Dwayne Edward Witty, Sr., age 88, passed away Wednesday, November 17,
2021, in Bullhead City, Arizona. He was born in Sentinel, Oklahoma on
May 1, 1933.

His family then moved to California to give his family a brighter
future. He graduated from San Pedro High School where he met the love of
his life, Ethel Oriani and married her on June 9, 1953.

He served honorably for three years in the U.S. Army. Thereafter, he and
Ethel started a family and had three children that they raised in
Torrance, California where he worked as a Pressman until he retired, and
he always said that he loved his job. Upon retirement he moved to
Bullhead City, Arizona.

He was involved in his kid's life teaching them everything about cars,
fishing, camping, Little League Baseball, home improvement-you name it
he taught them. But most of all he taught his kids to be kind, loving
and good people. He was a shining example to his family and everyone
around. He never met a person he didn't like. He was kind to everyone he
met. At the age of 80 he found himself in a new chapter and decided to
get involved in the Elks, Moose and VFW where he began singing Karaoke.
He received such happiness from singing and listening to others sing. He
would go to Karaoke and dancing at least five times a week. This became
a joy that fueled his life.

He was proceeded in death by his wife, Ethel.

Dwayne is survived by his children, Dwayne (Pam) Witty Jr., Donald
(Linda) Witty, and Laura (Tom) Tally; six grandchildren, Stephanie
(Jon), Matthew (Christy), Audrey (Michael), Brett (Tara), Tommy (Kelly)
and Catherine (Addisson); and six great-grandchildren.

Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, December 4, 2021 at
Desert Lawn Funeral Home, 9250 S. Ranchero Ln, Mohave Valley AZ.
