Dakota was a fighter. He had been fighting since he was born to stay in this world. The doctors always doubted his ability to make it as far as he did. Not only did he prove sobriety is possible, but he proved that he didn't need to be in prison or in the streets to make himself better. He chose to be one with God. He chose to want to reach out with others and to others about ace from the Holy Lord. Dakota has so many special areas he was able to self discover. The way he cooks a meal is phenomenal. He was prepared to use self defense after training so himself and others around him would remain safe. Dakota has such a big heart for kids even with as many issues as he did have thru the trials and tribulations of surgery. That man fought every step of the way to make his spot in heaven. He earned his spot to be comfortable after he managed to pick himself up from nothing and be fully engaged with the Church, his family, and it doesn't matter whose kids he loved kids. He would have made an amazing dad and an even better husband. May love fill around instead of sadness In the depths. He would want you all smiling while being a community in this very hard time. Remember Dakota was very intelligent and he would expect us to make sure we take care of one another just like he did with every one he can't in contact with
