Daniel Maxwell

I´m so sorry to hear about Dan´s passing so late. He was a such a cheerful, caring and thoughtful person to work with and be around. He will be missed. May his spirit be at rest and may your harts be light and joyful every time you think of him and all the wonderful memories he left behind. Peace and Blessings to the family in your time of loss.

My deepest condolences to the Maxwell family. I worked with Dan at OCFS, he actually hired me. Dan was always deeply respectful to all. He had a amazing talent to give 'cut to the chase' advice. Dan worked with his heart along with his many years of experience. He was extremely dedicated to serving NYS and was especially focused on the well-being of our youth in the juvenile justice system. He will forever be remembered.

I am so sad that I did not know of Dan's passing earlier. My name is Judith Hartman and Dan was the Director of our Detention Unit for OCFS. What a great man who we would go above and beyond for. Taught us a lot through that journey. My sincere condolences to the family.

In the years that we worked with Dan which were many, he was always the yardstick that others were measured by! Time after time without malice or self absorbance, he achieve the goals that made our agency great! Dan showed us all that humility and encouragement were strong drivers of accomplishment! We will all miss this man who changed children's lives and the workplace for all of us. God's peace to the family! Prayers are with you all!

Ann, please accept my sympathy for Dan´s passing. I had worked with him at Vanderheyden Hall, many years ago. Most recently we worked in the same bureau at OCFS. He was always advocating for the kids. I know he will be missed by you and the rest of family. Take care and be kind to yourself. Grieving is hard work and I hope the beautiful and funny memories you have will help you as the time goes by. God Bless, Helen Blanchette

Dan Maxwell possessed a remarkable ability to lead while simultaneously nurturing leadership in everyone he encountered. He had a gift for recognizing the strengths in others before they even realized them themselves. I am deeply indebted to Dan embracing reforms and spearheading change on behalf of the youth and families we served at the New York State Office of Children and Family Services. I spent countless hours with Dan and during that time, I learned so much about his deep love for his...

God Bless our Aquinas Brother.
