When asked who is your hero, some people may reply Superman, Spiderman, mom or dad, but to the Oliver family their hero is 12 year-old Dakovyon Oliver, better known as "Doodie." Doodie woke up Monday night around 1:00 AM because he smelled smoke. Thinking it smelled like bacon, he went into the kitchen where he saw a big flame. His father heard him and came running into the kitchen. Doodie ran to wake up his younger brother Tray and then his grandfather. After determining everyone was safe, they each ran to the front yard to safety.
Dakovyon is the son of Anthony Oliver and Tiffany Berry. They are both grateful for his brave act of courage. He is a sixth grader at Luverne School. He has been commended for his act of heroism by his teachers and classmates.
If interested in contributing to the family, please contact Luverne Elementary School.
