Dear Adela and Daniel, We are shattered to hear this news. I will always remember DJ as the most polite, shy, and respectful boy during our Pop Warner years. He could always melt my heart with his warm smile and beautiful eyes. We are so truly very sorry for your loss. Please accept our sincerest condolences. Jen, Nick and Matt Cashman and family
