Rest in peace, Dexter.
I wish I had something comforting to say for his family, but all I have is that I will always remember Dexter fondly. He was a very likeable guy.

He was an awesome guy. So sorry to hear this. Prayers for him and his family.

Sorry to hear, Dexter was always a fun guy easy to B/S with and a friend. My thoughts and prayers are with his family

I’m friends with Dexter back in college. We graduated from the same Physical Therapy school. We lost touch after graduation. Settled and raised our families. We exchanged few text messages recently but never discussed and knew that we were into the same hobby. I attended his viewing today and talking to some common friends that I haven’t seen for years, I found out that Dexter and I enjoy the same hobby. I’m also reefer from Pittsburgh Pa. Im sad that I missed the opportunity to share the passion of this hobby with him. We could’ve been trading frags or sharing techniques of reef keeping. I’m sorry Dex.
Rest In Peace my dear friend.

Any friend of Dexter's is okay in my book. I offer condolences, as I share your loss.
I hope that you will return to Reef Central to share reef keeping advice and tribulations, but more so, I hope you'll return to this particular forum to share your times with Dex before we knew him. We just might come up with a few memories of our own to bring a smile to your face.

ReyesOzaeta · 09/08/2018, 10:23 PM

Ofcourse I’ll return to reef central. You can always learn something new from other reefers.
I have made few “quick tips” and set ups on YouTube: ReyesOzaeta Reef. You can check them out. I would love to know Dexters memories in your reefing community back when he was still around. Please share. Thanks! I miss the dude.
