WAYNE ADKINS

KINGSPORT, TN – In loving memory of Dwayne Adkins. 53 years of Love, Faith and Precious Memories.

Dwayne Adkins, 53, was a special blessing to those who knew and loved him. He was a kind and gentle soul with a heart all his own. His life may have been different from others, but he held a very special place in the hearts of his family. Sometimes the sweetest souls teach us the greatest lessons about love, kindness and the simple joys of life.

Dwayne loved the Lord and had a special love for music. These were two things that brought him great joy. His gentle spirit and the love he shared with those around him will forever remain in the hearts of his family.

Dwayne was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Lois Adkins, who passed away 23 months ago. While her passing left an empty place in his life and in the hearts of those who loved her, we find comfort in knowing that Dwayne has now gone home to be with the Lord and has been reunited with his precious mother. What a beautiful thought to imagine that reunion in Heaven.

Left to cherish his memory are his brother Darrell Adkins, who shared his home and life with Dwayne, along with two very special cousins, Greg and Gary Adkins, who were more like brothers than cousins. He will also be remembered with love by his extended family and all those who were blessed to know him.

Though our hearts grieve his absence, we take comfort in knowing that Dwayne’s earthly struggles are over. No more limitations, no more difficulties, no more sorrow. Only the peace and perfect love of heaven. The same Lord he loved here on earth has now welcomed him home.

Dawyne’s life reminds us that a person’s worth is never measured by what they can do, but by the love they leave behind. He has loved more than words can express, and he will be missed more than words can ever say.

Friends and family are invited to gather for visitation on Wednesday November 18, 2026 at Baker Funeral Home in Pound, VA from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm.

Following the viewing, a procession will proceed to the Rob Ratliff Cemetery on Elkhorn Creek in Jenkins, KY for the final service and burial where Dwayne will be laid to rest beside his beloved mother.

“Well done, thou good and faithful servant…. Enter thou into the joy of the Lord. “ – Matthew 25:21

Rest Peacefully Dwayne. Your race is finished, your earthly journey is complete, and you are finally home. Until we meet again.
