They were married in August 1990.
The couple shared the joy of three daughters, but Dawnell was battling kidney failure and the couple's relationship turned shaky.

Dawnell repaid his gesture by first sleeping with her physical therapist - and then denying him access to their three kids in an increasingly bitter divorce.
