Daniel A. Tsue Obituary

Hello,
We wanted to let your family and friends know that we are sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and some of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Daniel A. Tsue US Marine Sergeant.

We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families and friends and others who support our mission.

We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family
On Behalf of our US Hockey Players Support Our Troops Campaign

Remembering your sacrifice today, rest easy my brother.
~Maj Robinson

Miss you Daniel. Rest In Peace.

I can't believe you have been gone for this long already. You cross my mind more often than you think, Daniel. I figured I would drop in and say hi, and tell you that you are still in my thoughts. It was an honor knowing you

Dan, Your sacrifice for those of us who remain will be carried on. You are missed by all of us who knew you. The MATC community keeps you close in our hearts. Godspeed Dan.

tsue rest well. you will be remembered.

"1 Nov 2010
Five years have passed since we lost a good Marine and a fine man. To friends, family and fellow Marines, Daniel is not forgotten. His selfless actions saved many lives, and he was loved and respected by those of us that served with him. I only wish he could have come home with us. I'll never forget the day it happened and I'll continue to tell people about the hero that gave his life so that others might live. God bless you and your family Sgt Tsue!

To follow the Fallen Heroes Geocoin in memory of Sgt. Tsue, go to www.geocaching.com and under Trackable Items use this number: TB2Y9AW

I have purchased a Fallen Heroes Geocoin that honors the memory of Sgt. Tsue. It will travel across America, and maybe the world, to remind people of this great man and his sacrifice. I served 30 years in the Army combat arms, and yet remain in awe of those, like Sgt. Tsue, who have given the last full measure. You can follow this coin's travels by going to www.geocaching.com and under Trackable Items do a search for Sgt. Tsue.

Wow! It has been 14 long years since I last saw Daniel. I remember he was a transfer student from Moanalua that was attending Kahuku. We had 2 classes together History and Marine Biology. Daniel was a brilliant at school!

I was real surprised to see how Daniel was able to fit right in as he had a quiet respect for everyone he came in contact with. What was more impressive about Daniel was that he had the spirit of friendship in that he could make anyone feel welcomed. Daniel was truly a great man from the start. So it wasn't like he up and joined the service then suddenly became this great Marine. Daniel has been this way even as a young man growing into adulthood.

I am currently serving in Southern Iraq and was real surprised at how I stumbled on Daniel's name on the internet and to see that he gave his life so that others would have a better life. I was saddened and happy at the same time because I knew this man with such high caliber.

I now am currently stationed in Dover, Delaware on the East Coast, but am excited to one day stand foot on the hallowed grounds of the Punchbowl National Cemetery in Hawaii to see an old friend again. Daniel, I will never forget the kindness you showed to me those many years ago while we attended Kahuku together. You will never be forgotten Daniel I promise.

My family and I were posted with Dan at the embassy in Tokyo, Japan. It is with great pride that we remember our friend Dan today, Memorial Day. He will never be forgotten.

Love Lives On

Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on,
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
more than a thought apart,
far as long as there is memory,
they'll live on in the heart.

The Landstuhl Hospital Care Project has honored Sgt. Daniel A. Tsue with shipments of care and comfort items to wounded troops in military hospitals stateside and overseas for April 2009. This includes the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany and field medical units in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

When I see Tsue on the left in those pics, my eyes well over in disbelief. This great man still lives in our hearts because he was better than just a "good man." Love you man

SGT Daniel Tsue and family - I continue to keep you all in prayer.
"May the Lord bless you and protect you.
May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.
May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace."
- Numbers 6: 24-26

Thought of you today, my friend. I have thought about your sacrifices, about your commitment. I shed some tears and wished for things to be different. I know that many of us will never forget you, Daniel. Semper Fi.

The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Daniel, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Memorial Day 2008

Remembering one of our EOD Selfless Heroes.

Gone, but not forgotten! Forever in our Hearts!

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Sgt Tsue!

