To The Family,May God Give All Of You Peace And Comfort. Dwight Was Like a brother to me when we were in our teenage years, he was always full of fun and laughter.,even though there were mistakes made along the way we are forgiven if we ask in Faith to Almighty God our father. He Was Liked By All Who Knew Him and like my real Brother Duke He Will Be Missed in fact they were closer than he and i. May he always be remembered.

Although it's been a while since I last saw my cousin, he was always in my thoughts. I'm remembering him walking his sister down the Isle, and dancing with her at the reception. Dwight was always a fun guy to be around. He would have me laughing when we were in school at times when we should have been quiet. I'm going to miss him. To my family, you have my condolences and deepest sympathy. I love you all. ❤️🙏
