My heart is heavy as I’m just reading about Dewayne. I did not know Dewayne much as an adult but I did consider him my friend in high school but the years parted our ways. His personality and lives that he has touched will live on forever. It saddens me that we lost touch with each other over the years. My prayers remain with his family and friends.
You will always remain in our hearts even though you are no longer here with us physically. The family loves and misses you dearly.