Happy Valentine's Day to All of our Special EOD Angels!

Never Forgotten, Not One of you!

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Sgt Tsue and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

Dan:

I am writing to let you know you are still thought of. Bill wanted to name his baby after you, and how beautiful little Danny is. Not a day goes by that I do not think of you, Bill, Allan, Pops, John and the rest of you Guys.

I know you are all together and in eternal peace forever. Love you all and miss each and everyone of you!

Happy Fourth of July it is because of your sacrifice that we still have this Holiday.

In remembrance of Sgt. Daniel A. Tsue, on this first anniversary of the day he gave his life for our Country and for Freedom.
May Daniel, rest safely in the Loving Care of God and know that he is a True American hero, that shall NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
I Pray that God's Loving Grace and Comfort will continue to be with the Tsue family.
There will never be enough ways, to humbly thank these Heroes, for their Supreme Sacrifice,
My brother among them. KIA-Vietnam 1967.

May you find peace in knowing the love and memories you have of Daniel, will remain in your heart forever.
I am deeply sorry for your loss.

To the Family of Sgt. Daniel A. Tsue:
Your son's name, along with our sons, is forever together on a Memorial standing at Fort Indiantown Gap, Annville, PA. Their dogtags hang together forever moving with the wind creating a subtle sound, like the quiet whispers of the Fallen as they continue to speak to us. Attending this Memorial Dedication and hearing your child's name being read along with ours, has prompted me to sign this soldier's guestbook.
If your child can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 as well and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for right now. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten . You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

Sgt. Dan Tsue



When I think of Sgt. Tsue not being here it hurts. He was a brother like no other and would do anything to help you. I served with Sgt. Tsue on Marine Security Guard duty in Manama, Bahrian. We lived in a home like brothers 5 of us. Sgt. Tsue was the glue that kept us together through thick and thin. I wish the Tsue family all the best. God Bless you Tsue you will never be forgotten. God has taken you from this earth but I know you are watching over us. Semper Fi

YOU WILL NEVER FIND A KINDER PERSON ON THIS EARTH, THE GUY WOULD GIVE YOU THE SHIRT OFF HIS BACK AND LAST COIN IN HIS POCKET. I LOVE YOU DAN AND YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. WE SERVED ON EMBASSY DUTY TOGETHER IN BAHRAIN AND WERE LIKE FAMILY YOU COULDN'T FIND A TIGHTER DETACHEMNT LIKE OURS. I WILL SUBMIT PHOTOS AT A LATER DATE. GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND I KNOW HEAVEN'S GATES ARE TRUELY SAFE WITH SSGT DAN TSUE ON POST. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU MAN...SSGT WILLIAM E. JOHNSON

The hours we spent on-line added up to a truly unique friendship between two people who are half a world apart. I cried for so long when I found Daniel listed as one of the fallen heroes. I am glad that he had so many to honor his memory and know that so many loved this man. I wish I had known him better and longer. But the short time that we had as friends will forever be in my heart.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS. I HAVE JUST LEARNED OF YOUR GREAT LOSS AND WISH TO EXPRESS MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES. PLEASE KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT HERE WHO DO CARE AND YOUR HERO WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR TREASURED MEMORIES THAT HIS SPECIAL SMILE MAY CONTINUE TO SHINE. I PRAY THAT PEACE WILL FIND YOU ALL. GODSPEED AND SEMPER FI.



A PROUD MARINE MOM

I served with Dan in MATC radar school in 1999. When I first got to Pensacola he was one of the first to help me when I needed something. He was one of the greatest Marines I ever met. My sympathy and condolences go out to his family.

I just wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude to your son and family. He is a patriot and will never be forgotten. United States Marines guard the gates of heaven. Your son will be eternally respected. My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to your family and my God be with you!

