Earl Dewayne Noel

Earl Dewayne Noel, better known as Dewayne, 54, of Newbern, Tennessee, died on Thursday, May 22, 2025, at his residence in Newbern, Tennessee.

Born Thursday, March 4, 1971, he was the son of the late Earl Clanton and Shirley Taylor Noel. Dewayne will be remembered for his kind heart, easy smile, and deep devotion to his family.

He was a former employee of Hexpol, where he worked for several years and built lasting friendships. Outside of work, he found joy in simple pleasures—playing darts, cheering on his favorite wrestling matches, and, above all, spending time with his family.

He married the love of his life, Candyice Burns Noel, on August 10, 2007. Together, they built a home filled with laughter, love, and cherished memories. Dewayne was a proud father who never missed an opportunity to support his children, whether at school events, sports games, or any activity that brought them joy.

Visitation for Mr. Noel will be held on Saturday, May 24, 2025, from 4:00 PM until 6:00 PM at Johnson-Williams Funeral Home.
