Dwayne was known as a one of a kind, the best of all time master chef and French fry specialist. His nieces and nephews could always benefit from a good ole “Uncle Chucky” original meal. He was always willing no matter the time of day or night to provide a hot home cooked meal for his family.

He would make sure you had a gourmet plate and a place to rest your head. Dwayne spent most of his life caring for his family. He was known for his quiet yet observant demeanor, and his loving, caring, and humble spirit. Although quiet in nature, he never met a stranger. He was the type of man that would give you the shirt off his back. He loved spending time with his family, specifically taking care of his mother, his pride and joy.

He adored his nieces and nephews, always providing laughs as a natural jokester. “Right or Wrong?!” He also enjoyed watching professional football/basketball games and listening to and watching music videos. His first and only granddaughter Daschlyn Flowers was born on St. Patrick’s Day in 2017. He called her “Lucky” and visited her daily during her stay in the NICU. She stole his heart.
