graduated from Blue Eye High School and remained a lifelong resident of the community he

loved. Throughout his life, Dewayne proudly worked for and supported many local

businesses. He especially cherished his time at Powers Farm, where he was welcomed and

loved like family.

Dewayne was an avid hunter and fisherman who felt most at home in the great outdoors.

He spent countless hours searching for morel mushrooms, tending his garden, and raising

chickens. He appreciated life’s simple pleasures and especially enjoyed sharing those

experiences with the people he loved.

his kind heart, friendly nature, and willingness to help anyone in need. He treasured time

spent with family and friends and brought laughter, and friendship wherever he went.

His greatest pride and joy was his daughter, Audrey, whom he loved dearly. When Audrey

married Alex, Dewayne gained not only a son but also a great friend. The two shared a love

of hunting and the outdoors and had a very special bond.

During the final year of his life, Dewayne found tremendous joy in being a Pops. He

cherished every moment spent loving on his granddaughter, Wrenley, who brought him

endless happiness.
