From the day of his birth, Dakota was a special

gift. He immediately brought his family and

their friends together in a way that his family

had never seen before.

It is hard to put into words how much Dakota

meant to his family and friends, and how he

enriched their lives. His was an unconditional

love. Dakota was the constant companion of 

his mom and dad, who would have had it no

other way. Whenever you saw Jeanie or Chris,Dakota wasn't too far behind spreading smiles,

high fives, hugs and laughs along the way. He

was the best friend of his brothers, and their 

 biggest fan. He loved them beyond description

and was always talking about them. He could-

n't watch a sporting event without shouting out

whenever he saw a '4', "Mom, Dad, it's Nick!"

or a '13', "Mom, Dad, it's Zach!".

Dakota believed everyone was his friend, andit may have been true. He would talk to any-

one, say "hi" to anyone, and was always ready

with a hug for anyone that would have one.

Dakota had the great gift of never having a bad

day; even when he should have, he didn't. A

day didn't go by that he didn't smile or laugh

and make someone else smile or laugh. He

made others feel better, even when he wasn't

feeling his best. He lived his life in an amazing

way.

Dakota loved to go to school every day. He loved

 being with his friends and being a part of their 

lives. From Stolley Park Elementary to Barr Middle

School, he had made so many friends and loved to

go watch sporting events and hang out with them.

Dakota was so looking forward to high school; and

talked about it all of the time.

Dakota's parents were always amazed and thankful

of how well everyone treated Dakota. They were so

 proud of Dakota's ability to bring out the goodness

in everyone. Dakota was truly a gift to his family

and all of the lives he touched. His gifts will

continue in people's hearts, minds and souls. They

will continue because people have been brought

together, bonds have been formed, and hopefully,

 people's lives have been changed for the better. His

gift of life will continue in his selfless donation of 

organs that have already answered the prayers of 

other families. Dakota will live on in them, and it is

with hope, that they will continue to spread thesunshine he brought to them to the rest of the

world.
