Graduated from DeLaSalle High with him and way back when we both went to the same dancing school! He was my wife’s doctor and I choreographed some musical at St Paul’s where his kids were involved,
Wayne will always be missed as he was a kind man, a great doctor, and a good friend!

I am only finding this out about Dr. Wayne Bremen now in 2021. I am devastated and my heart is broken into pieces that his family, friends, patients and coworkers will no longer have his living presence with them. Dr. Breen had a love of life and for bringing new life into the world. I know this first hand as a patient with a very difficult pregnancy and the loss of two other pregnancies. Dr. Wayne Breen brought myself and my husband through some of the most difficult times in our lives. He held my hand, prayed with us, cried laughed and rejoiced with us when he brought my now 16 year old daughter into the world. I do not believe we would have our miracle daughter if it was not for him. I believe with all my heart God brought us to Louisiana so that Dr. Breen would be the earthly angel to bring our daughter into this world. He treated me as if I were part of his family. He advised me through everything we dealt with always saying this is what I would do for my daughter. He is what the Hippocratic oath is all about. He put his patients first probably to a fault. My ob file was very thick and got one of the special spots for the really thick files on the shelf in his office. He had our complete trust. He was one of those rare docs who gave you his own cell number and expected you to use it if you needed him. He would check on you himself with a phone call. Dr. Breen made you feel like you were the most important patient he had. He was this way with all his patients. He was recommended to us by a friend who had similar experiences with difficult pregnancies. Hew was everything this couple had told us. He truly was a kind, considerate, committed and dedicated physician and man. He shared personal moments about his own family with us and truly made you feel like you were a part of his. I would have loved for him to have met my daughter that he miraculously brought into this world. I laugh when I think about my emergency delivery with Kenny Chesney country music blasting in the OR! Lol I told him later that his choice of delivery music was questionable and he laughed heartily. This man was amazing in so many ways. I will forever be his greatest champion because he truly was ours. God gifted him with the talent, skills, knowledge and compassion that truly set him apart in his field of service. I can’t imagine anyone choosing to deal with a bunch of crazy pregnant women, but I thank God everyday that Dr. Wayne Breen chose to!! He was certainly 10 ft tall in our eyes. To his children I would like to say that your dad was an amazing and incredible man. You are so very blessed to call him father. He will live forever in your hearts and in the hearts of those of us who were so fortunate and blessed to have him in our lives. I can’t look at my own beautiful daughter without thinking of him with an overflowing grateful heart. Your dad was a hero that didn’t wear a cape. He was such a great human. I can only imagine your loss because mine feels so great at this moment. I will always say his name with gratitude and will make sure my daughter knows what an amazing man brought her into the world. My husband and I are eternally grateful for your dad being in our lives. My prayers for you will be for continued strength as you live your lives without him physically in it. I know he loved you all by the way he talked about you. My own dad has been gone now 19 years and the loss is still difficult. I’m sure just these few short years it’s still hard. May God bless you as you continue your dad’s legacy of truly being a shining light in a dark world to so many. We will forever remember, love and appreciate who he was and the indelible print he left on our heart. God bless you all! I look forward one day to saying hello to him in heaven. Dr. Wayne Breen will forever be a part of our lives and own a big piece of our hearts. Thank you for sharing your dad with the rest of us!

Memories...I'm 55 years old. He is the only one who still called me kid. But then we would go in a room and he would tell the patient, Your in good hands she has been a nurse for a really long time like really long she is OLD... Or if he wanted to get a point across he would look over his glasses and say I am serious...I would smile and he would then start laughing and beg me to stop because after all... he was serious. I would not trade one memory. I will remember them all.

I extend my deepest sympathy to the family, friends and co-workers of Dr. Breen. Many hearts are broken at the sad news of his passing. I was fortunate enough to say to him in April 2014 that I thought of him as one of the most caring, knowledgeable and skilled physicians ever, and that my granddaughter survived a challenging pregnancy because of him. He greatly blessed the lives of my daughter and son in law. Dr. Breen will never be forgotten and he will certainly never be replaced. He was one of a kind. RIP Dr. Breen, and may your family feel the arms of our Lord around them in the days ahead as they enter this new reality.

I met Wayne Breen on the football field at NORD when we were 12. After knocking someone down he would pick them back up and pat them on the back. We became friends and fraternity brothers. He had an incredible zest for life and gave back unselfishly all the gifts God bestowed upon him. As the lone bagpipe played "Amazing Grace" at his burial, the departing notes spoke to his greatness in this world. I look forward to seeing him again....albeit me much less than he.

