Dwight was born May 22, 1956, in Lamesa. He was a 1974 graduate of Hobbs High School, a graduate of NMJC and had a B.A. from UTA. On Christmas Day 1985 he met his wife of 26 years, had three beautiful, smart and loving children. He loved spending time with his family laughing, camping, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, riding his HOG and being active with Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts of America, until he became too ill to continue these activities. Dwight was a family-oriented man, with a large family who had incredible love for one another. He enjoyed the family gatherings, worship, and traveling here and abroad. His last trip to Alaska this summer was a dream come true: deep-sea salmon fishing. His other love was guitars and music in which he formed another loving family with the Texas Gathering Group. This group spent many hours encouraging him in his playing and writing music. They also spent many hours at the hospital with inspiration and music that never failed to uplift him. Dwight found good things in every person he met. He spent many years educating high school students in computer science. He was a technology specialist for his campus. He loved teaching the guitar and robotic clubs at his school. He had students lining up to take his classes because he made them laugh and feel good about themselves.
