Dakota was a graduate of Fairfield High School in Fairfield, IL. After high school, he went to work at TBIN for close to seven months, until he joined the team at Toyota. Dakota loved classic muscle cars. He had a dream of opening up a shop with his dad where they could restore old muscle cars. His dream car was a 1969 B5 Blue Dodge Charger. Dakota was one of the most positive and upbeat people you could know. He always had a smile on his face, and always tried to make everyone laugh. Dakota knew how to cut up and have fun. He also enjoyed video games with friends from everywhere on the PlayStation and computer. He met so many good friends that way. Dakota also loved to go fishing and going to the gun range. At a young age, he found the love of his life, Dariean Parsley. Dakota was just a great guy. A truly wonderful son, grandson, nephew, cousin, fiancé, and friend.
