  1. When I think of Dakota, all i can hear is his very distinct goofball laugh. You all know the laugh. It’s so contagious you cant help but smile just thinking about it. He could be happy literally anywhere, doing anything, it didnt matter you were guaranteed to hear him laughing and see him smiling. From your beloved blues clues to your love of music i absolutely loved being your big cousin. I’ll never forget all the time weve spent together. Until next time cuzzo.❤

  2. My condolences to the family and friends of this fine young man. Unfortunately, I only knew him as a member of the Ox Bow staff. Dakota was extremely pleasant and seemed to have lots of dreams. May the comfort of Our Lord be with you.

  3. Dan and Marsha, I am so sadden to read about Dakota. I remember coming down to your house and seeing that beautiful, spunky, big brown eyed little boy running around the yard, Know that I am thinking and praying for you. If you need anything, please reach out! Love, Amy Cejka
