🙏🙏🙏 for the Family! DJ was a very close childhood friend of mine. He lived a street over from me in Park Forest. We went to Elementary and Middle School together and we were always out riding around on our bikes, playing football and basketball. Just the best times! RIP my friend

Love you DJ!
I’ve known you for 20+ years.
You will be greatly missed!
A few things about DJ:
-When the company holds a Vehicle Inspection, you don’t want to go behind DJ! In fact, they renamed it to DJ Inspection.
-If you were a designer in Fire Protection, DJ would bring your drawings back that afternoon with red lines meaning, do better!
-When you’re having a normal conversation with D, he’s just feeling you out.
-If you wanted to know what’s going to happen to mankind in the future? D was your man!
-Most conversations with D left you dumbfounded then two years later….lo and behold, D was talking about that!
All and all, his true nature and heart was felt when the flood of 2016 came. I got my family to safety, I went back to the house, phones and communication were down, next thing I see was a canoe coming around the corner. This guy in his muscle shirt, brand new Oakley glasses, hat backward, latest high brand shoes, tells me to get in and don’t splash! DJ
