I knew Dwayne through the singles group of Messiah Lutheran Church, as I have been a member of Messiah since May 1994.  May his family and friends be comforted in their grief and have many happy memories  to brighten each  day.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.
 In God's Love, Joyce Dayton

From Larry Smith:  I am so sorry for this worlds loss of Dwayne. He was a dear dear friend of my brother Jerry and I am glad I knew him . I thought I  would share a story ::  Back in the eighty’s, Jerry got married on a snowy day in February in Glorieta NewMexico. Dwayne and I made plans to go snow-Skiing the day after the wedding . As it turned out, we got there too late to attend the Ski lessons for the morning and it would be several hours before another class would form. I had personally only been skiing only once before and  had ski lessons 2 years before. Dwayne had not skied before. I went with Dwayne to the “bunny slopes” and managed to to tell Dwayne what I remembered hearing during lessons two years previous. I was a poor skier and wasn’t able to demonstrate technique. A short time later Dwayne was swooshing downhill on the skis. He succeeded, not because of my attempt to teach, but because of his builtin ability to studiously listen, then apply ,  and also because of his natural physical ability. I have told the story, many times, that I taught someone to Snow-Ski.

Precious memories of Dwayne from the Metroplex Luthersn Singles (MLS) group.  Thoughts and prayers are with his family and all us friends.  The MLS group is getting bigger and bigger in heaven.  In God's time there will be a joyful reunion above.  I wish I could have been at the service, but I am in Wis.  Would love a copy of the service.

My thoughts and some of the beautiful memories of my good Texas frien (friend always) are below  now being laid to rest in Texas. Rest high on that mountain Dwayne in the stars   Your work is done here on earth .  Save me that star gazing seat you hear

Dwayne was very much like Charlie Kirk. His faith was unapproachable.   I learned so much from him,.  He loved to listen to people and would debate with words of love.   He was such a good friend to many of us .  He loved his country and because he loved it, he taught English as a second language to those who truly came here to learn about our country and the language even if it was that beautiful Southern drawl that I loved so much.  I’d tease him about it and he just would give that grin. Enough said.    He took me out to his ranch in West Texas and would wake me several times in the night to go out to view the night skies,  it was sooo dark and when you looked up and saw the millions of stars it was breathtaking, the stars lighting the entrance to Heaven.  He now is viewing them from the other side and some day I will be doing the same standing by him.  He was very patient when I wanted to do some things like riding on top of the bull in Ft Worth lol and at the rodeos we would go in the pen with the little ones and get butted by them lol.  We went in the goat pens and he would laugh when the goats kept butting me.   When at the ranch his dad was showing me the calves and told me to be careful with this young one. He might hurt you and I said how do you know if it’s a he thinking they had to be older and his dad laughed so hard and winked at Dwayne who just grinned shook his head and walked away. I was so embarrassed.  Showing my son and his wife downtown Dalllas said it was a privilege for him especially the history part   Every time he called me would ask about my children.  I can’t say enough about our friendship. That gentle strength Dwayne possessed was truly a gift from God. I am so dearly going to miss him

Dwayne is/was a dear close friend of mine when I lived in Texas for a few years we shared numerous times together that will always be etched in my heart    I learned so much from Dwayne, the beautiful gift of listening to tothers.   His patience was beyond my comprehension as he showed me numerous times.   I missed his last phone call and I pray he knows I have been thinking about him. Rest high on that mountain, Dwayne your work on earth is done and what a beautiful legacy that was.  Love you my dear, keep a spot for me in Heaven. We can look at those stars from a different angle. ❤️❤️ God bless
