We all loved Dwaine so much. We will be praying for all his family and friends.
Dwaine fought so hard because he did not want to leave his loved ones. He was deeply committed to making the lives of others better, a man who valued being able to protect and provide. His zest for life was a joy. But most of all, no matter how difficult things became, his faith and commitment to prayer for others and for the cancer challenge never wavered. I know he would like us all to lean into that prayer and faith even as we grieve. Donna
