Dewayne was a graduate of Greenwood High School in Greenwood, Arkansas. He spent his entire professional career in sales with most of those years spent in automotive sales. Throughout his life, he enjoyed a variety of sports including golfing, bowling, swimming, and bicycling. He loved being outside and staying active, but most importantly he loved God.
His favorite activity was riding his bicycle, and in his final moments that is exactly what he was doing. He died doing what he loved as he was heading home to his family that he loved so very much. His boys were his pride and joy. The world is a little less bright without him in it. He will be missed so greatly by those that knew and loved him.
