Hi Tori-
My favorite niece, I only wish that I could have been there with you. Death is still a mystery and we can never know the cause, but the effect is devastating. But faith can traverse the distance and miles to send my love to you and the family in your time of grief.
As the patriarch of a family that has been beset by so many tragedies, every time we lose one so young, it takes a piece of my heart.
Twin will always be my PAN, the god of the woods, the fields and the flocks and he is still playing the music of life to bring lost souls together somewhere.
For Raymond and Jashawn-be strong and be somebody....!!

You all called him Donald, but I called him Twin. I am never good at "these things", but I felt compelled to let you know how much Twin meant to me. Please accept my most sincere condolences on the loss of your husband, a father, a friend. Thou faraway Tanya and I have kept you and your family in our prayers. Words cannot alone express how sorry I am to hear this news. Twin was indeed, a wonderful person, who touched the lives of all those around him. My prayers, my thoughts, my tears, my heart, go out to you and the kids. You have my heart-felt sympathy for the loss of your Husband, and may you find peace with time. He will truly be missed by all. Should you or the family need anything, we are here for you. May our love and prayers help you and your family find some comfort in these words.

My Deepest Condolences to all the family, and friends he that he treated like family! Twin was truly one of the sweetest guys I ever met... He never missed an opportunity to give of himself for his friends and community, and gave extra of himself to the clubs he worked for. He always made it a point to give me a special CD mix of his favorites, which somehow would always end up becoming mine.

When people make an impact on a person's life they become a link in the chain that is the life of that individual. With the passing of dj twin, i now feel like i am missing a link in my chain.

As i try to do the job that ive done so well for so long i have a hard time gettin through it. For every dj that has ever worked with or been lucky enough to be in the presence of Dj Twin, there is a part of Dj Twin in you.

Thank You Dj Twin for all that you've tought me or given me that has helped me become who i've become.

Forever Missed, Forever Loved..Rest In Peace DJ Twin

Twin, you are truely going to be missed. When I started this construction stuff, you were the one who told me who was who, what was what,what to do and not to do. You and your son Dab took me under your wings.Soon after that Kev did too. If it wasn't from you,Dab and Kev, I don't think I would of last in this business. Everytime I saw you I told you thanks for that. You always told me, don't worry about it ,it was my pleasure. No it is my pleasure to have known you.When I seen Dab I would tell him, tell your dad I need some old school cd's. Sure enough a couple days later, I had 2-3 of them. You were NO YOU ARE THE KING OF OLD SCHOOL, you are surely going to be missed. Rest in peace....

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

His kindness, sincerety, never a frown always a smile,never an unkind word. Wow, what a big smile and hug for such a little man.

Tori may you found comfort in the love of your family and the memories that you shared as husband and wife. What a great loss we have all suffered but God has a new angel and how sweet he is!

Thanks for the memories.
