Hey good sir,
I just want to thank you for being such a major part of my life and growth. Life gives us few friends we can look back on and say “I’ve never had a bad memory of them,” and you were that friend to me. I will never forget all the hours you put in to support me when I needed someone most. From throwing an unwrapped block of Velveeta in the road and laughing until we cried because it bounced, to matching Nickelodeon moon boots we thrifted, and all of the following Bruce around impersonating his voice we did- I couldn’t have asked for a better friend.
What a beautiful family you have raised.. and what a beautiful wife you chose to spend your days with. I am so proud of you, dude. They were all you ever wanted and you couldn’t have ended up with three better girls.
I will be living in your honor. Loving my friends a little bit harder, focusing more on spending time with loved ones, and trying to show others the joy a true friendship can bring. You changed me for the better and now I will happily carry that torch and share your legacy with others.
To the Cox family- I love you all. There is nothing I can say to match how truly sorry I am for this loss. If I can do anything at all for any of you, please know that I would be honored to.
Dee, Bruce and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I just found out about this horrible tragedy. Praying for you and your family. Sharon Ray (Dennis' wife)
I have fond memories of Michael, he was adorable as a our ring bearer during our wedding not to mention the cutest little boy there! He grew up to be a wonderful father with a genuinely caring personality. He will be missed!
Praying for peace and comfort, praying for the family.

I only saw Michael a few times, but I know his parents, Diana and Bruce. Michael was always nice and considerate. I remember speaking with Dalton and enjoying our conversations. However, it’s been a while since I’ve seen them. I want to send my most sincere condolences to the entire family. I can’t imagine what you are going through. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. No family should have to go through such a tragedy. My heart breaks for everyone who knew and loved Michael. May God Bless all of you.

Michael was such a sweet boy. He always had a smile on his face. One precious memory that I have of Michael was when he would come to my parent's house on Halloween so that we all could see him in his costume. If Michael only knew how much he made their day by stopping by.
I also remember being at your wedding and how much fun we all had. You will be dearly missed by all.
