Daniel Lee Gates

My heart broke today when I heard the news. Though I didn't know him well, I know enough to know that Dan was a good, hard-working man, worthy of respect, and a loving husband and father, who strove to do right by his family. The world needs more men like that. Kathi, Lauren, Veronica, I'm so sorry. May Dan's love and his memory help to carry you forward, and into that bright future he always wanted for you.

So sorry for your loss...I knew Dan back when we were teenagers, always funny and full of life....

My memories of Daniel are those when he was young and would go camping with his brother Michael and Tony & Janelle Flores. Those were fun times! Those 2 brothers were very close and shared many outdoor adventures! Cheryl

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. So sorry Kathi that I won't be able to make it on Saturday as I have to work but know that you are in my thoughts.

So heaven is throwing a welcome home Dan party, You will be missed as many have said. Your wife and daughters will carry on and as they do the things you taught them, their hearts will be full. There is a hole in their lives, but your love will mend them. You fought a hard battle and now you are home. See you on the other side.
