On August 20th, 2017 my dear uncle Dwayne suddenly and tragically passed away at the age of 57. He was a great big man with an even bigger heart. A true Renaissance man of invention, creation, and artistry. He was such a bright and generous soul that will be missed by many. The vast landscape of the Flint Hills feels evermore so empty without his being, his touch, or his contagious laugh.

Grieving over a loved one is one of the most difficult things that life has in store. A sacred pain.
