During his time in Manhattan he met his wife Betty Lou Skiles of Plano, Texas and they were married in 1963. The couple relocated to Ann Arbor, Michigan where they had their only child, Dan in 1969. Dwight worked for the University of Michigan and affiliated entities over the years and was resident of Ann Arbor for over 50 years and considered it his home.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Daniel and Martha Bornemeier and his wife Betty Lou. Dwight had a bright smile and eyes, and never met a stranger. He was naturally inquisitive and fond of asking countless questions, mostly involving numbers so he could figure out how everything in the world worked via math and physics. Dwight was a role model, a man of great self-discipline and of his word. His handshake meant everything. He was a kind soul, a beloved father, grandfather and great grandfather and a servant of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
