Dan was a delightful human being. What I remember most about him is his wonderful sense of humor and his smile. He joined our family on several camping trips. His passing was deeply felt by this family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sincerely,
Roberta Robinson

Dan was one of the best friends I have ever known. His attitude and strength over the past several years were truly inspiring. Cancer may have defeated his body but it never touched his soul. I feel blessed to have been a part of his life and will carry the lessons I learned from him for the rest of my life. Thank you Dan.

My family was greatly saddened to hear of Dan's passing. We knew him when he was in high school and our son went camping with him and mutual friends. We remember him as a sweet, funny and overall delightful young man. The family has our most sincere sympathy.

Dear Fennessy Family, we met and enjoyed the spunkiness of Dan when he was in his early teens. What a beautiful face ~ and now his face is that of an angel. May your beautiful family feel the warmth and prayers of those many people out there, ourselves included, who are praying for and with you, as you wrap your arms around each other and share in the memories of this spirited young man who left your side way too soon. God Bless Dan and God Bless each and every member of your family.
