Anameka, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I adored Dontae and respected his work ethic and all he did to represent himself as a strong and genuine man, husband, and father. I live near D.C. now and placed a flag to honor him with so many others at the memorial on the grounds of the National Monument. Love and best wishes to you and Wiz.

Anameka I am so very sorry to hear this sad news. I haven't seen you in a while, but you will always be one of my favorites. I know this seems unbearable right now, but in the coming days and years the pain will be easier to bear. Keep your memories of your precious husband close, knowing that you will one day be reunited. You know I'm praying for you and your family sweet girl. I love you always.....

He was a machine operator for Fiber International in Jacksonville, an international wood export firm. Away from work, Dontaé was often found doing one or more of those things he loved so much. Whether it was grilling with family and friends, producing music, or playing basketball he always had a good time. He especially enjoyed his family.
He was light-hearted and always quick with a smile. He will always be remembered for his saying of “Swizzle” and the hand gesture which went with it.
