No written word could possibly beset this man we all knew and admired. Although my time with Dwaine was nothing in comparison to those who knew him well...I will always cherish the moments with Dwaine, a man that adored his family and had zeal for life. My most precious prayers and sympathy to all.

My condolences to the family of Dwaine.

I met Dwaine at a few places where we liked mingling--think, Dena´s/Mirage.

He was always dressed well and just an all out, pleasant person. We would have long conversations and he was sold proud of his family.

Whenever I was I town and saw him out, I instantly felt a warmth when I saw him. We would have such a great time.

He will be missed.

Sending my heartfelt and sincere condolences to the family of my dear friend, Dwaine. We attended Vincennes University together. Although Dwaine was a beat and a step off in dancing on the dance floor, he was a very well dressed young man on campus. Never saw him in a pair of jeans, either. Even until his passing. May his soul rest peacefully in Paradise.
