Mr. Daniels was an amazing husband, father and friend. He loved his family more than anything else in this world. He loved me like a second daughter and I am so thankful to have so many memories with him and his wonderful family! I will never forget our numerous softball tournament trips down south with the JFRD softball team - he was one hell of a pitcher and batter, that apple didn't fall far from that tree, his daughter Jenny definitely has that skill too. Our summer breaks from school when he would come get me when he got off shift at the fire station and take Jenny and me to the movies or just around town to get us out of the house. He was an amazing man who had an even more amazing heart. He loved unconditionally and never met a stranger. Mr. Daniels you will be missed but NEVER forgotten and you will continue to live through your loved ones.

Ms. Daniels, Forest, Jenny,
I know right now nothing makes sense and I wish I could take your pain away. Please find peace in knowing that that sweet man is no longer in pain and he loved you all dearly. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

Love you guys!
Jenn
