, honoring Wayne's lifelong commitment to charitable giving and community support.
