I just heard the sad news of Dwight's passing. Dwight was such a kind man and always had a smile on his face. Dwight was a great asset to our Company (Ana-Lab) and was so helpful to share his great knowledge of chemistry with others. We were all saddened to learn of his illness while he worked here. His positive attitude and continual smile was an encouragement to everyone. We rejoice in knowing that he no longer struggles with illness and walks in Glory with his Lord and Savior. Many prayers for his family during this difficult time.

I had the privilege of being Dwight's supervisor when he came to Ana-Lab a few years ago. It was such a humorous situation, since I was a retired Physical Education teacher who had learned to run a few tests and he was a brilliant chemist; in spite of the oddity of that, we had a great relationship and enjoyed our time as coworkers and friends.
He was truly a wonderful man who displayed the fruits of the Spirit in his daily life. My condolences to his family. May God grant you that special peace that passes our feeble understanding and provide you comfort in time of grieving. As for Dwight, he is worshipping at the throne - Hallelujah!

I am so sorry to hear of Dwight’s passing. I have very fond memories of the Slaback family from the early 1970’s. Prayers for all the family through this difficult time.
Rest in Peace Dwight. Thank you for the sweet things you had to say about my Phillip who went before you. You were truly a kind and thoughtful Man. May God bless all of your Family.
I am Sallie Baxter married to Dwight’s cousin Alan Baxter. I remember in 2001 Dwight made the trip to our home in Quinlan for our daughter Amber’s high school graduation party. It was the first time I met him and I felt so touched that he came for Amber’s day.
Dwight served as an usher at our wedding. He was approachable & likable. He had a fun laugh, & he loved to send Peanuts Christmas cards.
Dwight was easy to talk to, & he was a very kind person. We shared Christmas parties, camp-outs & other fun times together. We are both glad to have known him. We look forward to seeing him again one day.
With sincere sympathy,
Weldon & Julie Mc.
Dwight was a faithful friend. I met him at Longhorn Army Ammunition Plant in the early 1980s when he began working for Thiokol Corporation. I worked as a chemical engineer and Dwight worked as a chemist. Thus, we interfaced on various projects.
I remember visiting him at this home in Hallsville, Texas, and he would visit me at my home in Marshall, Texas. We went out to eat together. I enjoyed our fellowship because we could talk about the Lord Jesus Christ.
After I moved back to Colorado, Dwight invited me on a ski trip and after that I invited him and his Texas friends to ski in Breckenridge, Colorado several times. We used a condo my parents had part ownership in. Fred, Dwight’s brother joined us, too. I have fond memories of the ski trips.
I was able to visit with Dwight’s sister, Kim, recently about Dwight. It was glad I was able to meet her via a phone conversation.
On my visits to East Texas, after I moved back to Colorado, Dwight was very hospitable and let me stay with him. I went to church with him at Mobberly Baptist Church and witnessed him teaching Sunday School. It was great to fellowship with Dwight and his friends from church.
I will miss my good friend, Dwight, but I do not want him back on this earth. He is God’s son and I am so thankful he was my good friend. We will meet again someday where there will be no more sickness, sin, or pain. We will get to talk to Jesus together. In Christ, we have much to look hope and a great future!
I know I can conclude by stating Dwight lived a life that glorified Christ. He was a man of integrity.
