Gwen, every time we saw DJ, he had a ready smile and always asked about the boys. You and DJ were our first friends when we moved to Warner Robins. We were deeply sorry to hear of his passing and will pray for you and DQ. Although we don't cross paths much anymore, DQ and Marcus are friends for life. If either of you ever need anything, just let us know. Love you. Jeff, Dee Dee, Marcus, and Dorian McClain

There are no words that can truly say how much DJ will be missed. We may not have spoken that often but when we did it was like no time had gone by. I will miss your words of wisdom and that great smile of yours. Until we meet again my brother. No need to worry about your family they will be taken care of by all your friends and family whom loved you.

Gwen, our deepest sympathy.
DJ was a man of honor and integrity. The most beautiful green eyes and a smile that would light up the room.
DJ was Roberts Brother by another mother. Robert taught DJ to play golf! Dad was with DJ when he hit his first hole in one...the Grasshopper had become the teacher.
The girls always called him Uncle DJ because he truly was family to us.
DJ you are loved and missed. Until we meet again.
Love Always

Gwen, I have no words to express how truly sorry I am for you and your family. The world is less bright without DJ's infectious smile. I'm so proud to have had him as a friend and consider him a brother. No longer will I be able to yell "DJ" and have him reply "Spin That Wheel!!!" He will be missed more than he could have ever imagined. Be at peace my friend, until we meet again!
