Obituary for Dewane Frizzell: Dewane Frizzell, 68, of Lilburn, Georgia, passed away on Tuesday, September 13, 2022. He was preceded in death by his father, Edward Eugene (Gene) Woodall, his infant brother, Roger Dale Woodall and his step father John Hughes. Mister Frizzell is survived by his mother, Lucy Fox Hughes; daughter, Dena Finn and husband James Finn; son, Christopher Frizzell and wife Ashley Frizzell; son Bryan Frizzell and wife Jennifer Frizzell; and son Adam Frizzell. He is also survived by his wonderful grandchildren, Thomas Finn, Emma Finn, Ava Frizzell, Zoe Frizzell, Ora Frizzell, Casey Frizzell, Bryson Frizzell; and two beloved “blended” grandsons, Matthew White and Nathan Frizzell. In addition, he is survived by many cousins and extended family. Mister Frizzell was born on April 29, 1954 in Franklin, North Carolina and move to Buford, Georgia when he was 8 years old. As a teen, he became a member of Old Suwannee Baptist Church and made the decision to be baptized there. He joined the US Navy not long after graduating from North Gwinnett High School, and he was always proud to tell interesting stories of his adventures on a US Navy Submarine. Anyone that knew Dewane quickly came to realize that he often wished the world and the people in it were a lot less complicated. Keeping in consistency with “the simple life” that he longed for, Dewane was a proficient outdoorsman. He loved almost everything about life outdoors, including hiking, fishing, constructing outdoor shelters, camping, etc… He could comfortably live or camp outdoors almost indefinitely with very few supplies or amenities. He was particularly fond of the Appalachian Trail, which he hiked and camped certain portions of many times. Dewane had a talent for drawing, whittling, and creating art - which was a trait he passed on to most of his children and grandchildren. He wasn’t a know it all, by any means, but knew a little bit about almost anything. Anytime one would engage in conversation with Dewane, they were bound to learn something new. He liked to refer to himself as a “Jack of all trades and a Master of none”. Dewane was certainly one of a kind and he will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by each of his friends and family members. He was always kind to animals and took in many stray pets over his lifetime, so lieu of flowers, donations can be made to your local humane society because Dewane never met a “good dawg” he didn’t like, and goodness knows the animal shelters need funds. A quaint memorial service for family and close friends will be held Sunday, September 25, 2022 at the covered dock at Sims Lake Park in Suwanee, GA from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. (4600 Suwanee Dam Rd, Suwanee, GA 30024) It also seems appropriate that we celebrate “Pops” and remember his true spirit. Therefore, there will be a celebration of life for friends and immediate family on Saturday, September 24 from noon until the park closes. Attendees are welcome to drop in for a while or stay all day. Some sodas and water will be provided, along with snacks and such. Feel free to bring your own beverages and some munchies to share, if you like. ((Please contact Chris Frizzell at (334)379-2330 for park location and other details…))
