Daisey was like a light in the dark, shining just because he could.
I didn't know him for long but I will always remember him as the charismatic prankster that you couldn't stay mad at.
Rest easy my friend!

Daniel Daisey was a teammate of mine during my years at Shenandoah University. I am truly honored to have known him and am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Daniel had a certain charisma about him and anytime he walked into a room he made the room a little brighter. I will always think of Daniel in high regards and am a better person for knowing him. May you fly high and within God's grace, my friend.

I want to say thank you for being a friend and a teammate, especially one that had no business in long distance running like me. Wish I could be there to say goodbye. Love you buddy.
