Dewayne Calvin Higgins

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Dewayne Calvin Higgins, a beloved son, dad, and grandpa who departed this life on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at the age of 58. A dedicated truck driver for over 35 years, Dewayne spent the majority of his career with CWI Trash Company, and more recently, with Prestige Trucking. His unwavering work ethic and commitment to his profession were only matched by his love for his family.

An avid collector of tools, Dewayne had a passion for tinkering, fixing, and building things. 

Dewayne was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Carmen (Selzer) Higgins; mother in-law Joy Thurston; maternal grandparents, Albert and Virgie Pashea and paternal grandparents, Theresa and John Higgins.

Dewayne is survived by his dear parents, Mary Pashea and John Higgins; three cherished daughters, Madi Weiss (McKinley), Destiny Higgins, and Bailea Higgins (Brenner Dickerson); eight adored grandchildren, Lileigh, Zander, Lou, Cedric, Lincoln, Ollie, Tyler and Nevaeh.; sister and brother-in-law, Tracy Burns (Rob), along with his niece Casey Burns (Scott Faughn); nephew Rion Burns (Laura). Dewayne’s heart was filled with affection for his family, especially his daughters and grandchildren, who were his pride and joy.

Visitation will be held at C.Z. Boyer Funeral Home in Bonne Terre on Thursday, November 12, 2026, from 11:00 A.M. until service time of 1:00 P.M. with Pastor Connie Carrigan officiating. Burial will follow at St. Francois Memorial Park Cemetery in Bonne Terre. Dewayne had a fondness for the color red we invite all who knew Dewayne to join in wearing something red to honor his memory and remember the man who dedicated so much of himself to his work and family, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of those he loved.

In honor of his late wife, Carmen Higgins, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Show Me Strong, a cause close to Dewayne’s heart.
