Dwaine was born on April 17, 1976, in Cleveland, Oklahoma, to Dwaine Douglas Hand, Sr. and Donna Kay (Hickey) Hand. He grew up west of Sand Springs, spending his childhood outdoors and exploring the woods he loved so much. He attended Heritage Baptist School north of Cleveland and graduated with the Class of 1994.

A standout athlete, Dwaine was known as the "Basketball King" during his school years. It was through one of his rival schools that he met the love of his life, Shannon Irene Carroll Grisham. Their high school romance grew into a lifelong love story, and they were married on May 27, 1995, at Fisher Church in Sand Springs. For more than 31 years, they shared a life filled with love, laughter, friendship, and countless memories. Shannon was not only his wife but truly his best friend.

While Dwaine dabbled in pipe fitting early in his career, his true passion was carpentry. Building and creating with his hands brought him great satisfaction. He spent many years constructing new homes, additions, and home repairs, taking pride in every project he completed. He was a hardworking craftsman who believed in doing things the right way, and he especially enjoyed the time he spent working alongside his dad.

Dwaine was a kind-hearted, polite, and friendly man who made people feel welcome and valued. He never sought the spotlight and was happiest spending time at home with his family. Though he enjoyed sharing a laugh and had a playful sense of humor, his greatest joy came from simple moments with those he loved most. Beneath his rugged exterior was a gentle soul with a big heart.

He enjoyed fishing, NASCAR, Thunder basketball, football, and just about any sport he could watch. He was an avid OU fan, and loved playing video games, listening to podcasts, and was a faithful fan of Pat McAfee and Joe Rogan. Music was another passion in his life, and he appreciated all types of music. Whether relaxing at home, watching a race, casting a line, or spending time with family, Dwaine found happiness in life's simple pleasures.

Above all else, Dwaine loved his family. He was a devoted husband and father. Becoming a grandfather brought him a special kind of joy. His eyes would light up whenever Bristol, Ryleigh, Mia, and Oliver were around, and they adored their Papa just as much as he adored them. Some of his most treasured moments were spent making memories with his grandchildren.

Dwaine was also a devoted animal lover and shared a special bond with his beloved dog, Poppy, who will miss him dearly.

Though his passing leaves an emptiness in the hearts of those who loved him, his family takes comfort in the memories he leaves behind. Dwaine was a wonderful husband, devoted father, proud grandfather, loving son, and loyal friend. He will be remembered for his kindness, his hardworking spirit, his love for family, and the steady presence he provided to those fortunate enough to know him.

He is survived by his loving wife, Shannon Hand; his father, Dwaine Douglas "Doug" Hand, Sr. and wife, Pamela; his children: Macayla Miller and husband, Dominic, and Jordan Hand and wife, Sarah; his cherished grandchildren: Bristol, Ryleigh, Mia, and Oliver; his father- and mother-in-law, Randy and Becky Grisham; along with numerous extended family members and friends who will forever treasure his memory.

Dwaine was preceded in death by his mother, Donna Kay Hand.

His family finds comfort in knowing that while he is no longer here with them, the love, lessons, and memories he shared will remain in their hearts forever.
