Grayling, Michigan
Passed Away April 18, 2025
It is with heavy hearts and profound sorrow that the family of DeWayne Annabel announces his unexpected passing on Good Friday, April 18, 2025, due to complications from Septicemia. DeWayne was a beloved father, a devoted friend, and a cherished member of the Grayling, MI, community. His passing has left an unfillable space in the lives of those who knew and loved him.
DeWayne will be remembered most for his warm heart, generous spirit, and unwavering kindness. In a world that often moves too fast, he was a steady and compassionate presence—a man who always had time to listen, to help, and to offer a smile. He approached life with quiet strength and faced his health battles with incredible bravery and resilience, never allowing his pain to diminish his love for others or his hope for better days.
A devoted father to his daughters, DeWayne was their protector, guide, and greatest supporter. His love for his children was evident in everything he did. Whether it was offering a word of wisdom, a ride across town, or a quiet moment of reassurance, DeWayne’s role as a father was one he held sacred.
He was a man who believed in the simple, enduring values of family, loyalty, and compassion. Whether sharing a story, offering a helping hand, or showing up when it mattered most, DeWayne touched the lives of many—neighbors, friends, and even strangers. His legacy lives on not only through his family but also in the kindness he extended to others without expecting anything in return.
The Annabel family is now facing the unexpected emotional and financial burden of laying DeWayne to rest. They are currently seeking support to help cover the costs associated with cremation and a memorial service to honor his life. Any contribution, no matter the size, would be deeply appreciated and would help ensure that DeWayne receives the respectful and loving farewell he deserves.
If you are able to help during this incredibly difficult time, your generosity would mean the world to his family. More than anything, they ask that you keep DeWayne’s daughters and loved ones in your hearts and prayers as they navigate this time of grief and remembrance.
May DeWayne Annabel rest in eternal peace, and may his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.
