Dwight was a true friend. You could talk about anything with him and he would respond with love and understanding. We had so much creative energy together... often high-fiving in the studio and laughing out loud when we came up with something we really liked. I only wish we would have met earlier in life, for we could have really made it on the charts. God Bless you, my brother. You gave me a great creative ride for a few years, and I hope I did for you, too.

Dwight will be missed so much especially on the Birthday Sundays at My Place. He always had a smile and would serenade us with his singing. We will miss hearing you say "put me a plate up for later when I get through" and we would have him a plate to take with him. May your memories bring joy and God give comfort to your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Melodie and Paul Daniels/ My Place
