This dream grew into a very large and well known Automotive Shop in the Oxnard, California area. After 17 years of business, in the year 2006, he decided it was time to pack up, return home and fully retire. Both in military and private business he always gave of himself, sharing knowledge, training, and giving his very best to all endeavors. Dwayne was a man full of life, a man with a rough exterior and a heart of gold. He enjoyed surrounding himself with close friends and family spending his free time enjoying life. He had a passion for fishing and hunting. He mastered the Bass Fishing Process, and was known to regularly catch and release 5-15 pound bass. He also became an avid deer hunter, hunting with a small group of 3-4 friends annually always filling his two tag limit. Dwayne was also a member of many veterans’ service and fraternal organizations. He was an active member and officer in American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Fleet Reserve Association. Also fraternal member of the Masons’, his first lodge being in Guam under the Grand Lodge of the Philippines, and later affiliated with Oxnard Lodge 341 in Oxnard under the Grand Lodge of California. He was also a member of Aloha Shrine Temple of Hawaii. Yet another small example of his big heart and willingness to give of himself.Funeral services will be conducted at 10:00 am, on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 at Rupp Funeral Home.
