Here's
a [slightly refined] quote from the speech i gave a Dirk's funeral:
"I
eventually came to realize that Dirk needed me as a friend first and a
resource second, always. His friendship was persistent. If I wasn’t doing
things to make myself happy in life, he would ask why. Actually, he wouldn’t
stop asking why, and he had no intention of ever ceasing to ask why until
solutions were found. He did this even when it made me uncomfortable,
and rocked my boat. I would proverbially kick and scream, but he didn’t
mind. Sometimes he knew he needed to back off a bit, but just a bit, and
just for a little while. But, as I did not flat-out tell him to go away,
he didn’t. He knew that disrupting my comfort level at that particular
point in time was for the greater good of giving me a longer and more
deep-seated happiness, and to me, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
that’s what a convictive friend does. He was caring, kind, and convictive,
he loved his family and friends, and he was a great man. Remember him
that way; I know I will, if for no other reason, than for this reason:
because he would've wanted me to...and after all he did for me, it’s the
least I could do for him."
See, going back and re-reading it,
it reminded me of a Woodrow Wilson quote which I recently discovered and
have decided is one of my favorites now: “I would rather lose in a cause
that will someday win, than win in a cause that will someday lose.” I
relate that quote to Dirk and what his friendship meant to me. He believed
in me, and his good intentions kept him being my friend even when I was
giving him garbage bags full of reasons to stop being my friend. His cause
was maintaining a meaningful relationship with me, and his mindset was
to rather give me slack and take $!&% from me here & there, for now, because
he felt it would pay off later. It did pay off later, because I came to
see what he was doing, and I communicated to him that I understood and
appreciated it, and we used that as one of many building blocks with which
to keep building our friendship. Even now, the slack he gave me pays off
for me, in a way, because I’m still finding important enlightenment from
the friendship he and I had. The cost of this, though, is indeed tragic,
and that’s where the part of Dirk “losing” comes in. This is because he
lost his life, by trying to go into business with somebody who he knew
was mentally rough around the edges, but he was willing to give a chance
to because he also believed in the cause of giving people opportunities
when nobody else will. So that’s two ways in which he lost, but those
ways played into his belief in greater causes for the future of a world
where virtue spreads and people help and believe in each other. This is
the greater cause which he steadfastly worked toward even when, in many
ways, there was no immediate payoff for him. This is just one or two of
the ways in which I find undying inspiration from Dirk. I'm working on
writing a book about consideration, and undoubtedly, the essence of Dirk
will be "riding it" on nearly every page.

While I did not know Dirk, I was a close high school friend of Evelyn's.
Wondering about my old friend, I started searching the internet for a
way to contact her. Needless to say, I learned of this shocking tragedy
during my search. My deepest sympathy to his friends and family.

Hello
Rodney, Mary, Family and Friends of Dirk.
I Did not know Dirk well.
On the occasions that we met, I found him to be a good man. He looked
me in the eye when he spoke to me and He had opinions that were worth
sharing. I hope people can say as much about me. I believe that eternal
life is found in the hearts and minds of the people that know us. When
family and friends gather, the stories and memories sharred will manifest
the spirit of those departed.

If only those who knew the truth would have spoken. Behind light there
is darkness. Behind symbols there is insanity. To become a matyr of your
own making and your own delusions. That is not right...

in
my current college courses, i'm learning a lot about philosophy, sociology,
and communication. i'm learning how to speak and type with less clutter
(finally! haha), i'm learning about ancient greek philosophers...and i
wish dirk was still around so he could see how i'm learning and evolving,
and so he and i could still bounce ideas off each other. i think about
it all the time. he'd probably say "yeah, aerostotle...nice kind, but
BORING!"

I was a friend of Evelyn (Dirk's fiance). I was very shocked to find out
about this tragedy. My deepest sympathies go to you, Megan, and the rest
of your family. This site is a beautiful tribute.

I just wanted to say that this was a beautiful job done in memory of Dirk.
It truely made me feel like I could of known him. Dirk shares his birthdate
with my daughter who turns 16 this year and Meagan and I share a birthday.
I found that unusal but very cool. God bless all of you whom Dirk knew,
may the memory of his life bring you many smiles.

I knew Dirk through his Hegemon Alliance work in clan Kryn, we spoke comfortably
many times, and he has been a recurring character in my dreams since,
I miss that time.

To Dirk's wonderful family and dear friends... I am thinking of Dirk
and his kind nature and contagious sense of humor. He should not have
been taken from us. I just know that he wants us all to heal somehow
from this deep wound left in our hearts. Our memories are filled with
the laughter and good cheer he brought to us during his short life. Though
hard to embrace, especially now, I'm hoping these memories can overcome
our tears and help us all find peace.

It has been one year since Dirk died, and it is still hard to believe.
I miss my cousin, and it seems, that the more i think about what happened,
the angrier i get. I feel bad for Megan, she is so young, and she shouldn't
have to go through this. I want to help megan as she get's older, i want
her to know her dad, and i hope that my aunt mary will let me, i have
stories from when i was little, of when i would hang out with dirk. and
when megan is old enough to understand, i want to tell them to her. I
loved Dirk, and I still do. and i am going to give as much love to Megan
as i have dirk. I miss you Dirk, and I know you are watching over all
of us.

Dearest Mary, I just found out about this; I'm still in shock and disbelief.
Dirk was so sweet, so kind, he loved his work, his family... He had an
amazing, creative mind -- an author could give him an idea, or if not,
then he'd just think about the title, the story and create fantastic artwork
and I don't recall anyone ever being disappointed with his work. He had
a great sense of humor, an impish side, too, that I used to like to play
with, even just over the phone. I remember his integrity, always wanting
to do things right, willing to do whatever it took to make it right, no
matter what that "it" was. He treated everyone with kindness and respect.
Best, I remember his hugs... He was as fine a young man as anyone could
want to know, and to say this is a devastating loss just isn't enough;
there aren't enough right words... My love and prayers to you, Rodney,Wayne,
and all the family...

Dearest Mary: I'm so sorry to hear of your [son], Dirk, being taken so
young. I just learned of this today, June 23, 2006. I'm just devastated
by your loss. You and your family worked so wonderfully on VALKYRIE and
you're fair/honest. How something this brutal could happen to Dirk, is
just beyond me. You are all in my prayers. Warmly, Lindsay

Since Dirk recently moved so much closer to me I had been planning on
going to talk to him as soon as I got a chance about big ideas and making
them happen. I was hoping to get some of his ideas and inspiration to
rub off on me. Of course I would have much rather have had many of those
conversations, though he really does continue to inspire me even through
his death.

Dirk
designed my ebook cover, Heal The Child (Debra Dawn Thomas). Though I
didn't know him personally, I'm grateful to have a piece of his creativity
connected to my writing. I send my prayers to Mary, and his family.
I'm sorry this was late coming... I didn't know until today.

I knew Dirk quite well. I met him through Jamie and Jonah (my brother).
He was an amazing man, that never got to full live out his life. I will
miss Dirk deeply and I wish all the best for his parents and Megan. R.I.P
Dirk.....We miss you!
