Dwight was my “Poppy”. I loved him very much. Him and Dianne took me in when my mother and father couldn’t stay home with me, I was an infant. They took care of me as their own, and a tragic accident happened to where I was not permitted to see them anymore. He was an amazing man. One of my fond memories of him was when I was around 5 or 6, and he helped me set up our water slide. I miss him a lot. -Sophia McGoldrick
I served with LTC Cheatham in the 298th CSB. I would like for his family to know that he helped a lot of people over the years and his actions continue to benefit people to this day and will into the future. He helped me with a slot in the Guard, I was able to use my Post 9/11 GI Bill to help get my daughter through pharmacy school. She is able to benefit others on medical mission trips. All because of a decision he made back in December 1988. He was a good guy and I have lots of fond memories from those days. I am saddened to hear of his passing. My prayers are with his family.
My condolences. The time will come when all sickness, suffering and death will be gone forever. Revelation 21:4 Look to God for comfort. He will hear your prayers. Psalm 65:2
I am truly sorry for your loss. May you find comfort and peace from knowing that during such difficult times God is close to you (Psalm 34:18).
