Dwayne R. Shreve, age 68, of Elkton, MD, passed away on Friday, September 4, 2015, at home. He was born May 2, 1947, in Libertyville, IL, to the late John and Norma Olson Shreve.

Growing up in Illinois, he worked his way through college, holding several blue collar jobs, including night-shift janitor. Upon earning his degree, he began a career with the federal government in 1978. He retired as an opinion writer for administrative law judges in 1999 and enjoyed many years of retirement.

He also built and maintained web sites for several non-profit organizations, bicycled with the Wilmington Trail Club, grew large gardens, brewed beer, fished, and traveled extensively. In 2011 he was diagnosed with lung cancer and fought a courageous and intelligent battle until 2015. He served on the Patient and Family Centered Advisory Council of Union Hospital until his illness made it impossible.

He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Carol Sickles, and by three sisters, Sharon Shreve and Dianne Rutledge (Ray) of South Carolina, and Julia Shreve of Michigan and by many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Norma Shreve, and by his brother Jon.
