Dwight was known as a caregiver, always giving to others and making sure everyone was taken care of. He had a very sweet spirit and to know him was to love him!  He was an incredibly loving husband, father, and grandfather.  He was so proud of all of his grandchildren and great grandchildren, making sure to support them in whatever their hearts desired. 

In his spare time, Dwight enjoyed woodworking, glass engraving, mowing the yard, reading, and watching old westerns.  He loved to be outdoors to hunt deer and turkey as well as fish.  Dwight was a prankster and loved to make others laugh.  He will be so dearly missed by all that knew him, but his spirit will live on for generations to come.
