Dwayne was a proud farmer and worked for over 20 years with Cornet Bridge Company. Dwayne was a hard-working, humble man that enjoyed the simple things in life.

He enjoyed his time on earth by growing his love for Tractors, Drag Racing and Classic Cars. He was a Chevrolet, Massey Ferguson and Allis-Chalmers tractor man. He was lucky enough to have a few of those in his own collection over the years. You could find him spring, summer and fall at the drag strip, rod run or traveling to tractor shows and tractor pulls with his family.