My condolences to the family and friends who morn the loss of a true Hero. Those who make sacrifice for others are worthy to be honored and respected. May God’s Blessing be upon all who knew Him. ~Terry~

To Daniel's family and friends-

My family and I are praying for you and your family during this difficult time. We send our deepest empathy as we lost our Marine on 11/30/05 in Fallujah. We are comforted to know that our Marines are serving their country with such honor and bravery. We are so proud of our Marines and all of our other service men and women for all that they have done and continue to do to keep us safe and to give us the freedom we have that so many take for granted.

They are true Heroes and need to always be remembered for their selflessness and sacrifice to better our world. We will forever be united in the loss of our heros. We are so sorry for your loss and hope our words will ease some of the pain, and maybe fill some of your emptiness.

Yesterday, Today, Forever – Semper Fi - Marines!

Our sincerest gratitude for their bravery-

We know Daniel as a sensitive , honest and caring person with great values and aspirations.It is an immense loss for our family and friends.



-You will always be part of the family and will always be loved and missed. The kids will never stop mentioning nor hearing your name in our house...

We will all see you in Hevean.

Rest in Peace, dear brother! -



Sincere condoleances to Tsue and Takemoto families. You will be in our prayers.

I had the privilege of serving with SSgt Tsue while attending Radar School in Pensacola, FL. He was an outstanding marine he possessed a selflessness unparalleled. He would bendover backwards to help a fellow marine out in any way possible. He was truely a Marines Marine. We all love and miss you Tsue.

TSUE!!!! We'll miss you and that caring Hawaiian Spirit! You really showed you cared everyday... all the time! We love YOU MAN. [email protected]

SSgt Daniel Tsue was a good friend. We were attended MATC school together in Pensacola,FL. We hung out all the time and was his roommate for 3 months. He was a great guy and if you needed anything, you just had to ask Tsue. Our squadron GySgt was so impressed with him, he always came to Tsue to get things done. I offer my condalences to his family and friends. Rest in Peace SSgt Daniel Tsue, you will always be remembered.

SSgt Daniel Tsue was an outstanding Marine and a great person to be around. His "can do" attitude was infectious to seniors and subordinates alike. I served with him for a short time during our MOS training as air traffic control radar technicians in Pensacola, FL from 1999 to 2000. All of my memories are of him in uniform. He loved the Marines. I remember he would always volunteer for duty while the rest of us were on liberty. He excelled in everything he did and is very well respected by everyone he seved with. SSgt Tsue was and always will be the epitome of a Marine. My sincere condolences to his family and all the Marines who served with him for his loss.

R.I.P.

I'm really sorry

fff

I didn't know SSgt Tsue, but it is always sobering to hear of the loss of one of our brave. Losing someone from the Radar community hits about as close to home as losing a brother would. Rest easy, SSgt.

My condolences goes out to his family, we are all so much poorer because of his loss. It was a privilege to get to know him, to follow his leadership. He was truly one of the best persons I have met in my life. Rest In Peace.

I also had the honor of serving with Daniel Tsue, and am very sorry to hear of his passing. He will be missed.

Tsue was someone whom you could depend on no matter what. My prayers go out to family and loved ones.

I had the honor to serve with Daniel Tsue from 1999-2002. We were classmates at Pensacola, FL and were both sent to Yuma, AZ for our first duty stations. During that time, Tsue and I were able become close friends. We kept in touch via the occasional emails from time to time after he went in the MSG program. He was always looking for personal challenges and never accepted anything less than perfection. His attitude and personality was infectious because you "never wanted to let Tsue down." Nobody could ask for a better friend.



My heart and prayers go out to his family, friends and Marines whom with he served.



God Bless you Daniel Tsue and if I know you, you'll be God's right-hand man when we get to Heaven.



Sgt Richard (Rocky) Scott

MCAF Quantico, VA

Daniel worked for me as a Radar Tech during our tour in Yuma, AZ. He was a Marine who was always setting the example for not only his peers but his seniors as well. A great friend, willing to do ANYTHING to help out someone in need. He has been and always will be in the prayers of my family and myself. Thank you to the family for such a wonderful person.

