DJ was the most fun, loveable and active child. He had the most adorable smile miles long. He attended Summerdale Preschool and was a part of the Boys and Girls Club. He loved Spiderman, incredible hulk, all superheroes also to swim, ride his bike, and play on the trampoline. He was blessed at an early age. In his short four years of life he touched so many and was loved by so many as well.
