Ashley, I just found out DJ is gone. I am so sorry, it was such a shock. He was a wonderful young man and husband and father. Even though it's been awhile, I know it still is very painful. Please let me know if I can ever help you and Madyson with anything. My deepest sympathies and condolences.

I remember DJ as a baby, as a child, and as a teenager. He always had an inviting smile and a friendly personality. I was proud to call him my cousin. I wish I spent more time with DJ the man and father, but I am still proud to call him my cousin. I will miss his smile and his fun personality, and I will always remember him.

Dear Ashly, although we only got to spend a little while with DJ it was evident how much he loved you, and how excited and happy he was to be a father to Madyson. Thoughts and prayers are with you, Madyson and your families during this time of loss and sadness.
