Dwayne Bruce Peeples

I'm very late learning of this sad news. Dwayne and I were great friends from junior high through our junior year of high school at Renton. We lost touch when my family moved to Anchorage in 1968 (I'm sorry to say). We exchanged emails a few times since, but never connected. He was one of my favorite people, and a great friend way back in our formative years. RIP my friend.

I have many acquaintances and am also blessed with a small circle of truly good friends. We worked together for many years and Dwayne was a loyal friend and brother. He introduced me to the phrase "burn the boats". Basically, if we take this path there is no going back. We burned a fleet of boats, took a few bumps and bruises, accomplished some good things and we had many adventures! He was a brother. We also talked of family and what was important. Dwayne loved his family. RIP brother....

I met Dwayne when we were freshmen at Washington State University & that was the beginning of a 54 year friendship. Even though we were thousands of miles apart we maintained contact by phone & email. He move to Ketchikan & I loved hearing his stories about Alaska. Little did I know that I would end up in various cities in Alaska in 1985, eventually ending up in Anchorage. By then Dwayne was in Juneau & he traveled frequently to Anchorage. It was wonderful to visit with him personally every...

Dwayne was a good man to work with during our mutual employment at the Department of Health and Social Service and our friendly ways continued long after employment. We often visited on our ferry rides to and from Gustavus; it was always nice to see him and exchange a long hello. RIP, Dwayne.