Dr. Wayne Breen gave so much of himself to help others. There is truly something to be said for those who have this gift & devotion .. who comfort hearts & help heal bodies, tirelessly & endlessly, while enduring the mental & physical stress associated with it ... for all these many years. As an RN for almost 30 years, I can attest to this.
Dr. Breen delivered my daughter in his blue jeans 24 years ago, racing to the hospital as she was born less than an hr after I arrived there. She was in potential trouble & I'm well aware of how he helped save her life. I'll never forget his words that day.
His life was spent in service to others ... our country in the military, his patients as a doctor, and father to his children. I'm in gratitude for such a human being.
May God's light embrace you, Dr. Breen, & surround your children, & all who hold you dear, with love & comfort during this painful time.

I met Drs. Breen and Scheuermann the first time in 1985, worked with them at St. Tammany in L&D and then at Highland Park. As an ER nurse working nights at Highland Park, I saw them at all hours of the night as they took care of deliveries and patients just needing to be seen. They loved what they did, respected and cared for their patients.

One of my fondest memories was the two Drs. after a C-Section around 3:30 a.m. trying to find enough change between them to purchase a soft drink at the machines in dimly light hallway...they looked at me and asked if I had any extra change...we all laughed and Dr. Breen turned to Dr. Scheuermann, "Walter we may not have any money on us, but how many people get to go to work in their jammies?" He loved what he did.

He was smart, kind to a fault, demanded the best from those who worked with him and took care of his patients; an endless patient advocate and excellent high risk pregnancy physician, a pilot and Viet Nam Veteran.

His family was so important to him. I still remember him coming through the ER with Patrick and the other children following along like little ducklings. He was so proud of Bridget's dancing and because he knew I liked ballet, gave me tickets to see her perform the Nutcracker at the Abbey. He loved his family. I will always carry him in my broken heart with fondness and love.

I pray for his children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews and Diana. He brought so many loving souls into this world. He is mourned by us all that loved and respected him.

Dr. Breen was the most kind and caring physician I have ever had. He took care of me for years and delivered my son. I will remember fondly the countless times he patiently held my hand through hard news, scared moments and before surgery. His deep, personal commitment to his patients was very evident. My husband and I are heartbroken that he will not be delivering our daughter in April. Our thoughts and prayers are with his children and family during this difficult time.

My family loved Dr. Breen and are so saddened by his tragic death. He has been our doctor and friend for 20 years, delivering 2 grandsons thru very difficult deliveries safely. He was such a kind, gentle soul who told me he would never retire because he loved delivering babies so much. I will always cherish the conversation we had about Jerome, AZ. when he was riding America on a motorcycle after Vietnam, and lived there with artists and hippies when it was truly a Ghost Town. To his children, may you always cherish your good memories of your father and let everything else go. Never doubt that he was a kind, caring, and gentle soul! He is now one of God's Angels.

Dr. Breen was one of those doctors who always made you feel comfortable. During difficult pregnancies and scary prognosis he was always the voice of reason and very reassuring. I considered him my friend. He will be missed.

I have known and loved the Breen family since 1965 although I moved away from New Orleans 33 years ago have kept in contact with his brother and friends. Wayne was the youngest of us all and was such a sweet and kind young man. It is no surprise that he became a skilled and much loved doctor who chose the challenging profession of an Ob/Gyn. I mourn the loss of a loving father to his children and grandchildren and to his beloved older brother, sister-in-law and their family. May Wayne rest in peace, with his Heavenly Father and reunited with his parents who have gone before him to Heaven.

Madeline Stack

March 6, 2015

I will remember Dr. Breen as a doctor that earned respect. As a nurse, he wanted our best care given to his patients. We would tease about having "a Breen patient" because we knew that we would be exhausted. He would keep us on our toes and we better be prepared for any outcome. He demanded the best. His patients were blessed. I was blessed to have worked with him. RESPECT is the one word that I will always think of regarding Dr. Breen. Prayers to his family.

Such an amazing man. I have known him for almost 30 years and in addition to being an amazing doctor, he was also our friend. My husband and Dr. Breen shared military stories and he helped us get through some tough times. He helped me through a difficult pregnancy and also delivered 3 of my grandchildren. He was loved by my daughters and by us. The world has lost a great physician and I am so very sorry that his children have lost such a dedicated father. God bless you all.

Dr. Breen was the best doctor I have ever had. His attention to detail, thorough evaluation of an issue, and appreciation for my following health protocols will be hard to find in any other physician. I feel for his children and grandchildren as well as his dedicated staff and the legion of women who will not be recipients of his medical expertise and compassion. God bless him and keep him - he was the last of his kind in today's world.

