Brother Dewayne meant so much to me. He was a mentor to me in my teenage years. I'm so grateful to him and to God for how Brother Dewayne served us at FBC of Polk City. I was in the youth group and Brother Dewayne was our Youth Pastor. He shared the Gospel clearly, called us to commitment and shared such great wisdom with all of us - doing it all in such a kind, loving way, while also being clear about what God's Word teaches (not holding anything back). He also encouraged us to come talk with him in his office whenever we needed. I took him up on that several times. He encouraged me so much. He was the one that got me hooked onto Christmas Contemporary Music (as he encouraged me to shift to listening to this instead of secular music; DC Talk was the biggest hook and to this day Toby Mac is still my favorite, but Philips, Craig, and Dean and many others are fantastic also). Brother Dewayne did several Bible studies with me and others who took him up on the offer. He discipled me. He gave us many ministry opportunities. One of my favorite memories is the musical tour he took us on (along with Miss Sue and several other chaperones), Michael W. Smith's The Big Picture: so much fun! He was such a great mentor. I look forward to spending time with him again in Heaven! What a man of God! I'm also so grateful for his wife, Miss Sue and all she has done with me, many other youth and kids, and all she continues to do in the ministry. What an inspiring couple, serving God faithfully together! I am praying for Miss Sue, Libby, and Matt at this time. Love you all! I am so sorry for your loss of this precious man of God. With prayers, David Nigh
