Dwayne “Dwaynie Boy” Fields was born on February 13,1957 in New York, New York to the late Leroy Fields and Leola Shiver-Fields.
Dwayne grew up and went to school in the Bronx, a borough of New York City and graduated from William H. Taft High School in January of 1975 – six months ahead of schedule. Dwayne was very smart and he received numerous scholastic awards all throughout his school career. One unique thing about Dwayne was that at a very young age he was able to identify the make and model of all cars that would drive by, adults were amazed.
After high school Dwayne was employed at the New York Office of Sears, Roebuck and Co. He worked there until Sears moved all of their offices to Chicago in 1979. He was offered the opportunity to relocate to Chicago but he declined the offer.
In the summer of 1983 Dwayne met the love of his life, Grace Brown. They were united in holy matrimony on December 24,1983 and were together for 36 years until she departed this Earth. Dwayne’s hope is to be reunited with his wife in the resurrection.
Dwayne had the opportunity to work for companies such as Apple and Barnes & Noble. He was most recently employed as a school bus driver at STA in Collegeville, PA. The students appreciated Dwayne being their bus driver and expressed that appreciation in little handwritten notes.
Dwayne was an avid reader. His natural curiosity made him research, read, and study a variety of subjects such as Egyptology. He was a great sketch artist. He had a great love for cats and he had 2 beautiful calico fur babies.
