Dwight also welcomed Ruth’s daughter, Sherrhonda, into his heart, proudly embracing her as his bonus daughter and her children (Brian, Jessica, Diamond, and Asia) who affectionately called him “Gight.”

Dwight knew how to enjoy life. He loved all sports, fishing, and barbecuing. Give Dwight a fishing pole, a game to watch, or a grill to stand beside, and he was in his element. These simple pleasures gave him opportunities to relax, laugh, spend time with others, and make memories. Some of the best moments were simply the moments shared with the people he cared about.
