My condolences to Dwayne's daughter & family. We first met Dwayne ABOUT 2008-09 when he arrived at his mother's home in Hemet Ca. His mother and I were neighbors and let's just say when he returned home from an extended stay, he was joyful outgoing ready to start life a pleasure to be around and always up for an adventure. He wanted to know about the free world and find his place in it, he wanted to know about what was in and what was out.
We employed him for a short while, and he was slowly getting the hang of it. He enjoyed the responsibilities he was given and that hard earned green pay on pay day. Dwyane made all attempts at making a better life for himself and always trying to win Alexis's attention. (difficult situation) but his goal was to do life on life's terms. Dwayne and my husband had a connection we were his white three amigos he called us. We went, we did, we saw, and we did everything in our power to love Dwayne unconditionally and no matter which side of the fence we all fell, we clothed the boy, we fed the guy, and we provided an unconditional place to lie his head when he felt he needed to. To really know Dwayne was to accept all good and not so good. To never keep him from being the spirit he had burning inside. If you fit in his ride and die world you knew you were in and he would go to the ends of the earth. he would go through it all with you and never complain.
He joked and you could never know serious or not unless you could look into the depth of his soul.
Hubby, Dwayne and I would adventure out into the world together and you never knew what kind of friends we would be that day. Family, serious, goofy, or on a mission to discover. Nights of dinner with family the two of them with purses in hand go skipping arm n arm out the doors of Applebee's restaurant, laughing to the gut! or those pulled up white as white socks from the hood design days. Camping and trying to keep those shoes as clean as when they came from the showroom floor! ahahah Or that stupid ass tongue he split thinking it was cool! Or hubby and him in the wilderness on sand rail going 80 miles an hour and hit the top of a cliff and dangle. and have to come back to camp to change shorts... LMAO or all the google doodle days creating and making the most of his talent, Pictures his artwork always for days!Folder after folder napkin after napkin and all the body tats just because he did daily for his sanity.
WE WONT GO TO HIS WOMAN COLLECTION!! One day on one day off drove us crazy.
Business was business and play rockhounding adventuring and trying to live life right. He had those who loved him and hated him, and I will never believe that his passing was that of his own doing KNOW THAT WORLD!I talked to him the night before made plans for December never did, he lead on he was in that state of mind! No reason to coward out! RIP our rhino!
We are emotionally devasted as many are. DWAYNE you are missed so so so much! To know him, loved him, AND we NEVER Got TO BUSY for that phone call, and never did we TURN our BACK or shut the door we he knows!
To those who grieve the loss our condolences we share our grief and emptiness with you! This is so unreal untrue and unanswered questions. Leaves us missing our sweet cheeks onion bun times and but keeping our memories forever. Unbelievable, an empty place of our unique friendship a brotherhood that will never be forgotten or replaced, until we see you again D,,,
