He worked as a general laborer, but mostly enjoyed hauling hay and cutting wood. Dewayne will be remembered as a caring and helpful person. No matter what the situation, he was willing to give a hand and wasted no time in doing it. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, finding arrowheads, spending time with his family and friends, and telling jokes, remembering old times with his dad and others, who have passed on, was always one of his favorite pastimes. He was baptized at the age of 12 at Chuculate Baptist Church.

Dewayne was preceded in death by his parents, two infant brothers; two sisters, Doris Jo Brown and Lucille Still; one nephew and two infant great nieces.

He is survived by his wife, Valarie Delaine (Sanders) Proctor of the home in Bunch; one step son, Beau Sanders, also of the home; three brothers, Robert Proctor and wife, Darlene of Weatherford, Texas, Carl Wayne Proctor and wife Rhonda of Stilwell, Oklahoma and Charles Wayne Proctor of Bunch, Oklahoma; one sister, Gail Suzette Boudeau of Sallisaw, Oklahoma; and one sister-in-law Janis Proctor of Stilwell; five nieces, six nephews, five great nieces, and four special friends: Rick Brown, Velvet Bird, Raymond Pettit and Mark Gann.
