Obituary: Dwayne Orville Basey died peacefully in his sleep , Aug. 31, 2015 after a long illness. He was born in Oklahoma City on Aug. 11, 1947, to Otha and Margaret (Lewis) Basey. As the middle child between older brother Dwight and younger brother Larry, Dwayne was a rambunctious kid who loved to jump the fence and wander, sometimes ending up in the middle of Britton Road or watching movies at a theater where his cousin was a projectionist. Small for his age, Dwayne used his quick smile and good looks to his advantage during his childhood years, and, though his father was strict, he managed to circumvent trouble with mom, aunts, teachers and others who couldn resist his charm. It was a natural charm born of a loving nature that he carried throughout life. Dwayne loved sports. In Little League baseball, he was called Mighty Mouse. He learned to tap dance and play the accordion because his mother, a teacher and school librarian, wanted her boys to have culture. In high school, he took Arthur Murray dance lessons and became an accomplished dancer. Dwaynes most memorable dance was with daughter Holly on her wedding Sept. 28, 2013. Dwayne graduated from John Marshall High School in 1966. graduation, he joined the Marines and was shipped out to Vietnam. Though he was the smallest guy in his unit, he carried an M-60 machine gun. seven months in country, his unit encountered heavy fire, and Dwayne was severely wounded. He was one of only two survivors and was awarded the Purple Heart and partial disability. War left a deep mark on Dwaynes heart. Troubled by the deaths of friends on the battlefield, he blocked his emotions and turned to drugs for escape. Though lost in addiction for several years, Dwaynes loving family refused to give up on him. In the mid-80s, brother Dwight organized a family intervention. Dwayne embraced recovery, facing the pain of the past and finding a new future and new friends within the 12-step fellowship. In 1986, Dwayne met Joy Hampton and her children, Stephen and Holly. The couple was married in 1988, and Dwayne adopted the children shortly thereafter, but even before the adoption, there was never a doubt that those were his kids. Dwayne was a good provider and worked for the U.S. Postal Service as a mail handler for over 20 years. Dwayne was a champion of human rights, womens rights and equality for all people regardless of sex or sexual orientation. He encouraged Joy to keep her maiden name and fully supported her activities and interests. A Buddhist, he was adamantly opposed to death penalty and had a compassionate and forgiving heart. Dwayne enjoyed all sports but he especially loved OU football and was a diehard fan. When he and Joy were buying a home, he wanted to move to Norman o be close to the football team. He lived in that home until his death, filling the walls with OU memorabilia and attending games with son, Stephen and others. His grandsons Danny and Peter were the light of his life. Dwayne accepted people regardless of differences. He had friends in the LGBT community as well as a broad range of friends in recovery where he served as a sponsor, mentor and encouraging friend, helping save countless lives. He was quick to provide rides to 12-step meetings or to answer the phone day or night to a recovering addict in need. He refrained from judgment, loved unconditionally, and avoided gossip. Though Dwayne and Joy divorced in 2007, they remained steadfast friends until his death, and he always had a listening ear. Many claimed him as best friend. Dwayne was preceded in death by his parents and older brother Dwight. He is survived by his children, daughter Holly (Basey) Swanson and husband Stephen Swanson; son Stephen Basey, daughter-in-law Francesca Giani, and grandsons Daniel and Peter; ex-wife in good standing Joy Hampton; brother Larry Basey, wife Misty and son Seth; cousins Gary and Deana Basey and children; cousin Shirley (Basey) Walker and son, cousin Margaret Ann Basey, and nephew Larry Dwayne Jones.
