    Dewain is my cousin and he will be missed. I have so many memories of Dewain, my sister and I when we were kids playing on our grandparents farm. We used to pretend we were cooking using weeds and things from the farm. The last time we talked he told me about wonderful meals he prepared for his family. He was a few years older than me & I always looked up to him. He always had a great sense of humor and was so kind.
