Dwain Carl Hathaway

Dwain Carl Hathaway of Claremont, NH left this world on November 10 in Lebanon, NH. He blessed his parents, Howard Braman Hathaway and Lucille Pearl Waters Hathaway by his birth on September 3, 1956 in Newport, NH. He grew up and attended schools in Claremont, NH and graduated from Stevens High School in 1974. He attended The Northeast Broadcasting School and graduated in 1993 and Southwestern College in 2009.

His lifelong passion was always entertaining the masses with his musical talents, and he excelled in all aspects, whether playing an instrument or singing. He began playing in school bands and later performed in local bands. Later in life, he went on to play with the John Penny Band, which performed all over New England and beyond. He received several Massachusetts Country Music Awards, including in 1984 for Most Promising Male Artist. He imitated Kenny Rogers perfectly. In the latter part of his life, he started an online platform called DC Coast to Coast where he would do live DJing and created a large following, making friends across the world.

Dwain was predeceased by his father and mother, Howard and Lucille Hathaway and his sister, Patricia Ann Meyette Barriteau. He is survived by his son Dwain Joseph Hathaway, his sisters Grace Hathaway LaBombard and Claire Turgeon Chase and their families, as well as several aunts, uncles and cousins.
