DJ, I cannot believe that it has been over 101/2 years already since God took you from us. It has been a hard journey without you here, Your Mom loves and misses you so very much, and I do as well. You have been heavy on my heart lately, just as Chris and Kristal have been. I know you are still with us because I love you too "man". I wish you were here to see Chris' babies. You would be very proud of both his and Kristals accomplishments. And you would have been one hell of a uncle.
Man I miss you Son. I miss all of my children. I will see you soon Deej.
I love you man!! |
It's coming up on 8 years now and I still remember your face like I saw you yesterday. You are forever in our hearts. |
I still think about you all the time. I miss you deej. |
Love you so much brother wish you were here to see me but it can't happen your still in my heart love you |
Idk Y today of all days I search all over the Internet for you, and you're everywhere. I knew it was April, but blocked the exact date from my mind, Ironic, today.... I'm sorry for what happened between us, you always did and always will mean more than I could ever explain. I love you and will go visit you tomorrow.. as I read from a mutual friend, we are all 1 day closer to seeing you again... something to look forward to rather than dread. I try to be in paradise once a year, but I know you are there every day... as God and the universe could have only planned for you. I remember when, when you're Mom told me this certain sappy country song reminded her of us.. the feelings that made me feel are unexplainable, although attainable in future lives, in all of our hearts you live and we will too, with you, as long as we all are. <3 A. |
I LOVE YOU SON !!!! |
miss your face! and hugs, yes I miss those hugs. Love, Tara |
Never met you DJ...everyone that I've met loves you sooooooo muchhhhh...usually when someone passes away they are forgotten shortly after...But to see All of your friends still coming together to talk about how amazing you are is a blessing. ..it means that you were so amazing that you made a lasting impact on 100s of lives..I am so happy they won't let you die!!! Please continue to watch over your 3 parents! They need you more than everrrrrrr...to see someone's joy stolen and half of their heart missing forever is a tough thing to watch...Come to them in their dreams and lift them up son!!! You will forever be missed even by the people that never had the opportunity to meet you |
Miss you brother! |

Sorry that you are gone, may you have peace and your family. |
I didn't know you but I grew up with your dad. I can only imagine what a wonderful person you must have been. Rest in peace. |

Hey Baby; today you have been gone 2 years and I still cant believe It.

It blows me away. Your dad and I keep in touch;I know your happy about that.There are no words to describe how much we love and miss you sweetheart, but I know you can feel our love.Come see me in my dreams.

SWEETHEART; WE ALL MISS YOU.YOU HAVE SO MANY WONDERFUL FRIENDS,STILL. COME SEE ME IN MY DREAMS I LOVE YOU D.J. |
I miss you so much dj.
everytime i try to comment your myspace, it never
works, and i'd like to express my thoughts and feelings.
I close my eyes sometimes and just think of all the
obstacles i've been through. all the people i've met, and all the people i've forgotten. and mostly the people, i've lost. i've loved so much people and i've seen some leave. leave me to go back home.
i understand that this was ment to be.
i understand you had to go home.
i just don't understand why i couldn't have actually
gotten a real goodbye.
a real hug goodbye.
because if i could've, i would've made that goodbye,
our last goodbye, worth while.
because you ment the world to me and my family.
you still do. i know each day me and my family
think about you.
each day we want to get on our knees and ball our
eyes out because we don't get those big "dj" hugs.
i miss those.
i miss how you were like another guardian angel watching over me.
always telling me right from wrong.
always highlighting the important, and elementating
the unimportant and idiotic.
i know you look down to watch me, because you were
like that. you were someone that watched over everyone, making sure that they'd be ohkay.
that they'd make every day worth living, with
happiness and joy in their system.
you'd make the sadness fade away and the anger
disappear.
you'd make every moment count.
i miss you dj.
i miss my guardian angel.
i miss you.
watch over me like you always have.
make sure i'll be ohkay.
because this life is so hard already, i've
already fallen so hard on my face, i've gone
through the concrete and fallen under it.
watch my steps that i take.
watch me love.
i love you, buddy.
i'll see you soon, i promise♥ |
Well little Man, it is finally sentencing day for mr. Neal Hussey. Unfortunetly, he "cannot believe" he caused ALL this! He got the maximum sentence, glad the Judge saw what was up. N-Eways, I just pray now, with this part behind all of us, your Mom can finely find some closure. She is forever changed, but maybe now the healing process can truely begin. Watch over her Deeg, we need you now more than ever. You are truely our gaurdian Angel. Keep an eye on Mark, I am especially worried about him. Love ya kiddo, Tara Claypool |
Dj i know ur in heaven looking down below.just know i miss u and always think of all the great times we use to have together. when we were younger i miss u |
D.J. Its mom I just found this to send you a message i just needed to say I love you I miss you sooo much baby I know you are watching over me but i need you to help me moms having a tough time . I know It wont ever be easy to live without you but please try to help me . I LOVE YOU MOM |

