I grew up with Dwight. We where good friends and shared alot of memorable times together in our youth. I hope that he is in a much better place. Rest in peace my brother.
Shelly says
I will love you always.
There is so much that I want to say… But I said everything I needed to, to you the day before you past.
I told you that I forgave you for the last 5 years. There was so much left unfinished when you left. And instead of me waking to you… I got woke up about your accident. I figured that I’d get a call from you telling me to come get you. Then the detectives showed up, and I realized real quick that you were seriously hurt. And after I spoke to the Surgeon, I knew you weren’t coming back to me. And no amount of begging or pleading or how many tears I cried changed anything.
I forgave you for that too.
I miss you Dwight.
I love you…
I always will.
XOXO,
Shelly

Eric Patterson says
Me and Dwight hung out in the early 90’s and hung around the same people. We liked the same music (Misfits) and skateboarding.
He had a good heart and I’m sure him and Tim are somewhere laughing about life.

Dwight, you are missed. We were so thankful to meet you last year. What a blessing you were with all the help you gave us throughout a month of moving. You were a gentle kind Giant, stronger than anyone we had ever encountered, and always eager to help. We were grateful to you and valued your continued friendship. Gone way to soon. Fly high!
Our sincere condolences and prayers to Dwight’s family.
