DJ was born on December 14, 1975 in Forsyth County. To know DJ was to
love DJ. DJ had a heart of gold and a huge love for his family and
friends. He loved his son more than words can say and enjoyed all of
their adventures together. It warms our hearts to know they are united
once again. DJ deeply treasured his faithful companion, four legged
friend Ella. He was passionate about music and loved writing songs and
poems; something his family is treasuring now more than ever. Although
the family misses him tremendously, they find peace in knowing that he
claimed the ultimate victory over his cancer.
There will be a celebration of his life with family and friends at
2:00pm on September 30, 2023 at his parents house, 1067 Tom Gordon
Road King, NC 27021.
Dj was such a sweet special guy! I remember keeping him as a little boy! How sweet he was! And would say such kind things!
O God of spirits and of all flesh, Who hast trampled down death and overthrown the Devil, and given life to Thy world, do Thou, the same Lord, give rest to the soul of Thy departed servant DJ in a place of brightness, a place of refreshment, a place of repose, where all sickness, sighing, and sorrow have fled away. Pardon every transgression which he has committed, whether by word or deed or thought. For Thou art a good God and lovest mankind; because there is no man who lives yet does not sin, for Thou only art without sin, Thy righteousness is to all eternity, and Thy word is truth.
For Thou are the Resurrection, the Life, and the Repose of Thy servants who have fallen asleep, O Christ our God, and unto Thee we ascribe glory, together with Thy Father, who is from everlasting, and Thine all-holy, good, and life-giving Spirit, now and ever unto ages of ages. Amen.
