I lived down the road from dewayne, he was a year behind me in school in Jacksonville. We lived in a community called New Hope. . Dewayne and I hauled hay together and he was a real good guy. Just heard about this and I’m so sorry for his family. We lost touch after high school but it sure looks like he had a wonderful life. Most of all, I’m so glad he knew The Lord. Rest in peace, Dewayne.
Lisa & Landon,
There are simply no words to let you know how very sorry we are for your loss. Although I only had the pleasure of meeting Dewayne a few times I know that he was a special man. Landon, he was so excited about the surprise engagement and upcoming wedding. He certainly captured my heart for simply being so happy for that special time in your lives. May you all find peace in this heartbreak and look forward to those moments he would have loved to have been a part of. With much love, Amber Nichols, Joy Minix & the entire Vintage Oaks Ranch Family
Lisa, you and your family are in our prayers. May God bless you all with the peace that Dewayne is in his loving arms.

Lisa and family, we are so sorry for your loss! We only met Dewayne once or twice but we feel like we knew him since his number 1 fan, his SIL Cathy, talked about him and was so proud of him and his love for Jesus! He is with Jesus now and we look forward to meeting him again in Heaven. We will pray for you all that God will fill the hole in your hearts with His peace and the power to keep on keeping on living for Jesus. One thing for sure, HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT! We love you all!

To the Winn family, from the Finley family , may our Divine God comfort you all with his love and his peace that pass all understanding. My name is Davis Finley Jr I worked Dewayne Winn at the Reliable Insurance company for many years. May email is finley42j@yahoo.com
To Lisa and family, I sure hated to hear this happened. Dewayne was one tough dude, even at a young age. I meet him and became friends with him at the sale barn when I was 11. He,David Bateman , David Ivy, and a few others always kept me going. We had a blast. Then we hit the party years and had some wild old times. Haven’t seen y’all in years but want you to know I’m thinking bout y’all at this time. Sorry for your loss.
Lisa,
I am very sorry to hear about DeWayne, you guys were both very special to me growing up. Praying for you and your family during this time.
Lisa, and Family, I’m sorry for your loss and there are just no words that can help your hearts heal from this. I know your pain, and its going to be hard, but just remember God has a plan for all of us and we will see our sweet loves again one day. He might can take the ones we love from us but he can not take our memories, they will last forever. Big hugs to all of you from Me, Jamie and Kyle. Praying for peace in your hearts and understanding.
Lisa, Dustin, and Landon,
Words cannot express the sadness and sorrow that I feel for you at this time. Lisa, as you know, DeWayne and I go back a long ways. I guess you could say that he was my brother from a another mother. We had a lot of great times and he was a wonderful man, husband, father, uncle, and grandfather. May god be with each of you during this time of need because I know DeWayne is now walking with the Lord. The Bell Family will be praying for you and may god bless each of you.
Winn family,
May you find comfort and peace in this difficult time. Dewayne was a great man who touched more lives than you may ever know. He will truly be missed.
