Family and friends are invited to celebrate his life on Saturday, January 17, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. at West Cobb Funeral Home and Crematory in Marietta.

Whether riding their motorcycle or taking road trips in their Jeep, they embraced every adventure side by side. Dewayne was also a passionate motorsports enthusiast and an avid NASCAR fan. At home, he could often be found cheering on the Braves, the Falcons, and the Georgia Bulldogs, or relaxing with music.

He is survived by his brother, Richard (Kathy) Norman of Dallas, GA; brother‑in‑law, Jamey (Bobbie) Marler; nephews, David Gray, Wesley Norman, and Colin Marler; and nieces, Crystal Gray and Emma Harting.
