I had the pleasure of knowing DeWayne when he served as a volunteer for the court systems in Cowlitz County. He was always cheerful and great to work with. My condolences to the family.

DeWayne, such a kind a good man and friend to me and my children Beverly and Allan Snider, when we moved to Longview/Kelso area. He and his family were great, taking my son hunting, bringing by a Christmas tree, etc. Will always have wonderful memories of our families sharing time together. May God provide comfort to your family and rest in peace my friend.
