My deepest sympathy to you, Ann and also to Dewayne's parents Bonnie and Chuck. You and Dewayne were our favorite neighbors on Massachusetts St. in Loveland, CO. I loved the picture of him clearing snow off of everyone's sidewalks during a snowstorm ! I loved the video also, and the music was perfect .... what wonderful memories you have. May God Bless you during this very sad time. May Dewayne rest in peace..... Love to you both, Bonnie

My deepest sympathies are with each of you, Bonnie, Chuck, & Ann. The video is a wonderful tribute, I obviously cried and laughed as I was watching it. DeWayne was a thoughtful, kind and to be honest an all around "Good Guy" he was so friendly to interact with. I recall him dropping a few thank you notes or cards in my drop box just because I gave him a place to park his vehicle. Chuck & Bonnie lived in our neighborhood for over 20 years. l cherish every moment I was blessed with their company, they stood by my side through the death of my beloved husband. My heartfelt prayers, and thoughts are with them, I wished I could be there to hug and help comfort them as they did me. Please know I am standing beside you in spirit! My heart breaks for the pain that DeWaynes family feels. My Love Always and Forever, Delores

You will be missed. You taught me alot when it came to researching information for work. I will forever be grateful. My fondest memory is when I told him he reminded me of Bam Bam. He came right back saying I reminded him of Fred Flintstone. RIP.

DeWayne was a great person. We worked together at AB while he was doing SOPs and training. He also played on the golf league, and it never failed when I was playing against him, it would get stormy... DeWayne had a heart of gold. To his family and friends, please accept my deepest sympathies. Rest In Peace DeWayne.

My neighbor DeWayne Brunk will be remembered forever in our heart. He truly was a great neighbor, helpful, kind, and funny, not only to me and my wife but to all his neighbors. It makes me sick to lose such a friend at such a young age. Dewayne left his amazingly positive imprint on the world. To his wife Ann and his parents Bonnie and Chuck we wish you the very best. God Bless!

To Bonnie & Charles and all DeWayne's family, I was saddened to learn of DeWayne's passing. He and my son Rod were friends and classmates (their birthdays were only two days apart). DeWayne was a fine person as his parents as I remember all very well. God Bless All of You. Freda, Mesa, AZ

Maggie and I were deeply saddened to hear of our friend DeWayne's passing. DeWayne was our neighbor, our friend and a genuine "good guy". We instantly liked him the first day we met him in Fairfield Glade. We were all new to the Glade and establishing new friendships was our main goal. We were able to share many meals, game nights, golf games and street conversations about life on Wexford Lane and the world in general. Additionally, I had the opportunity of going fishing with DeWayne in Canada and South Dakota. You learn a lot about a person's beliefs and values when you are in a boat for eight hours. DeWayne impressed me as someone who felt strongly about his family and his core values. Maggie and I went on a long cruise to Tahiti with Ann and DeWayne. When you spend 30 days on a ship with friends our time provided many opportunities for laughs, memories, and reasons to be optimistic about life. DeWayne was an individual who was always looking for something better out of life. Maggie and I are going to miss DeWayne. I'm sure he is showing St. Peter what the best lures for northern pike fishing are or how to play the game of Sequence. We look forward to seeing him again someday.

A terrible loss! He was a high school friend and was such a part of the Class of 1980. Like most, we all went our separate ways, but his life has always been and will forever be intertwined with mine others in that class. He joins a short list of our classmates who have left us much too soon. May that reunion with them be sweet in eternity my friend! Until we meet in the place where there is no pain! My condolences to his family, especially Bonnie and Charlie, who loved him to the moon. Sending our thoughts and prayers to all of you who loved our dear, sweet, oompy.
