I met DJ in 2013 when he started as a management traniee at Sherwin Williams. I was his training manager during his beginnings with the company. He was very ambitious, hard working and willing to take on the task of becoming a leader. I watched him climb the ladder through his hard work and dedication to becoming a successful store manager and sales representative. While working next to DJ we became good friends and always talked about being fathers and our love for cars. I can truly say he was a great friend, father and husband. DJ you will be forever missed but you'll always be here in spirit and our hearts. Rest easy brother. Your friend, -Marcus

I met DJ in 2013 when he started as an Management Trainee at Sherwin Williams. I was his training manager during his beginnings with the company. He was always very ambitious, willing to learn and always took on the task of becoming a leader. I can truly say he was a great person, father and husband. Since his tenure with SW I watched him climb the ladder through his hard work and dedication and worked his way to a successful sales representative. DJ thanks for being a great friend and someone who I could reach out to when I needed to talk or just talking about our love for cars. You will be forever missed dearly but you'll always here in spirit and in our hearts. Rest easy brother.. -Marcus
