My twin sister Karen Schmidt and myself went to Verdugo Hills High with Dwayne. We are saddened by his passing. He was much to young to leave this earth. We have enjoyed reading his life story and seeing all of the pictures of Dwayne's loved ones. Our heart felt sympathy to his family and friends and of course his animals.

some friends you meet along the way
i have a true friend who could not stay

my true friend no matter how far apart
DJ you will always be in my heart

this true friend will be missed
nearly two decades of memories to reminisce

final thoughts in my grief
bring me feelings of relief
your conflicts now resolved
by Him you have been absolved

Until we meet again
You are forever my true friend



My sincerest, heart-felt condolences to Sharon (mom), Deb (wife), David (brother) & Family.

Dwayne was a kind soul and always had a big hug whenever I saw him. He served as my SDC Rep for many years and was always a pleasure to work with and he was always available whenever he was needed. I am deeply saddened and send love and prayers to his family as well as his SDC colleagues. Dwayne will truly be missed.

Dwayne was a kind soul, always cracking a joke. His big personality was one I looked forward to encountering while traveling for business. I am honored to have known him. Prayers for his friends and family.

My prayers are with you today, I have only met Dwayne a few times and on those few occasion we would end up talking about football and crack jokes about each others teams. Celebrate life everyday! Rest in Peace DJ.

Dwayne remember the blizzard, how you came over to the house. The drive the night before on the way back slipping and sliding. Never missed a chance to kick the Stealer's butt. I could go on but I will never forget.
Not a bad word could ever be said or was ever said between us. Tells a lot. You are not gone or will ever be forgotten.

We have lost a good friend this week but in my heart Dwayne Johnson "The Pebble" will always live on. We all got to use that corny joke with Dwayne at every SDC meeting or gathering. It will never be used again the same way without his smile and look. Long live "The Pebble" and his memories.

Dearest Deb and the Johnson family,

I haven't been able to think of the words to say, because none seem appropriate. Bryan and I love you and Dwayne and he will be sorely missed. I hope that you are able to find some comfort during this tough time and are able to remember the good times spent together. I will hold the fond memories of the times we spent together close to my heart.

Love,

I've only known Dwayne for a few years but from the first conversation it was clear that his character was honorable, pure and kind. He always had a kind word and was the consummate professional. I am heartbroken for you and have included him in my daily prayers. I heard a quote last night that I believe fits Dwayne "when given the choice to be right, or to be kind, always pick kind"...
My sincere condolence to you all.
