He was united in marriage to Carolyn (Pitt) Bernicky on October 20, 1984, she survives his passing.
Dwayne was always a self-employed person at heart. Prior to getting into the trucking business, he worked at G & G Land Limited in Williamsburg until 1984 when they closed. He had a hay crew or 2 for many years and he bought and sold cars to rebuild. His biggest adventure was owning and operating Bernicky Farms, where at one time he had five semis on the road.
He worked for several trucking companies including Poole, Bell Truck Rental, Next Day Motor Freight, and Arkansas Freightways, that eventually became Fed-Ex Freight. The trucking company he was most proud of was his own business, Bernicky Farms LLC, hauling cattle.
Dwayne loved Cardinal's Baseball and Kansas City Chief's Football. He was an avid collector over the years. The most important thing he collected was friends.
