Though he had many hobbies, DJ’s passion was basketball, and he held a prominent position with the semi-pro basketball team The Omaha Cuttaz. DJ loved food as much as he loved life. If there’s a barbeque, DJ is there. If there’s a gathering taking place with food, DJ will be there whether he knew you or not grinning from ear to ear.
