To the whole family: I wish I had been a bigger part of Dak’s life. I know that I would have enjoyed getting to know him. I lost my father too soon, but Katie has lost something precious far too soon and she will always miss that spot that no one else can ever fill.. My heart hurts for her. How well I know. I know that Dak’s son was very close to his father and I truly hurt for him too. Bobbi and Ben, you raised a fine son of which you ought to be proud. I pray that the good Lord can give all of you the strength and faith to carry you through this time of sorrow. He is in a far better place.
