There are only a few people in life that you know God has called for a truly special purpose. Dub touched the hearts of many people, some deeper than he could have imagined. I remember listening to him preach and sing, those are times I recall feeling God near. I will not cry for Dub but rather rejoice quitely because I knew him and he is at rest in the Lord.
