I was shocked when I read of Dakota's passing. I was working in the school library and enjoyed working and visiting with him there. He had a maturity that most students his age do not have. I felt the urge to hug him and wish I would have had that opportunity. My sympathy and prayers are with his family.

The family doesn't know me because it's been a long time since I've talked or seen Dakota, but we used to go to school together.He was a good person and was pretty funny and always used to crack jokes around my friends in middle school.My friends were in the same grade level as Dakota and everyone knew him to be a
good guy.My personal thoughts and prayers go out to the family and wherever Dakota goes out there, I'm sure he will be okay. God bless this family and I hope all your days will get better after this hard time.
