At an early age, Dwane attended Sergeant Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C.  In 1983 in his early twenties, he accepted Jeesus Christ into his life.  He eventually moved to Laurens, South Carolina where he attended Gospel Tabernacle Church.  He was amember there for at least fifteen or more years where he played the guitar which he loved so dearly in the church band.  He was more recently affiliated with White Plains Baptist Church in Mountville, South Carolina.

On October 26, 1992 he was united in marriage to Selena Chappelle.  To this union came four sons.

Mr. Goldsmith was an entrepreneur who built Goldsmith Floors into a family run contracting service which still operates today.  He was also employed at Henkel in Enoree, South Carolina where he was employed for many years as a trainer at their industrial facility until his retirement in 2017 due to health concerns.

Dwane enjoyed live musical performances of old school R and B, Funk and Jazz.  He also enjoyed mentoring young males through Sunday Basketball Games.  He also enjoyed bowling, gardening, playing his guitar, an Martial Arts-Wing Chung.
