Calvin was Duncan's first friend at St B's in the third grade. He felt like a bit of an outsider there. Cal was the one person who always made Duncan feel welcome and happy at school. They went their separate ways through high school, but often connected to play XBOX together for a few years. He was a true joy and will be greatly missed. May God bring you Peace and Comfort knowing what Joy your son and brother brought to everyone he met.

To the Dworshak and O'Brien Families: We are deeply sorry for the loss of Cal. Our sincerest prayers and condolences go out to you during this difficult time. Love, Dan, Kathleen, Jacqueline, Lily and Beau Branch
