I am saddened beyond words. DB brought both Ryan and Zachary (Bristol) to Christ at Meadows.
He was an example of what a real man of a God was.
I know he's with Christ. I also know Christ is with you at this difficult. ..beyond words. ...time.
You and your family are in our prayers!

As others have expressed their sadness and sympathy, we too are in sorrow over DBs passing. Our hearts grieve for you all. Your family has been a blessing to us both in Missouri and Ohio. If we had words that could provide you the same comfort now, we would say them but our own fail us. But we have a sure and certain hope of the Resurrection unto eternal life, through our Lord Jesus Christ, at whose coming in glorious majesty those who sleep in Him shall be changed, and be made like unto His glorious body according to the mighty working whereby He is able to subdue all things unto himself. To you, Allison, William, Graham and your entire extended combined families, your grief and comfort occupy our prayers.

Dearest George, Rhoda, Shelly, and Angie & all Antrim family, You are in our prayers for the God of all Comfort to comfort your hearts, giving you supernatural strength and peace in the challenging days ahead. We treasure memories of times together at Chapel of the Lake, of Wentzville School events, of living as "almost neighbors" at Lake St. Louis as our children/now adults grew up. We love you dearly, forever. Precious Allison, William and Graham--love & prayers from your S.C. "unmet" friends in Christ.

Antrim Family,
We are so very sorry for your loss and have been praying for you all with the passing of DB. May God's unending comfort and strength be in and over all of you in the coming days. My sisters and I have many great memories of hanging out at the Antrim house on Rue Grande, band trips and prom with DB, Angie and other friends from Chapel of the Lake church during the Antrim's Wentzville High Days. Your family and DB was such a blessing to us during those years.
