Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Dwayne Lamar Chance of Charlotte, North Carolina, on November 26, 2011; and

Whereas, the son of Cheryl Chance Dopson and Billy Swinton, Sr., the young Dwayne entered this world on March 27, 1980, in Beaufort. As a youngster growing up, he developed a great love for sports and as a result was affectionately dubbed "Cool Man" by his great-grandmother. His friends styled him "D," among other good-natured nicknames; and

Whereas, he was educated in the public schools of Beaufort and Jasper counties and graduated from Jasper County High School in 1998. While in high school, he was a member of the varsity basketball and weight-lifting teams; and

Whereas, upon high school graduation, Dwayne attended Fayetteville State University and Johnson C. Smith University, both located in North Carolina, and later earned his barbering certificate from Hairstyling Institute of Charlotte, Inc.; and

Whereas, as a person of faith, Dwayne was christened at Zion Oak Grove Baptist Church of Ridgeland and later became a member of St. Stephen A.M.E. Church in Hardeeville; and

Whereas, a devoted son, brother, father, and friend, Dwayne will be remembered for his unique personality, eye for fashion, love for classic cars, and amazing smile; and

Whereas, Dwayne Lamar Chance leaves to cherish his memory his loving parents, Cheryl Dopson and Billy Swinton, Sr.; a son, Jayden Chance; two daughters, Saniya Chance and Dejah Threatt; his godfather, our friend and colleague state Representative Curtis Brantley; and a host of other relatives and friends. He will be missed. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
