Destry Horton

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Deeply sorry for OUR loss. Firemen not only belong to their own private families but they belong to the world because they are so altruistic totally giving of themselves. I have never met a fireman that beat his chest when he rescued someone and said look what I have done. But I have seen them cry as winniers and loser. I have a great love and respect for these people. To the family as you continue to miss and grieve for destry, May the God who supplies endurance and comfort continue to...

when i heard the news about Destry,i remember crying in the hospital hall way with Justin. I could not believe it. Didnt want to believe it either. I always loved going to youth night at Grand. Destry was always there hanging out with us. I also remember so many nights going to the alter and soon after having destry lean over and start praying with me. Destry was a real man of God. Destry, believe it or not I am married now and have a beautiful little girl! Wish you could meet them, they are...

Last night I decided to do a google search on Destry after not finding him after several attempts on facebook. I had been trying to reconnect with old friends from childhood. I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear about Destry's death. Although, I did not know the man he became, I have sweet memories of the boy he was. Destry was my first crush, the first boy I ever went to a movie with, or shared a pizza with at Mazzio's. As I sat here last night with tears streaming down my face, I could...

I thought about you today, I think it was because when you were my youth pastor you always knew how to get me out of a hole, I miss you and I'm always praying for your wife and girls

Yesterday I watched a movie about tornados on Discovery Channel, and had a tought. In 2001 I saw another tornado movie on National Geographic, and to my surprise, Destry was interviewed in it. It was such a good thing to see a familiar person thousand of kilometers away from the United States... I tought I would try to find it somehow on the internet, to save it for later. But when I typed in the words Destry Horton, and tornado, Oklahoma, this page popped up. I can not tell you how stunned I...

Dearest Son,
It has been 3 years since you departed this earth. It has been a struggle without you here. You were a wonderful husband, father, brother, and son and we miss you terribly. The first year without you was the hardest, but the 2nd year wasn't any better, and the 3rd year--well, we just keep praying for the Lord to return soon. There is so much pain on this earth.
You must be singing with the angels. I listen to your music and rejoice in your wonderful voice and...

I think about you all the time. There are stickers on vehicles everywhere - honoring you. I miss you and wish I knew you better. Until we meet again, hero!
