Dwayne Lloyd Schwecke

48, passed at his home in Big Bear, April 13, 2006. Born June 18, 1957, in Santa Ana, Calif., 
and lived with his family in Orange until they moved to Norco in 1962 where he and his brothers 
worked on the family's egg ranch during their youth. He graduated from Norco High School in 1975 
where he played baseball and trumpet. He worked as a baker at Kick's Bakery in Arlington, Minn. 
and then for Albertson's Market. Using his gift as a natural salesman, he became a sales rep for 
PYA Monarch Foods in 1979 and continued working in that profession as his life time career for 25 
years. Currently, Dwayne was employed with SYSCO Food Service of Los Angeles as a marketing 
associate and truly loved working for this wonderful company.

In 1983, Dwayne moved to Big Bear where he met the love of his life, Erin McRaven. They were married 
in 1984 and were blessed with four beautiful children. He loved being involved as a youth sports 
coach for all his kids. Some of his favorite hobbies were cooking, golf, travel and he was a very 
competitive card player. He always saw the best in everyone and lived every day to the fullest with 
loads of energy, enthusiasm and love.

He is survived by his wife, Erin; four children, Curtis, Tara, Taylor and Nicole; his parents Norbert 
and Noreen of Norco; two brothers, Craig (Doris) of Riverside and Bryan (Debbie) of Flagstaff, Ariz.; 
sister Connie (Darami) of Riverside; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews; plus many 
friends and customers he knew and worked with over the many years in the profession he loved.
