*A Loving Son and Devoted Friend*
Dwayne was a loving son, a brilliant mind, and a compassionate soul. He left this world far too soon, but not without leaving a lasting mark on all who knew him.
Dwayne was known for his extraordinary intelligence, unwavering belief in others and for being a cherished friend. He inspired countless people to dream bigger and believe that anything was possible. Whether through heartfelt conversations or quick-witted humor, he had a rare gift for making people feel seen, valued, and encouraged.
Dwayne was a devoted and loving son. His bond with his mother was deep and unwavering. Their connection was the source of his strength. His love for his mother and father was constant and profound, a testament to the depth of his heart.
A lifelong lover of sports and video games, Dwayne found joy in both competition and connection. He built a family of friends spanning childhood, work, and online communities-each drawn to his warmth, loyalty, and laughter.
He leaves behind his beloved mother Barbara Mauney, his father Raymond C. Lynch, aunts Gwynne Mauney and Karen Mauney, his uncle David Lynch and his many dear cousins. Dwayne's legacy lives on in the memories shared, the lives uplifted by his encouragement, and the friendships that will forever carry his light forward. He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
