I just heard about Dewayne's passing. We were roommates at Radford and had many adventures during those times and years after, especially in songwriting and music, hoping we would create a one-hit wonder someday. He had a heart of gold. Wish I got to see you one last time to reminisce and laugh. Rest easy, my friend.
