DeWayne Little of Statham, GA passed away at his home surrounded by loved ones on September 12, 2023. DeWayne was born at Kennestone Hospital April 4, 1975. He is preceded in passing by his father, Joe Edwards. He is survived by his daughters, Cheyanne and Addison Little; mother, Karen Edwards; sisters: April (Clint) Musgrove, Tiffany (Adam) Sharpe, Felicia Edwards and Kimberly Mincey; a host of nieces and nephews; 4 great nieces and 1 great nephew; and his 2 dogs, Cane and Nancy.
DeWayne had a passion for figuring out how things worked. At a young age, working alongside his father, he fell in love with working on cars. Daddy and DeWayne spent hours upon hours in the garage together which ultimately started DeWayne’s career as a mechanic. DeWayne carried on his dad’s passion of working on cars and his career spanned over 30 years. He loved to work hard, he was smart and he loved sharing his passion for cars with others. He was a "modern day MacGyver."
DeWayne loved his family and friends deeply and unconditionally. Especially his girls Cheyanne and Addison. Although we will be left with a void in our hearts, we take solace in knowing he is no longer suffering and has been reunited with our dad.
The visitation for family and friends will be held at Smith Funeral Home on Saturday, September 16 from 2:00 pm until 4:00 pm. A Celebration of Life will follow at 4:00 pm in Smith Memory Chapel. Logan Pratt, Eddie Lee, Jason Jones, Mario Peters, Brandon Fitzpatrick, Wesley Cannon, Justin Elder, Michael Shelton and Matt "Jojo" Lee will serve as honorary pallbearers.
In lieu of flowers the family request you give a donation to any cancer foundation in DeWayne’s memory.