I'm very to sign in this guestbook b/cos of the things i see inside,Umunna thank you.

I am a good friend and hi school classmate of Daniel's father, Richard Tsue. About two year ago, Richard told me that his son was in the Marines. I never forgot that. When news that Daniel A.Tsue was killed in Iraq, I had prayed that somehow it wasn't my friend's son. Sadly and shockingly, we eventually found out that it was him. This Veteran's Day holiday weekend will always be remembered... as it was this weekend that Sgt. Daniel A. Tsue was remembered, honored, and buried. I have collected several news articles about Daniel... if you, friends of Daniel, would like to read these fine articles, please email me. I will send to you. Also, we would like to hear the stories of Daniel from his friends. When received, I will share with everyone. It is during Daniel's time away from Hawaii that we in Hawaii know very little of what he did, what he thought, what he felt. Now, only through his friends can we know... if you have a story to share, please do. Time has a way... time passes... we move on. But I believe through warm memories shared we will be able to always keep Daniel "alive" in our hearts and minds. Those of you who have written in this guest book, Mahalo for sharing your thoughts and feelings. God speed.

I will really miss you and will forever keep you in my prayers. See you in heaven.

Daniel, I will truly miss those good old days my friend.



your Moanalua Valley buddy,

Ryan

Both my husband (Sgt. William Callahan) and my thoughts and prayers are with Dan and his family. Dan, we will never forget you. Semper Fi

You will be remembered.

Please accept our condolences. My family and I are keeping you in our prayers.

May he rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to family and friends.

My heart goes out to all his family and friends / camp mates. Rest in peace Daniel...

It was great to have met him as a MSG in Manama, Bahrain. We're still in shock to hear of his death.

Being the Marine Mom in Tokyo definitely had its rewards and one was getting to know this wonderful Marine. I remembered how he loved to eat lasagna and his sweet and gentle ways. He will be in our hearts and prayers.

Tsue was a wonderful guy. He will be missed by all. God Bless

No words can describe the loss of one of our best marines. Having known Sgt. Daniel A. Tsue from the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, my deepest sympathies go out to him and to his family.

It is always sad to loose a fellow Marines. Sgt Tsue departed Tokyo in June of 2004 and is still talked about and remembered by all who knew him. I regret not being able to serve and meet such a fine Marine and individual loved by so many.

GySgt Sanchez DetCmdr Tokyo, Japan

Tsue will forever be remembered for his kindness and generosity. He will be remembered by all who knew him as a great person and an outstanding Marine who loved what he did. He will be missed. I'm honored to have worked with him and have gotten to know him. Thank you for everything Tsue.

Our prayers go out to Tsue's family and all of us who where his friends. He was a wonderful man and will be missed. God Bless!

God Bless( Jamie,Navy wife)

The Martinez family sends our deepest condolences. Dan will be remembered for being a wonderful person, full of life and always ready to give his all. Dan served his country well and gave the ultimate sacrifice. Dan, you will be surely missed by all who knew you.

MACS-1 ATC Det C

To an outstanding individual. Words can even begin to describe how I felt when I found out the news. May you rest in peace brother and you will never be forgotten.



-Tito

I will always remember his smile and the kindness he showed everyone, no matter who they were or their age. He was such a wonderful individual, intelligent, kind and who had a quiet gentleness about him. He was also a great basketball player, who taught me how to act more lady-like on the court. Please remember that time moves on but memories last forever. He will always be remembered in my heart, knowing that he gave the greatest gift one can give for all of us, his life. May he rest in peace.

We had some great times in Tokyo. I'll always remember your outstanding dry humor and sharp wit. You were the best kind of friend. You will be missed.

Good times that will never be forgotten.

My deepest condolences to an outstanding Marine, and an unforgettable friend.
