Daniel Richard Decker

Daniel, I am an assistant Scoutmaster with Troop 615 in Oshkosh, Wi. I came across your story when I was looking on the internet for some ideas for a Scoutmaster minute. As scouts and scouters we are challenged everyday to do our best to live up to the Scout Oath and Law.The morning of Jan 18th you certainly lived up to the tenth point of the Scout Law, "Brave" while giving your life in an effort to save the life of your mother. Although I'm sure your family grieves greatly over the loss of...

Deepest sympathy to Daniel's family. A wonderful son for you to have known.

i only knew a short time from working with her at the Christmas Tree Shops but i will truly miss her. it truely was a pleasure to work with her.
my love and affection go out to her family and friends
my deepest sympathy
love and God bless

I didn't know you Daniel, but, I do know you loved your mom! You went to save her and you are both together now! I know your father understands you were a brave man and may you and your mom rest in piece!

May God grant you the strength to get through each day moving forward. May you feel the love of your community and extended family and friends that surround you. Our prayers are with you and your loved ones. May Pam and Daniel rest in peace and watch over you.
Our Deepest Sympathy to all that mourn.
Sincerely~
Larry & Linda Flanigan

Dear Daniel, I held you when you were only a couple of days old. Your mom and I shared so much and I remember the joy in her heart and eyes when she found out you were on the way. You were her pride and joy and the love in her heart. To lose both of you as we did hurts, but we do take comfort knowing you are together. Watch over your dad. He needs to know you and your mom will always be with him. Love Sharon
