So sad to hear about Dwight’s death. I pray for your family that the peace, love and presence of God will be you during this time.
I was a teammate and friend of Dwight in high school.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Dwight. Had many great times on the back porch of The Strand talking to Dwight about fishing and life. Our prayers are with all the family.
