So saddened by this news. Be comforted that Dwight is with his Lord. "Lord please be with those that love Dwight and are still living here on earth. They need you to help them through this difficult time of grieving and loss".

Dwight could light up a room with his infectious smile. He was a pleasure to be around & never did anything without full effort. Dwight was a friend, customer, and he and Bonnie & Blake provided a high quality seed cleaning & seed treatment business for our company, Miller Hybrids. It was obvious that Dwight loved his family & enjoyed watching his grandchildren wrestle. He skied with gusto for 41 consecutive years in Colorado, & I had the pleasure of skiing with him in February & enjoyed Dwight's many stories of the previous 40 annual ski trips. Dwight's smile on the obituary appears from last August, when he won first place in the Iowa State fair soybean award. That picture is the way I will always remember Dwight, with a smile on his face. Bonnie & Jason, May the memories sustain you and your family. You are in my thoughts & prayers and offer sincere condolence.
