yes, Kevin, Lois, Mary and I are devastated along with thousands of others. aside from his being a long-time friend, in these days and times I can't think of a better bass player. he was so sensitive, knowledgeable, prolific and was only becoming better. he was writing his butt off as well. he actually posted a very poignant message on Christmas Eve on FB, filled with love and gratitude.
if you can, please contribute to a fund for his wife, Wendy at www.fundly.com, as bluesoul has posted above. Aside from his wife, Dwayne leaves his beloved 7 year-old son, Quinn. Wendy could really use our help as Dwayne was the only bread-winner in the family these past years.
