Dakota enjoyed many outdoor activities i.e.: cruising the back roads “crash” jamming to music, swimming, bbq’s, playing darts, bowling, pool, horseshoes, fishing, hunting with his dad, making people laugh & especially teasing his nieces & nephews and hanging out with his BFF/cousins: Ruth Payne, Ashley Calder, Catherine WhiteEagle, Beth Beauchamp & Autumn Beauchamp, along with many others. Dakota was known for being the life of the party.
