Tara, Kai and family:  Dwayne certainly was a very nice man. Sending my sincere sympathies. Take care. 

To the little brother i never had from the big brother you never had. You gave no one a last farewell,Nor ever said good-bye.You were gone before we knew it,And only god knows why.A million times we will miss you.A million times we will cry.If love alone could have saved you,You never would have died.In life we loved you dearly.In death we love you still.In our hearts you hold a place,No one else can fill.It broke our hearts to lose you,but you didn't go alone,For part of us went with you,The day God took you home.We will meet again someday,I know in a better place.I thank God He made you my brother while you were here on earth. Love always Darren & Lisa .xoxoxo

Hi Dwayne I first met you in 2017 when I joined the NSUPE Executive Council and then you took a break from it for a few years and rejoined it in 2021 and I was happy to reconnect with you and was looking forward to all the things you could accomplish as NSUPE Vice-President.  I was shocked to hear of your passing at the age of 47!  Will miss you buddy!

Tara , Kai & family,
I am so saddened by the loss of Dwayne.  He was so easy going and friendly, it was if I’ve always known him. I think it is because he accepted everyone just as they are without changing one thing. We need more  of that in this world. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy at this time. Praying for love and light to embrace you.

There are no words to express our sadness for your great loss. May knowing how much we care help ease your pain.

I am at a loss for words. I still can’t believe that I won’t be able to text or pick up the phone to chat about life in general.
Dwayne was a friend, a mentor, and was a valued colleague. We shared many laughs and conversation, and was always there when I needed him.
Life can take a turn when we least expect it and life definitely took a turn in our lives, our workplace, and the threads of friendship Dwayne shared with so many.
Dwayne always said not to be afraid of asking for help, or say what was on our mind.He believed that everyone had something to bring or offer and everyone has value. And he is 100% right and I will cherish every bit of him.

My deepest condolences & comfort to Tara,Kai,&Samantha
Extended family&friends

Rest easy Dwayne


I met Dwayne through my work with NSUPE Local 14, at the convention a few times. He was a really nice guy and I was sad to hear of his passing. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

My heart goes out to Tara, Kai and Samantha. You are loved and will forever be loved - hold each each close. Dwayne was a kind and faithful supporter of Kai's basketball games, driving the team to the many practices, games and tournaments.  I remember a quiet and kind smile that reflected a committed and faithful father. Our sincere condolences to the whole family. You are in our hearts.

So sorry for your Loss. Thoughts, Prayers , Love and Hugs to you all at this time and always. May he forever R.I.P. 



I cannot believe this. I remember working with Dwayne at Conway Workshop. He was always so pleasant and helpful. Thinking of Tara and all the rest of the family. 

Tara and girls
I am so sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed.



I can’t believe that I am reading this, going to miss you over at the woodsmen s. We always had a old chat


 R.I.P dear cousin until we meet again

I met Dwayne when I started working at Conway Workshop years ago, its also where I met Tara. Dwayne was such a wonderful person, so easy to like, kind to everyone he met. He was kind to me. I became fast friends with Tara, she as well is such a loveable, sweet and kind person. Tara and Dwayne, when they started dating, you could see how in love they were with each other, a love that sustained throughout the years. Dwayne's passing is indeed a tragedy. Tara and Kai, our hearts are breaking for you both. How lucky we are to have known such a wonderful person.

So many memories to share.. the most important one is when he drove us to Halifax in one of the worst winter storms of 2021 so we could be at my dad's side after his heart attack. Dwayne we will miss you so much, I'll be sure to raise a glass in your memory once it's warm enough to sit outside by the fire. Rest easy brother in law/friend

My deepest sympathy to Tara, Samantha, and Kai, and to all of the family. Dwayne was a kind man and always had such a pleasant smile. He will be sadly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

My deepest sympathy to Tara, Samantha, and Kai, and to all of the family. Dwayne was a very pleasant, likable person and will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing hi.
