Dwan was the heart of a boisterous family of eight. He was a confidante, a protector, a friend. His younger brother, awestruck by his wisdom, sought his counsel, always finding solace in his brother’s patient ear. He adored his parents. His father was a tireless worker whose dedication to family instilled in him a strong work ethic and a desire to provide. His mother, though a constant source of advice, always respected his own path, even as her heart ached with worry. 

He made his own choices, and though she knows it was God who ultimately called him home, the ache of his absence is a constant, a love that transcends even death. He was a brother, a son, an uncle, a friend. His life, though tragically short, was a tapestry woven with threads of love, laughter, and unwavering loyalty. He will forever be missed.
