Met working at Burger King, became instant friends. Forever will I carry you in my heart and memories. You will be terribly missed. The world became a little dimmer, with you being gone. At least you are without pain now, and can party on with Christina, your dad, and your brothers at arms you lost along the way. I will always love you. Condolences to the family, y'all are in my prayers.

Dear Mrs.Woods, Doug, Daryll, Barb and Christopher, I wanted to tell you all how sorry I was to hear about Dwayne. I was shocked to say the least. When I look back now I realize how fortunate I was to have grown up in our neighborhood. I have so many memories from the time we were kids and then became teenagers. Dwayne was a big part of my life for that. I was very blessed to have known you all and I would like to say thank you. I will pray for you all a speedy healing and I will take comfort in knowing Dwayne is watching over us as he always did with the neighborhood. Love Andy Porter Fort Myers, Florida.

To the entire Woods family, I was shocked to hear of Dwayne's passing and offer my condolences. We grew up together in the old neighborhood and spent a lot of time playing baseball and basketball. I can remember that and the conversations we used to have like it was yesterday even though I haven't seen him for a long time. I pray that God will be with you and give you strength and comfort during your time of loss and sorrow as Dwayne will be missed. May he rest in peace.
