There are no words to express the amount of sadness everyone is experiencing with this loss. It’s been a great honor to have been a part of his life. “Big D” will be missed by so many; we will continue to see him in everything we do every day. Praying for the family to find peace and acceptance. Missed and loved by so many… Fly high on that motorcycle in the heavenly sky…
