      Dwayne lived myself and Chase for about a month, around 6 months ago. Our condolences for you and family. What was the cause of death? 😢

  • Antoine “AJ” Jones Posted December 2, 2019 11:54 AM

    In life, we meet people and we also lose touch. Over the years, some how, we were able to keep up pretenses while I bounced all over the country. I am so glad that I visited you 3 weekends ago, my heart is heavy knowing that I didn’t stay as long as I wanted because of other engagements. I am missing you already so very much, but I know that God has got you and the pains you were feeling are no more. I never told you to your face, but I am sure you know that I love you very much. When you see my little sister Maria, she is another blessed heart to be around . . . God be with all of the family, gone too soon, but gone for good reason.

    May you spirit be at peace Mr. Godwin. To those of you left behind, may you find peace in this troubling time. Dwayne and I did not know each other, but we shared a bond in World of Warcraft, and we are a tight knit community that cares about each other. Our primary concern is of acceptance and love. For Azeroth!

    There has only been two times I got to spend quality time with you in your life. The first time was June of 1976. Such a happy little boy you were. The second time was summer of 1999 and you were all grown up. I’ll cherish those moments. Rest in Peace

  • Brett J. Barger Posted October 9, 2020 12:19 AM

    To my ex husband and best friend- I will always have a place in my heart for you. I only remember the great times we had together. I’m sorry I am just now finding out about your passing, but I will truly miss you. I will always love you. God bless.
