As many of you read in a thread a few months back that Dwayne Williams (MXerDW) had a stroke. It really looked like he was improving but then had a setback a few days ago and today succumbed to his illness. I know a lot of you guys used his race day links for years and if you had a chance a lot of us spent some time at Glen Helen or Pala or where ever a National was run and thoroughly enjoyed Dwayne's hospitality. If you all get a chance, lift a beer and give Dwayne a toast.

RIP Dwyane

We'll have to have a drink at A2 in his honor.

Dwayne, you will be missed.

Damn rest in peace. When i made a topic on here in 2016 asking for SoCal mx travel tips he was one of the first ones to come through with some info and offer me to visit him at the USGP that year, sadly didn't take him up on that offer.

Damnit....damnit....damnit....

RIP Dwayne, gone way too soon. Rest in peace, sir.

I don't drink but I may have to take you up on that in this case, Manny.

This is terrible news. Was really pulling for him to get well. Some of the funnest race weekends I have had in the past 10 years was when I was hanging out with Dwayne. He'll be sorely missed. We have lost some good people tied to this sport the last couple years. Rest in peace Dwayne.

Very sad to hear the news through a mutual friend of ours today. Dwayne was a good human and I considered him a friend from the moment I first met him. His SX and MX links were always “much appreciated” as I would often comment to him on another MX forum that we’re both members of. You’ll be missed Dwayne and I’m having an ice cold beer right now for ya.

Godspeed Dwayne! Your links, all the ones you need on one page, was one of the reasons how I ended up here. Wishing allot of strength to friends and family in these hard days and the the upcoming weeks and months.

Rest In Peace, Dwayne!

First time I met DW in person was at Glenn Helen 2015. When I unloaded my bike it had a flat and before I could even set up my camp Dwayne had run down to find a vendor and was back with a new tube and some irons and had fixed before I could get my gear on for practice.

ML....I know there were some decals made with this picture. Do you know who printed them , and maybe where we could buy some if we wanted? I would gladly buy some if I knew where to go.

Dwayne was why i was at Vital... Googled MXON Lakewood in 2010 and found Dwayne link to events.
Got clicked soon after because I disagreed with Steve. So di Dwayne get shifted from his Position of " Race Day events".

Dono where we go from here, All the folks that care are forced to leave or passing.
Dwayne was one of the best!.

Dwayne was the best, most giving guy I ever met and a true moto fan. He took a motor home to all the nationals two years in a row. I had the best times watching the races at Glen Helen with him. RIP

That is some sad news,

Relied on his posts so much in my early days on this forum.

Probably the most important content here.

RIP Dwayne Williams.

My wife posted this on Facebook earlier

Dwayne Williams gained his wings today at 2:02pm. Thank you to all who have reached out and sent prayers for him. He will be greatly missed. Will update all via FB if/when a celebration of life will be.

He will be cremated. As of this moment, the hope is that we can have his ashes sent to others to spread parts of his ashes on Motocross tracks around the US. If you would like to help with this please message and/or comment. Not sure how we can make this happen but I know we will all figure out a way. We all know this would be what he would want. ❤
