To the family and friends of 1st Lt. Daniel Farkas:
It has truly been my honor to sign Daniel's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Daniel will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Farkas Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

Daniel,

We were in Officer Basic together and you were always there to give a kind word or a gentle smile and tell me to hang in there.

I pray that you are at peace and that your family and loved ones can be at peace as well

Wishing you my sincerest condolences. I too lost my brother and friend on April 6, 2008 (Major Stuart Adam Wolfer, KIA Baghdad, Iraq). Words cannot describe the pain I still feel and the loss I still endure. May Daniel's memory be for a blessing to all that new and loved him.

Remembering you and praying you rest in peace..........missed greatly.

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen

My heart felt sympathy goes to Danny's family. He was too perfect for this world. He will truly be missed. We were neighbors! Great guy!

To the family and parents of Daniel I want you to know that you are not alone in the grief you are feeling. I too know what you are going through and what you will go through in the coming weeks and months ahead. You will have many questions as to why? You will have many things to get ready or go through and that should be done in time. Sometimes it just can’t be faced and that’s ok, for you will know when the time is right for you. There is no right or wrong way to grieve it’s an individual journey that unfortunately we now have to take. I ask that God give the comfort, strength and courage that you are going to need. When and if the time is right for you please contact me. You can cry, vent, or just talk as only another person who has been where you are can really know what you are going through. May God continue to be with you and heal you.

In memory of my son

KIA 11/12/06 Samarra, Iraq
82nd Airborne 2-505th PIR

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

May God comfort and bless the Farkas family in your time of great sorrow. Thank you for your heroic and selfless service to our country, Daniel. Rest with Jesus now.

To the family and friends of fallen hero 1LT Farkas....I am so sorry for your loss. May God bring you peace and comfort during this very difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. He will not be forgotten. God Bless You.

To the Farkas Family: Danny and I were in a gym class together for track. At one particular meet that we ran against each other as the anchor leg in a relay, I came in first. We shared a sheepish laugh about that he was beaten by a girl. Occasionally, over the years, I would repeat that story when reminiscing about my speed in my youth. I was delighted to learn that Danny that he surpassed the physical challenges he undertook later in life. My deepest condolences and heartfelt thoughts are with you. The world is a little less bright without Daniel's spirit. Thank you, Danny, for giving me a warm memory that I can always call upon. Dawn Walker (Skeete; class of '84)

Daniel, Thank you for your brave sacrifice for our country, rest easy soldier you will never be forgotten. To Daniel's family, may God bless you all in the day ahead. we dont know each other but are now forever joined, my nephew PFC Aaron J Ward at age 19 while serving in Iraq with miltary police was on May 6 2008 also added to the long list of American Hero's that made the ultimate sacrifice for our nations continued freedom. May God bless us all and protect the so many other soldiers still fighting. Rest in Peace Daniel America loves you!!!!!

To a brother in the NYPD & in the NY Army National guard, Lt. Farkas you will be missed. I met Lt. Farkas while assigned to TD-32 and when I spoke to him he always conducted himself as the SOLDIER he was. It was an honor to meet such a person. He was always ready to give of himself to this nation and his fellow conrads. GOD BLESS YOU & your family.

To the Farkas family,

I know there are no words to say, except how sorry I am for your loss. May you hold Daniels' memory in your heart and please remember he shall never be forgotten.

...For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I’m home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I’m only a civilian
And I don’t even know if it’s allowed.

But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.

Thank you for your dedication and your service. Thank you for allowing us to be free.

We were good friends. Really became friends in Edward R. Murrow High School. He joined the NY Army National Guard (1/258 FA) and then so did I. Your achievements were an inspiration to me. Daniel always had a smile on his face and a friendly greeting.
My heartfelt condolences to the Farkas family and those who knew and loved him.

The fact that this fine American soldier served his country and died in Afghanistan tells us much about 1st Lt. Daniel Farkas. I'm sure that in the days and weeks ahead we will learn more about him, but for now, we honor and respect his service and sacrifice. God Bless you Daniel, and may you rest in peace. Our sincere sympathy to your loved ones and all who called you friend.

To Danny's family, his high school friends, his police and army buddies and after the eulogy yesterday, it seems like anyone Dan came in contact with,
I am deeply sorry for the loss of such a humble giant. He's touched so many and will always have a place in my heart. Thank you Danny,

To the Farkas family: My prayers and thoughts are with you all at this tragic time. God bless you and keep your loving memories of Daniel warm in your hearts.

I just now read of your funeral service yesterday at East Midwood Jewish Center. I am so sorry for this loss and will say kaddish for you.
Rest in peace.

Many of us cherish who you were and how much you cared for family, neighbors, friends, the City and our Country. You are missed more than I can say.

Dan, God bless you soldier and thank you for your brave and honorable service to a grateful nation and for paying the ultimate price for our freedom.. You are now in great company with God and so many other fallen hero's before and after you. On 5/6/08 my nephew PFC Aaron J. Ward was killed in action in Iraq and my final promise to him was to never forget him and our fallen hero’s, we will never forget their commitment and sacrifice. To the Farkas family, words cannot express the pain we now share, but our families will forever have a bond and we will be thinking of Dan and your family and will keep you in our thoughts & prayers. Please accept my heart felt condolences and my prayer that god help you cope with this tragic loss and may the memories of your HERO carry you through each day. From one Gold Star family to another!

My Deepest and Most Heartfelt Sympathy goes out to the family of 1st Lt. Daniel Farkas, with a Multitude of Thanks for this Brave Soldier's Courage, Dedication and Service to our Country and for Freedom.

The price Daniel and his family have paid, Will Never Be Forgotten. May he Rest Safely, in God's Care and may the Peace of God be with the Farkas family.

May you find comfort and strength, in the beautiful memories of times spent with Daniel and quietly and gently, may healing come, with each new day.
You are in my thoughts and my prayers.

I am truly sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

The Final Salute

“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to 1Lt Daniel Farkas our Brother in Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Daniel. And to Daniel it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the ultimate sacrifice he made in combat while serving the U.S. Army and his country. No greater love is shown than a man lay down his life for another. Daniel, you are a brave Warrior, a true Patriot and a national Hero. With your passing, our Country has lost a National Treasure. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at ease. Rest in Peace.
