He attended Lew Wallace High School and graduated in 1982. He later continued his education at Vincennes University. Dwight began his working life at the family business, Central Paints and Supplies, alongside his father and brother.
He later built a dedicated career as a correctional officer at Indiana State Prison, beginning in January 1998 and serving with commitment and pride until his passing.
Dwight was formerly married to Myra Hogan-Surney. From this union, they were blessed with a beautiful daughter, Alysia Shantel Surney.
Butch had a deep love for playing the drums, listening to music, and collecting movies, cars, and action figures. He was a soft-spoken and humble man who did not speak much unless he knew you well—then he would talk endlessly. He was known for his quiet strength, kind heart, and gentle spirit.
He was preceded in death by his father, Charles Surney, and his maternal and paternal grandparents.
He entered eternal rest on Wednesday, February 18, 2026.
Dwight leaves to cherish his memory his daughter, Alysia S. Surney; his grandson, Brandon R. Adams Jr.; his mother, Gertrude M. Surney; his twin brother, Dwayne V. Surney; aunts; uncles; and a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.
