"That's Life" were my 35 year old son, Alton "Dunnie" Wooten, Jr.'s favorite words. But someone took his life away while he was walking the streets of Los Angeles. The police said it was the result of a gang initiation. These pictures represent the short life he lived. As you can see, he loved life.
Also included are pictures of Alton with his daughter, Waniesha, now 24 years old an an architecture major in Dallas Texas.
