George, Tom, Rusty, and family,
So sorry to hear of Danny's passing. Upon reading his obituary, I learned of his skills and talent, his love of his family and their love of him. Even upon his death he is giving to others.
A son to be proud of. ❤

Dear Shani And Family, Words really cant say how sorry we are to hear of your sweet Dan's passing. We always loved Dan from the first time we met him when you were just kids. He fit so well into our family from day one. How can we ever forget his big blue eyes , great sense of humor, and that mischievous grin but most of all his willingness to except people just as they were. May Gods peace be with you now and in the days ahead. Love Uncle George And Aunt Jean

As I tried to sit and share my sympathy for his family I found myself in tears. There's no words to say how sad I am for Dan and his family. Especially his beautiful girls that he was so clearly proud of. He was a great guy and an awesome father.
I pray for you all. May you find peace that surpasses all understanding.

In remembrance of you Daniel, and may this candle serve as a symbol of the light you brought to me and so many others. You had a great sense of humor but also several other wonderful traits which you chose to keep a mystery, and only allow very few in to know about.
Thank you for caring enough to let me be one of the fortunate ones.
Rest in eternal peace. You will never be forgotten. We shall meet again.
