Dwayne worked for the City of Lompoc Water Distribution for 19 years. He will be well remembered for his strong work ethic, his kindness, his willingness to help others without hesitation, his dedication and his commitment to his job, his service to the community, and many barbeques.

Dwayne was one lovable person. He was always there when you needed him and whatever you needed him for. He would give you the shirt off his back if you asked him. That was just the way he was. He loved to go fishing, and he went every chance he got. He loved his family, and he made sure they were well taken care of at all times. If you needed something, you just needed to ask Dwayne and he either had it or would get it for you.

Dwayne was an avid fisherman and enjoyed spending time on the open seas with friends and family. The true outdoorsman, Dwayne also enjoyed hunting and camping. Dwayne served in the United States Air Force and Air National Guard. He was a member of American GI Forum Post 125.
