Dreyton was so special to so many people. He had a smile that would catch anyone’s heart. Dreyton was a kindhearted soul that enjoyed encouraging and lifting up others. He will be remembered by everyone that knew him as a free spirit who never wanted to grow up and his memory will remain as forever young.

Dreyton enjoyed surfing, skateboarding and gaming. He was well known to never turn down a dare. Possessing so much natural artistic talent, Dreyton had a passion for music and loved playing the drums. He enjoyed the outdoors, and he helped out with the family business, G & M Interiors and Nature Works Landscaping.

So many characteristics made Dreyton the loveable guy he was. He didn’t care to wear shoes unless he absolutely had to and he was the only guy that could pull off a buzz cut, long hair, or a man bun. He was so patient and kind with kids, especially his nieces and nephew. He thought he was Spider-Man as a kid, and you also never had to worry about him leaving any leftovers at the dinner table. Dreyton will forever be missed by all who knew him, and he will always remain in our hearts as our Drey-Bay.

A celebration of Life will be held at a later date by the Jones family.

Lee Funeral Home and Crematory of Little River is serving the family.
