My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Dwight. We reconnected a little as Montverde alumni, and although we didn't see eye to eye I had fun sparring with him over politics, and I hope he did too. I wish I had known he was into craft beer brewing, as that would have given us something more constructive to talk about. I cannot be in Orlando to celebrate his life, but Saturday I'll wear flip-flops to a local pub and toast Dwight a beer. I'll be sure to make it something weird, like a bourbon barrel aged baltic porter or something. "Bail o Dhia ort" my friend...

So very hard to believe that you're gone. We were friends for over 35 years. From the silly high school pranks we all pulled, to your long hair motorcycle college days, to our MVA reunions & get togethers. You will be so greatly missed by all your MVA family. You had such an easy style and crazy sense of humor -lizard. Your memory will always have a special place in our hearts.

Dwight, it was great spending time with you a couple times in Memphis this past fall when you came for business. After not seeing you for 30 years, it was wonderful catching up. You had not changed at all. You were still the laid-back, nice, funny dude I remembered from Montverde Academy. I'll never forget the orange grove wars we had during cross country practice and the grief we caused Mr. Moore. You are like a brother to me. I will miss you. Godspeed, friend. I love you.

I've known you for over 30 years, and it hurts to know we've lost you way to soon. I guess God and The Goddess needed you for something special. Our Montverde get togethers will never be the same without your smiling face and crazy sense of humor. You will stay will us all forever and we will bring your spirit to every function we have. We love you and you will be missed more than you can ever know. R.I.P. my brother...
I raise my glass to you dear brother

Such a good man taken way too soon. I pray for his family to be strong in their time of loss. He was a best friend and partner to Stacey, a terrific Dad to his Step children, and a GREAT POP Pop to his grandson Colton. His absence is felt. So happy to have had hin in our family.