I finally found her! We miss you, talk about you alot. I know you will always be with her but she is sad. You are with the Lord, We will see you again! |
Many candles were lit..too many to count at your one year CANDLE LIGHT VIGIL. I looked at the faces of so many,we all had the common pain...A HOLE IN OUR HEART,where you lived. You touched so many peoples hearts.Your smile lit up a darkened place or some ones bad day.You knew that "To have a friend" "you had to be a friend". You were that guy Loving you eternally....Your other family |

Dear Deeg...
I dont know if you are watching over us, but if you are, I want you to know how much loosing you has broken my heart. I know you remember me, I am a good friend of your Mom's. I learned about you passing away on the news last June (2008). I have been trying to get in touch with your mom ever since. I know she must be devastated. You were literally her whole world. Please watch over her, let her know that you are still with her. My Gosh, it seems only yesterday that I met you & her. You were 5 years old. My heart is broken. You are very much missed.
love you kiddo. Tara, Tony & Anthony jr. |
We miss you |
we weren't "close" friends, but you were my friend and had a great way of making me laugh. we had moments shared together and i'll never forget the laughs we had. you were an amazing boyyy. its stil so unreal your gone. i'll miss you. i love you.<3 |
Everyday that goes by gets harder and harder to except the fact that your gone :( we all miss you so much. you had a huge impact on so many people. its been 7 1/2 months since ive seen you, and i can still feel your big "dj hugs"
every time kristin and i hear "apologize" by one republic we think of you pretending to cut a rope to the sound of the beat like you did all those nights at dragos and on our snowboarding trip we all took up to mt charleston.
your grandma lives on my street and every time i drive past her house, i see all the cars and trucks with RIP "TAPOUT" stickers on the back, and i start to break down.
you are loved and missed so much. ill see you soon. Love you <3 |
Deej i miss you so much brooo ill see you in heaven man <33 |
Dj,
Man what can i say all the great times we had together during our 5 year friendship. All the great times riding quads and dirtbikes. Chillen at school and after school.
i remember great nights we had chillen at Dragos, apex, your moms, and dads. Just wish i could go back to one of those right now. I was there when your truck broke down, and i was also there when you got your new one. You were so excited and i was to cause then i would have to drive my truck around lol.
I remember talking to you that night telling you '' Your gay'' for not hanging out with Me, Cameron, Jesse, Mark all your friends that truly loved you. Just wish i could go back to that day and stop you from doing anything that lead to your death.
It sucks cause everytime i think of the good times it just goes back to the day when i got that call. Your funeral was one of the hardest days i have ever had.
But i hope one day we will see eachother again. Go riding again. Do all the fun stuff we did together. Always in my heart and memories for the rest of my time on this earth
miss you and love you dj
your friend Brendan |

I will never forget you or all the happiness you brought to my life. Through everything you were my support, one of my best friends and the only boy i loved whole heartdly.
Not one day goes by that you not on my mind.
I love you, and always will.

I have been thinking alot about what happened and hope that you are appy up there and that you know we all have you in our thoughts. |
It took me a while to write on this page because I keep telling myself it's not real.
Donald James Jacobson was the most amazing boy I knew. He was one of my best friends I ever had in my whole life. Dj was the one who could brighten anyones day. He knew me like the back of his hadna and was here to catch me every time I fell.
Dj you were there behind me every step of the way, no matter how rocky it got. You were there to bring every smile to my face and catch every tear. Anytime I needed you, you were there. Through the thick and thin we stuck with eachother. You shaped and molded a big part of who I am today. If it wasn't for you I somewhat wouldnt be the Cayla I am today. You knew of my past and my goals and accomplishments. You told me your dreams, plans, and goals for the future. I know you would've accomplished each and every one. I'm sorry you can't anymore. I'm sorry we cant do the things we promised eachother we would, but I'll see you again one day. And I know you'll greet me with a huge Dj hug and that beaufiul smile. Thank you for everything you ever did for me. I apprecite you and everything you brought to my life. I really cant explain to you how much I miss you. There are no words. I would've never thought on April 12, 2008 I would wake up in a panic because one of my best friends passed. It was a complete shock, but God needed you for something babyboy. I know your watching over me and your family and friends wach and every day.
Donald James, My guardian angel. Your my inspiration and what keeps me going. I love you with everything I have. You will never be forgotten. Remember your goofball loves you, forever and ever and ever. And even after that. Rest in peace baby. |

