He had a positive attitude and was always helping other people. He enjoyed fishing, snowmobiling, and racing. He was a big fan of NASCAR and loved watching and helping his son, Brett, at the stock car races. He always hosted Christmas at his house and was ready to serve his famous ‘lil whiskey smokies. He looked forward to getting together with his neighborhood coffee club and in his retirement, he enjoyed woodworking and building furniture. Dwayne was very thoughtful, especially when it came to sending greeting cards to others. He would always find the right card for the occasion, and he never missed a birthday. Dwayne’s family was his priority as he loved spending time following his grandchildren and great grandchildren’s activities. All around, he was a guy to look up to.