"Go rest high on that mountain; your work on earth is done."
I'm deeply saddened by the death of Dr. Breen. He's been my doctor for over 30 years, and my friend. He always called me by my name and never failed to ask me about my husband and family. He was genuinely interested. My daughter and both of my granddaughters are patients of his. ( He delivered my 2 granddaughters and my grandson.) He's taken care of 3 generations of my family. That is a testimony in itself, as to what a great doctor he was. He was always caring, concerned, compassionate, respectful and kind. He always explained things to me and put my mind at ease. I always knew I was in good hands. I can't begin to explain how much he'll be missed by me and my family. My husband, Danny, will miss their many talks. We were so blessed to have known him. He brought so many lives into this world. He will be greatly missed and he will never be forgotten. We love you dearly Dr. Breen. Our prayers are with his family, his friends, his office staff and coworkers.

I just can't believe you are gone. I thought you would be my Doctor and friend forever. You did so much for me over the pass 26 years as my doctor. I will never find another like you. I guess God had something for you to do in heaven. My deepest condolences to the Breen family.

Dr. Breen took great care of me for 25 years and also took wonderful care of my daughter for 16 years. I'm shocked and deeply saddened for this loss and will miss him tremendously. My heart goes out to his children. He helped me through many tough times in life and always gave me wise advice and was so compassionate. Just loved him.

I am completely heartbroken at the loss of Dr. Breen. I only had the privilege of having him as my Dr. for the past year, but during that year he has helped me tremendously. Such a caring and compassionate man. We have truly lost a remarkable soul. My deepest condolences to his children, may you all find some peace.

Dr. Breen was my resident when I was a medical student doing an OB/GYN rotation at Charity Hospital in the early 1980s. I respected him very much. He was a tad older than most of the residents, and he had a calm, "fatherly" way of coping with problems. He was also full of wise counsel about life in general. He was a wonderful professional role model. I mourn his loss deeply. My condolences to the entire Breen family.

He has been my doctor and friend for 32 years delivering all 4 of my girls after a long road of high risk pregnancies and female problems. He cared so deeply for his patients and their families like they were his own. Not a visit went by that we didn't share pics of our children and grandchildren which were his pride and joy! He would always have a farm and a tractor story which was his solace. He was compassionate and extremely talented and determined to find solutions! He liked a medical challenge and truly was the best doctor in his field. I never met a doctor who spent so many hours outside the office in care of his patients!He will be missed so dearly by this community! Praying for healing for his children, grandchildren, family, friends, patients and co-workers. Thank you for enriching my life and you will never be forgotten!

My heart was crushed when I received word of Dr. Breen's passing. I had the immense pleasure of working with him at St. Tammany Parish Hospital from 1995 to 2000. I held him in such high regard both professionally and personally. He was without a doubt the best doctor, surgeon, advocate, caretaker, counselor, consoler, and friend. He gave his heart to all his patients and their babies. His loving sacrifices and unceasing dedication to bringing life into the world can not be surpassed I truly believe. I am ever so grateful that he was responsible for bringing my first two children into this world. There was no one I trusted more completely than him with my life and that of my children. I am so deeply saddened that we have lost such an incredibly gifted man. Please know that we are so fervently praying for the repose of his soul and that his six children will be granted peace and mercy during these most painful days ahead. We mourn your father with you...

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Breen family. Dr. Breen was my doctor for almost 10 years. Every appointment he would greet me with a smile. He would ask me about my husband and the girls. He called me by name and never forgot the names of my husband and girls. Dr. Breen was the most kindest and caring man. He genuinely cared about me and all of his patients. Dr. Breen will forever be in my heart and mind. He could never be replaced. I will miss you, you are now in Gods arms. May God help ease the pain for the Breen family.

Dr. Breen delivered my first child 10 years ago today. I am so happy that both of my daughters got to meet the man that delivered them both about a month ago. He was truly an amazing person and certainly the best doctor I have ever had! He was always sincere and truly cared for my well being. I will miss him! To his family- you are in my prayers!

More than a physician... an advisor, confidante, friend. For 28 years I was blessed to consider him all of these. My prayers are with his children as they grieve the loss of this wonderful man. He will be greatly missed.

I have had the great pleasure to not only be a patient of Dr. Breen's, but to also work with him. I have never met a more caring and compassionate doctor. He always took the time to listen to all of your questions and concerns, made you feel relaxed and calm. His gentle and loving bedside manner to my miscarriage so many years ago, to being a friend and there for me and my husband with the birth of our children. I will treasure our last conversation just a couple months ago and know you will forever be in our thoughts. Prayers to his children, grandchildren and family. He was a wonderful and kind man always.
