Dawayne was a very happy person and we would like this to be a day to honor him for the person he was. We would like for anyone that has a story or something they just want to share about Dawaye to do so, whether you send it to the family, comment on the facebook live for it to be shared, or in person. We are planning a picture slideshow of his life. If you have any pictures of Dawayne that you would like to share, we would love to see them. You can send them to Kristi Hanna - Badley or Karen Anderson on messenger on facebook. We are going to have a "Keystone" toast for anyone that would like to join, also whether you do it in the comfort of your own home while joining on facebook live, or in person. We would like this to be a joyous occasion as we know Dawayne would want it to be. Please dress in comfortable clothes because this is a Ranch style celebration. Feel free to wear a mask if you are more comfortable doing so. Thank you again for all the prayers and kind words. They meant the world to his kids and myself.
