Dwayne Bryant was a beloved member of the Cosimo’s Restaurant Group family for over 20 years, working at the Woodbury and Newburgh locations and, since 2019, at Hudson Taco. He was adored by staff, guests, and, most of all, by his dear family and friends. Dwayne’s sudden and tragic passing has left a deep void in the hearts of everyone who knew him. His kindness, warm demeanor, and unforgettable smile touched countless lives, and the outpouring of memories and condolences from the community is a testament to the impact he made.

Dwayne’s family is now facing the difficult task of saying goodbye and honoring his memory. They wish to bring him home to Florida, where he can be laid to rest near their family’s home. The funds raised will help cover funeral expenses, travel costs for family members who live across the country, and the transportation of Dwayne’s body from New York to Florida. Every contribution will help ease the financial burden on his loved ones during this unimaginable time.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has reached out with their sincerest condolences and shared stories of how Dwayne’s kindness and smile brightened their lives. Thank you to all who are willing to support his family as they navigate this loss. Your generosity and compassion mean more than words can express.
