Dakota was born in Fishersville, Virginia on August 24, 2003, the son of Kirk Patrick Humphries and Cherish Dawn

Dakota was a member of Village Church, a 2022 graduate of Buffalo Gap High School where he ran track, cross-country,
and was a member of the FFA, and employed atAmazon. He enjoyed spending his time outside, hunting, fishing, farming,
and working on his truck. Dakota loved his music loud and was known to be unable to finish a song; changing it to the
next when only halfway through. You would always see Dakota with a smile on his face. He never met a stranger and was
often eager and willing to help others. Dakota oozed with enthusiasm and love for others. He had many nicknames, one
being Cooter Johnson. Dakota was loving to his family and his presence on earth will be greatly missed.
