From the first grade to Senior year, I had a mad crush on Dewayne. After hearing of his passing and recovering from grief, I reflected on why was I so enamored? I loved the fact that Dewayne was smart and attractive, and in retrospect, it was mostly that he was such a nice person. He had a strong work ethic, which I admired. He was a great role model for his boys leading them to be successful.
In our high school Junior play, Dewayne and I played the two leading roles. He had to wear knickers, and he didn't care much for that, but he was well cast for the part, and was adorable. I somehow got a date with him to the Junior prom. :)
With all of this being said, Dewayne met his Deborah, and she was the love of his life. (40 years!!)
Dewayne will be missed, but I am happy he had such a wonderful life.
