As the oldest son of Durward Dudley Rhem II, Durward grew up being known as "Sonny Boy" and later in life took the nickname of D.D. with his friends and associates. He served in the Army during World War II and after being discharged went to college and received degrees from William & Mary and Ringling College of Art. D.D. loved the sunny state of Florida and settled there to raise a family while pursuing a career in graphic arts. He moved to Brevard County where he soon met Jane Patricia "Patsy" Rhem who he married in 1953. D.D. was a gifted artist and a born entrepreneur who founded and led two successful companies during his six-decade professional career. Brevard Graphics: a graphic design and printing company, and Graphic Arts Center: a graphic arts studio, both located in Melbourne, Florida. D.D. was an incredibly talented artist who inspired his employees with creativity and a high bar of excellence. He was respected for his leadership and loved for loyalty, dedication, and a witty sense of humor. D.D. was a devoted and loving father who raised three children with Patsy: Durward Dudley Rhem IV "Tripp", Patricia Anne Rhem and Jennifer Leah Rhem in Indialantic, Florida. The eldest child, Tripp worked with D.D. at Graphic Arts Center in Melbourne, Florida up until Tripp suddenly passed away in July of 2014 at the age of 56.
