Both Randy and I have many wonderful childhood memories of Dewayne. He was such a kidder and we always had a hard time when we were kids knowing if he was kidding or not! Boy, did he love to tease us kids and ham it up! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you!

Dewayne was a huge part of my life. He was much more than a brother-in-law to me. He was always ther for me and I could count on him for anything. He was a wonderful and positive support. I will love and miss him forever.

I am so sorry to hear of Dewayne's passing. He was a good man. I remember Dewayne and Shirley from early days that included the death of Bobbi Jean and those days are etched in my memory forever. He will be truly missed.
