17 Jun 2026Dewayne was one of my most favorite people. He always let me sit next to him at family events and his greetings were always heartfelt and full of love. My regards to his family and appreciation to God for allowing him to be a part of my life, even if it was only a few short years.

8 Jul 2026Dewayne and Alma are long-time friends that we met while living in Cut-n-Shoot/Conroe. Dewayne was a kind and gentle man that I proudly called a friend. We built and flew radio-controlled airplanes for several years after he retired from Michelin. We took an old Dodge van and outfitted it as a mobile workshop and transport for our planes and gear. Alma and Susie fondly christened the van the “Aircraft Carrier”. I will always remember his kindness and enthusiasm. Our deepest condolences to Alma and family. May you be blessed with comfort, strength, and peace today and always. Our love, Bill and Susie Skipwith.
