Still think about you daily you are truly missed rest easy!

love & miss you unc ❤️

You and your mom sallymae are together again you are not alone on this journey R.I.P. Dexter.

I am so sorry to hear of Dexter's passing. I was once married to his father Freddie (Butch) Johnson. He is the brother of my daughter Debria M. Seabrook of Texas. In earlier years, I met Dexter and his passing really saddens me. God bless this family! Carolyn Samuel

Rest peacefully, my dear brother. I will always remember you and love you. You are still my hero!❤

Sending my condolences to his sister Mimi and Lil Dexter and all grand kids and his children.. Dex I will always picture you in your Navy suit standing tall and proud. May you Rest In Peace and tell my brother Carl, Glen and Danny that I miss them and love them dearly. We shall meet again ❤️ - Teresa (Teka) Williams

I'm gonna miss you Bro!!!! Sitting around talking and not to mention all those great large mouth bass I got from you and AA. God Bless Your Soul. O yeah-tell my mama and my daddy I miss them so much!!!!! We'll all be together again one day. Enjoy Heaven!!!!! DHarv

Dexter you were my buddy. You will be deeply missed. Condolences to YoYo and your family. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all. "Although you sleep in Heaven now. You're not that far away. My heart is full of memories and you'll be with me everyday. You lived your life with meaning and with a smile upon your face. A world that was full of happiness is now an empty place. People say that only time will heal a broken heart. But just like me and you it has been torn apart. I know you are at peace and more suffering now. And in a place where you are free. Meet me at the Pearly Gates when Heaven calls for me." I love you Dex and will see you again and in the meantime I will carry you in my heart, and memories. R.I.P. Buddy.

My condolences to Mimi, YoYo, Stephanie and the rest of Dexter's family. Dexter was like a brother to me and I will miss him but am comforted knowing he is at peace. God has wiped away his tears, no more pain, suffering or struggles. John 15:20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her , "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live." "and whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this ?"

Sleep in peace Dex, I will remember the big heart u had, your kindness and the bond we shared. I'm grateful for the last time I spent time with u at ur sisters...we put together 2 baby walkers for Mimi's husband.

I always loved you.....

Forever in my heart, Angie Fields

Dexter you will always be in our hearts. Our deepest sympathy to the family. Kavin and Catherine Mayes

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
