Riding my bike to your house so we could ride to the playground together.
Fighting my brother over the house phone so I could call you every day.
Going to the movies, holding hands, and getting in trouble for writing notes to each other in school.
You were a good man even before you had the chance to grow into one, Deej, and I just know your mom welcomed you with the biggest hugs the moment you crossed over.
Rest in peace
I spent a lot of time with Courtney and DJ in college. Being RAs together quickly brought us close at that time - I remember late night hangouts, trips to “The Pep” for a snack, and occasional adventures. Courtney and DJ introduced me to country music. I recall one specific time where we were driving around, and I was introduced to Brad Paisley’s music. DJ knew all the words to his songs and could belt, too! I also would not have the same appreciation for the TV show House without DJ. I will cherish all of those memories. ❤️
DJ - I’ll always remember you as the baby in the car seat next to me as we’d play with you & your mom took us places in high school…. You grew up to be an awesome adult - it was special to see you as a dad & so in love with Courtney so happy by your side. Gone too early, heaven is a better place with you in it - hug Noreen for me - love you sweetheart ♥️
