Dwayne was a farmer for the majority of his life but worked as a machinist and dabbled in real estate.  He was also a police officer in Brownfield from 1960 to 1963 and was a boxer in his childhood.  He loved singing gospel music, with his tenor voice, in the church choir.  He was a people person and very family oriented.  He retired in 1995.  He was a member of First Baptist Church in Tahoka for many years.
