Not sure what to say?

I met Dan 5 years ago through his wife Darla. Our children went to school together. Dan was a great husband to Darla and a great dad to Alyssa, Jared and Devyn. Dan touched so many lives with his out going personality and sense of humor. Dan and Darla had the fairy tale life of being so happy. He worked hard to provide for his family. I will miss talking to Dan, because I loved to hear his accent. Dan liked his coffee from Circle K and if you needed to know where one was just ask Dan. The...

You are greatly missed.

It is hard to believe that Dan was taken from us way to soon. Dan was a great person, who would do anything for anyone. Dan loved his wife Darla and their 3 children Alyssa, Jarod, and Devyn. They were the light of his life, he was very proud of them. Dan touched a lot of peoples lives and made a lot of friends along the way. Dan will never be forgotten, he will remain in our hearts and the memories we have of him. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

i met dan 13 years ago when i worked at the park at 7th ave. we kept in touch all of these years, i would get a new sound system, he would have a great deal on a tv, he would come over and set everything up for us knowing i knew nothing and would probably break it. he came over the next day after i had called saying we were robbed, to set up our alarm system. we would always have coffee ready for him, so that after he was done with whatever help i called him over for, he could relax for a...

I am so sorry, I don't even know how to put it into words. Danny was a great guy, and a super father, husband and brother-in-law. He was so awesome when you guys let us come move in with you till we found our own place, never once did he make us feel unwanted. The kids loved Uncle Danny and have many fond memories, my favorite was how Jared and Bailey always fought over who got to sit on his shoulder during their weekly trek up the mountain or who got to sit on his lap while watching CNN!...

The world is a lesser place without Dan in it. He leaves a big, empty hole that can't be filled. Darla, Devyn, Jared, and Alyssa, I know your hearts feel like they are filled to bursting with that aching emptiness right now. But, as time passes, you will begin to realize that your memories and your love for Dan and each other, and his forever love for you, can fill that darkness. Right now, I can just picture Dan's grin if someone called him an angel... But never doubt that he is...

Although we didn't speak much, I felt like I knew you well from all of the great things Darla always told me. I know that you were a wonderful husband, father, man,and that you are missed so very much by so many. I cannot put into words how much my heart goes out to everyone who knew you, but especially to your family! AND to Darla, I love you,and I hope you know that if there is anything I can do for you, that is within my power to do, I am here for you and your family!

Dan is a wonderful man and now your gaurdian angel. My thoughts and prayers will always be there for you and your family.