I’d never imagined the day I awoke, to hear the words most good friends spoke,
Rest in peace our boy, with all our heart, these words they seemed to tear us apart,
I began to cry, in udder disbelief, I shook, I screamed… in so much grief,
I’d planned so much for us that was un achieved, Prior to the news I’d just received.
You were one of my bests, to catch me when I fall, and whenever I’d need you all I had to do was call.
God called you in for one last time, I held anger with him as if he‘d committed a serious crime,
The truth was I needed to set you free, I needed to realize your new job was to watch over me.
I watched our friends and your family fill with tears, as they held candles and released balloons reminiscing on all of your past years.
I’ve come to grips that you’re actually gone, You passed away, You’ve floated on.
I’ll never forget you, or the blessings you gave, I look at the ones you’ve left behind and applaud us all for being so brave.
I can say goodbye to you know, because I know forever in my heart, You’ll always be right next to me… no matter how far god brings us to part.
I didn’t know I had it in me to write another, though all within me I’ll forever miss my angel on earth. You bestowed so much wisdom and strength within me, and truly knowing as you passed I was one of your best friends… I love you, and I always will… and as I said before… if god performs weddings… when he calls me home the plans are still set in stone. |
hey big guy,
i miss you so much you have no idea. I cant believe your gone i love you and i know you will still be here for me and i wish i could see your amazing smile and green eyes. I know you are still with me i am so done missin you i'll hang in there and be strong for you big guy. My next fight is for you man. I love you soo much you will never leave my heart. this isnt a "goodbye" t's a "ill see you soon"
Love you bro

so i woke up saturday morning waiting for just a normal day. then i got a phone call from my brother he said that you had passed away and explained to me everything that had happened. i just kinda sat there thinking that he was just lieing and wanted to make me sad. but nope he was telling the truth. i didnt really think about it until later the next day that i am never going to see you and we are never going to have any of the fun memories that we have had in the past ever again. the first time hanging out with you ice skating at the fiesta. dont exactly remember how we got to meeting just remembered you trying to race me at ice skating. then at the desert shores lagoon dunking me and chacing me around it pulling on my foot and trying to race me there. oh yeah and the pizza that we made you drop and you guys still ate it. coming over to my house and chillin by the pool. making fun of jessica because she couldnt get her belly button ring back in. going to the movies and trying to go to burger king but they were closed and you were like who the hell closes on a friday night at 10 so we walked to the gas station and i bought jessica a little box of cheez its and you laughed at her because she thought it was the coolest thing in the world. the power box in front of jessicas house. wow interesting night. who will ever forget that. and then getting in to trouble because i wanted to hangout with you. oh wow. ill never forget that one either. what about the movies. i didnt see you for like 2 months and we went to the movies with jessica courtney and kyle. that was an experience. lol. well i just wanted to let you know that you are going to be missed alot around here. hopefully one day i will see you again. but until then keep us all safe down here. and help out the people that need it. you will always be in my heart. rest in peace buddy. :( |
god bless you DJ.... you were an amazing bestfriend. I couldn't ask for you to be any happier than I know you are In heaven, I'll miss you as the days pass though I'm glad god sent you to all of us to meet and love such an amazing person, In your memory I pray. I'll see you again, and I know you'll guide me through my coming days. Take care up there. |
DJ, I didn't know you, but I saw you around school so many times, that it left an impact on me, and when I found out, all I could see was your smiling face. I know everyone misses you so much. Your whole family and all of your friends are in my prayers, and you certainly won't be forgotten. So watch over the ones you love up there, and someday, we'll see you again.
R.I.P. |
i love you bro ... we all miss you down here.. part of me still doesnt wanna believe it but i know its a reality... its hard for us but we know your are in a better place, well see you again |

DJ,
As Sam's mom, I have to tell you how very proud I was of you and that you were Sam's life long friend. Even when you were in different circles you were there for her. Fot that I will always love you. You were an amazing boy and your parents need to be very very proud of who you became and the fact that you were never afraid to give your true friends a hug (or me for that matter) and tell them you love them. That is something I will always remember. Sam is going to miss you so much. Please watch over her. We will never forget you and what you stood for. Damn the person who took you from us. |
