One of his Coffee shop employees, Hannah Bahret wrote on Facebook and remembered her boss as a great man :
My heart is so heavy. This man was much more than “my boss from the coffee shop”. So much of myself, including my work ethic and ability to build relationships with customers, has been shaped by Dirk. This describes the best parts of him so well it makes me cry.
I was 15 when I started working at Dayton’s Coffee and stayed for over 16 years. Over the years, Dirk showed up for me (and many other Dirkettes) in ways that are beyond expectation.
I love you Dirk Dayton ❤️
To Maryann Dayton— it is not lost on me that you are equally responsible for so many of my great experiences.
You are and will always continue to be a bright light in my life and I love you through and through ❤️From co-signing loans, doing our taxes, and helping us build connections for future careers, he always did what was best for us. He witnessed typical teenage girl drama, and even supported us through the not-so-typical challenges brought by life.
