“Susan” and Herbie, it was my privilege and honor to have known and taken care of a wonderful young man like Dale. I always enjoyed our conversation, his stories cracked me up. I know I became a nurse just so I could meet DJ. The Islanders couldn’t have had a bigger and better fan. My prayers and love are always with you, Kelly and Herb

Kelly and Herb I can’t express how profoundly sorry I am for your loss. Meeting and knowing Dale has brightened my life. I only knew him for a short while but, I will forever remember his great stories, his strength, his humor, but most of all his love for you. You are in my prayers.

Kelly and Herbie, The world has changed. Devastation is real. Hearts are broken. We were blessed with an Angel but God needed him back. He has another job to do.. We will cherish our memories forever.. The haircuts, the hugs, the sweetness and the laughs... As lucky as we were for our time together DJ was just as lucky to have the most amazing parents.. It was so refreshing to see two people come together and be parents with open arms! The three of you were a team! I admired the love.. We will heal together.. We love you guys. ❤️ Su and John

My Dearest DJ,
You were not only our "Great" Nephew, you were our Godchild; the kindest, gentlest and most loving boy I have ever met. Your intelligence and dry sense of humor not only impressed us but kept us laughing. You touched and inspired more people in your 19 years then most people do in a lifetime. Your strength was admirable to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing you. We miss and love you so much, our families loss is monumental. Love always, Aunt Gogie and Uncle Eddie

My deepest and heartfelt condolences to the Lillibridge family. I had the privilege of teaching Dale at Bay Shore High School. He was an exceptional student, intelligent, humble and dedicated. He was a leader and an amazing role model. Dale was one of those students that when he spoke, everyone listened. Students and faculty alike admired his work ethic, his dry sense of humor and passion for hockey. I loved that Dale always got my jokes. One class in particular was a bit rambunctious, but Dale would give me a smile and make me feel like there was hope and I was doing something right. He was my little beacon of light in that group. No matter how tough the curriculum or his treatments were, he never ever complained. He tackled everything and took so much pride in his work. Dale taught me how to live. Dale will always be remembered for his kindness and thoughtfulness. I am forever touched by his thoughtfulness, genuine heart and his kindness towards me. Love, Mrs. Fagan

You were like a son to me. I loved watching you grow and accomplish so much in life. You were so brave and nothing ever stopped you from accomplishing your goals. My best memory with you was when we went shopping on block Friday and pulled an old nighter. Because of you, I learned to be a happier person as you thought me not to be afraid as what life my bring. I love you with all my heart.
Love
Aunt Wanda

I was truly shocked and saddened to hear of your son’s passing. Our deepest condolences go out to you Kelly & Herbie, the Smith & Lillibridge families. I heard DJ was a young man that although dealing with cancer took it in stride, smiled & never complained and that he had a great outlook on life. It sounds like he was an amazing person. Take comfort that he is no longer in pain or suffering. May DJ rest in eternal heavenly peace and may God comfort you all in this time of great sorrow.

Our Hearts hurt for the loss of our awesome Great Nephew and Cousin DJ and for his loving family.
DJ is the Heart and Soul of his loving Parents, Herbie and Kelly. Their loss is immense and there will never be words to heal their pain.
We can only offer our Prayers, love and support to them during their grief.
In our Hearts, we know DJ is now in the safe care of our Lord, and his loving Grandparents, Pauline and Herb.
DJ was a bright, loving, intelligent, compassionate young man and above all brave.
He fought the good fight with strength, dignity, courage and smiles. He never gave up and we stood proud when DJ received his High School Diploma.
He loved sports and race cars and was a great sportsman himself. He shared his love of the Islanders and going to games with his loving, sports enthusiast grandmother. They make an awesome team.
We will never stop missing, loving and thinking of our DJ. His memory will be honored and cherished forever. He is a special kid and serves as an example to all of us. Whatever life throws at you, never stop loving and dreaming.
Rest In Peace our love.
Prayers for his beautiful loving Parents.
Forever in our Hearts. Love you,
Aunt Dee, Uncle Chris, Cousins Alexis and Christina xoxoxoxo

DJ was my nephew, friend and inspiration. With all he went through you never heard him complain . Regardless how hard his day went he would either watch his beloved islanders or look and smell good for the girls. I’m so sorry Kelly and Herb. We will always be there for you
