Adam I'm here for the good and the bad. you're one of the best people I know and I am 100% sure that Daniel's talent and spirit had everything to do with the love you lavished on him and that spirit will always be seated firmly on your shoulder.

I moved to Minneapolis in the early 90's and spent a good amount of my summer days at the beach on Lake Calhoun. One late afternoon I saw Adam stroll onto the beach, wearing jeans, boots, a t-shirt and a curly haired kid stuck to one leg, a boy that I now know must have been Daniel. He tossed his soaking wet and giggling little boy in the air over and over until they both collapsed into the sand, only to start the whole process over again. I don't know Adam personally, but hearing this news takes me back to that beautiful day in the sun when there was nothing but pure joy in the air. My heart and wishes go out to Adam and family.

While I cannot fully conceive of the grief of losing a child, I have suffered the tragedy of walking through the passing of several close friends and a lover who passed “before their time.� The loss of a young life cuts in such a different manner than those whom have gracefully aged and walked through the various epochs of life. Breathe deep brother, celebrate what was great (it will always be there) and trust he's in a better place. Understand that you will undeniably carry and transmit a piece of him wherever you go. He appears to have been quite the spirited seeker. If you need anything don't hesitate to reach out. godBless, .pd.

I had the pleasure of teaching Dan in 5th grade at Lake Avenue School. Even then, I could see the caring, bright, artistic, inquisitive child behind the big brown eyes. He definitely stood out in the classroom and was liked by all. To Dan's parents and family, you have my very deepest sympathies at this time.

Dear Adam and family,

I worked with Adam for many years. Daniel was born during this time and Adam brought Daniel to the office a lot. Everyone would stop everything and gather around this adorable little boy. He was Adam's pride and joy! I will always remember Daniel's endearing spirit. I wish Daniel peace.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish you comfort and strength during this very difficult time. Sharon Hansen

His heart is broken today as he learned about Daniel. There are no words to take away your pain, I am so very very sorry. If there is anything I or Daniel can do for you or any of your family, please let us know. You are all in our thoughts and prayers not only today but always. May God hold Daniel in the palm of is hand. His memory will live in my Daniels heart always, and I know that Daniel will be forever greatful he got to know your Daniel. With love and sympathy, Leeann Hoffstrom and family
