D.C. had an outgoing personality and was always ready for the next adventure. He enjoyed traveling. D.C was a veteran of the United States Army. He retired this Summer, 2024, from Florida National Guard’s Camp Blanding Joint Training Center.

Revelation 21:4-7 KJV – 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
DC was a good man and a good friend.
I will always smile when I think of you and the things we have shared from childhood through adulthood. You were taken too soon; there was still a lot of living to do. We will sorely miss you, however we will love you and your unselfish, sweet spirit for the rest of my life.
Ride high DC ❤️
