“My baby boy was at the starting line with so much life ahead of him… I have no idea why things like this happen. We’re in complete shock and don’t know what the future holds.

Dorian was a true poet from the moment he first spoke, according to Ben Kweller, who said that he wrote and taped songs every single day. Only a few of his recordings, in his opinion, had been made public, but he was on a journey and enthusiastic about it, and he was also pleased that his son had so many ideas.

Dorian is survived by his parents and younger brother, Judah.
