You were such a handsome fellow. I hope your family made some beautiful memories so that they can cherish them for a long time. My the good Lord wrap his loving arms around you and help you through this difficult time. You are in my prayers through the coming weeks. Love Jane.
Sabrina, I am so very sorry. Please know that y’all are in my prayers, and I love you.
I had the pleasure of being a substitute teacher of Dakota’s at Purnell Swett. He always had a smile and was a lovable person. He nicknamed me “Shorty” after seeing him after he graduated. The last time I spoke with him was at a store in Maxton and he was excited about this new job where he was working. He hugged my neck and thanked me for being a great sub and said, Bye Shorty, love ya!” It’s people like him who made me appreciate my own value. RIP my friend until we meet again…
I express my most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Dakota Locklear. May God give you comfort and peace to help ease the pain of your loss.
Sincerely,
