but the upmost respect and much love for you all...
To my friend Dimitri,
You were such a special person.
God took the best when taking you. In knowing you, I'm a better person. My heart is broken, Babe. There can never be another
like you. This world just won't be the same without you. I will never forget the times we spent. May God keep you and
your family in his loving arms until we meet again....I will miss you my sweet friend.

| | December 11, 2008 | | We have known Dimitri through Deanna and Jimmy since our children were little. Katie
and Thomas played with Anna and Paul and Dimitri was always in the middle of any activities. It was a contest between Paul
and Dimitri as to which one would get into the most mischief. Twenty years have passed since those days and one always remembers
Dimitri. He had such a fun loving attitude. It is not surprising he became a wonderful young man pursuing his dreams in life.
Our hearts go out to the Giatas family. Our problems seem trivial compared to your loss. Please know you and Dimitri are in
our prayers | | | Jan, Toby, Katie, Thomas Harrah

I am saddened beyond words to hear of your passing. Even though
it had been awhile since the last time we saw you, you were still in our thoughts. I know you were one of Jesse's best
friends in high school and he loved you like a brother. He misses you so much! He was always hoping to just run into you and
to be able to catch up and him tell you about our kids. As for me, I will probably miss your smile and laugh the most! I am
so sorry for your family's loss and wish them the strength and courage to get through this difficult time.
With
Love,

It was with great sadness that we heard about Dimitri's
passing. We along with everyone else that met Dimitri will always remember his beautiful smile. Zorbas is our favorite restaurant
and we spend many a Friday nights with friends there. Dimitri's smile was as much a part of Zorbas as you both are. We
will think of him everytime we walk through Zorba's doors. May God's grace be with you and your family.

I remember babysitting you and your sister Loria and your brother
Al when you were a little boy. As you grew into a handsome young man, I only ever knew you as smiling and happy and easy going
and having fun with those around you. I know I have never attended a sadder funeral than yours and that is because you were
deeply loved and cherished by countless people; people who came from all over, even as far away as Greece who knew you and
who know your family. You will continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who knew you. You will never be forgotten and
you will forever be missed and loved.
To your parents Paul & Sally and Cindy & Carlos. To your sister
and brother Loria & Al. To your grandmother, Mrs. Guiatas. To my sister, your Aunt Deanna & your Uncle Jimmy. To your
cousins Anna & Paul. And To all of your other family members who I have never met:
Bob and I are sincerely sorry
for the loss of Dimitri. We will all continue to keep his memory alive to our families for generations and we will all look
forward to being reunited with Dimitri when it is our time to meet up with him again. With much love and sympathy, | | | Sue and Bob Burton (Austin, TX)

| | December 5, 2008 | | You will be forever missed, most of all I will miss your beautiful smile. The last
time I saw you the first thing out of your mouth was "I LOVE YOU, girl" followed by a really big hug and I said
as I normally do, "I love you too, Boo-Boo!" It was almost as if you knew you would be getting your wings soon.
It has been a pleasure knowing you. It gives me peace knowing that I have yet another angel watching over me.
To
the family: God be with you, as I know this is a trying time. Although, we don't always understand God's plans, as
believers we have to know that when we hear Him say "Well done, Thy good and faithful servant, come up and get your just
reward", our work here on earth is done. Take comfort in knowing that Dimitri is now one of God angels. | | | Tameca Colbert (Arlington, TX) |

He was always so sweet and genuine; often I think 'What a great guy'. Despite not knowing him well, one could tell
he cared deeply for his family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time. | | | Jessica Arguijo (Fort Worth, TX) |

here on earth but, knowing your mom, my cousin, Cindy and you brother, my cousin, Al, I am sure and without a doubt that you

| | December 5, 2008 | | Dimitri,
You were such a wonderful soul, still are and always will be.
I never remember you not smiling; you always were. Your heart extended to those around you and your family. You personality
will always touch us, everyone who you met and were dear to. Your presence will never be forgotten, as it filled every space
you walked in with a sense of joy and excitement. You always knew how to make a situation from being bad and turn it around
for good, even when others couldn’t. Outgoing, spontaneous, and caring, your heart was unique. Everything about you
was special. Dimi, say hello to my mother and give her a big hug and kiss from me, and ask her to make you the same Tiropita
she always made for us when you came to visit when we were younger.
You will live forever in my heart, prayers
and thoughts.
With Love,

great life is in heaven!
