We are so sad!
Don was a wonderful man and friend.
And we are so thankful that we rearranged our normal post-Thanksgiving celebration to a pre-Thanksgiving celebration! It was a great day with our friends Don and Steve.
We ache with Steve and will never forget Don at future celebrations.

I’m truly sorry for your loss. Dapper was an amazing person that I had the pleasure of knowing. He opened his heart and home to us and for that I’m very grateful. He always made me feel like family and will always be in our heart. You will be in our prayers, we love you and thank you always.

Steve, Hack, and family I’m sending my deepest condolences to you. I’ve known Dapper for over 20 years and loved him like a father. He taught me, loved me, and welcomed me as part of his family. That is a debt that I could never repay. I will always miss Dapper and his sayings ” who wants some action; or The pack is Back; and Or shots are us ” tonight we celebrate your life and remember all that made you Dapper. We love you man.” Dapper I’m always grateful rest in peace and I LOVE YOU ” Your Beanman

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. May the words of Christ Jesus be of comfort to you which he states that all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. We are also comforted by God’s promise to wipe away the tears of sorrow from our eyes forever and to swallow up death forever.
John 5:28,29
Isaiah 25:8
Revelation 21:3-5
