Daniel Reed Saunders

I wish to convey my heartfelt sympathy to the Saunders familyl. In the late 1970s, Danny and Bobbi inspired me to learn more about autism. My career as a child psychiatrist and research scientist is due in part to their heroic daily challenges and joys.

I have very fond memories of Reed & Bobbi in the early days of the Utah Autism Society. I also remember Danny coming to our old house on 900 East and being fascinated with the pipes under our sink.

Reed and Bobbi were so supportive when my own autistic brother died and the whole Isom family is sending much love and support.

So sorry to hear of Danny's passing. I worked with him years ago at CTA. I'll always remember our talks about the moon, and how much he loved to crunch leaves on our walks in the fall. Danny brought joy and light to my life, and the lives of many others during his time here. I'm glad to have known him. May your hearts find eventual peace until you see him again.

Dear Bobbi
I just was thinking about a day when you and Danny were having a time with his hair. It seemed like he just didn't want to have his hair combed. It was several years ago (I think it was at the Foot Hill Place Apartments.) but it made me chuckle at the time. You would comb his hair and he would promptly take his hand and mess it all up again. You would pull out the comb and tell him Danny I will just have to comb it again. He would mess it up all over. Things with these guys...

Dear Reed and Bobbi and family
I am so sorry about the sudden death of your son Danny. It is so hard to lose a loved one and especially a child. It sounds like the Lord chose to take him quickly and he will never know the ravages of old age. He will always be young. My son Brett would also like to offer his condolences to you. God be with you at this time.
God Bless you all

I am so sorry to hear of Danny's passing. It is never the right time and always too soon. I enjoyed working with Danny at the BLM. I enjoyed his humor and his laugh. Especially when he would say to me "Hey, how about Blue Butter? How about Gold Butter?". He would get such a kick out of this. He was smart, hardworking, and genuine. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

Reed and Bobbi, it's been many years since we've talked. I often think of you, and the thing that comes to mind is your nights out for pizza ( Danny s favorite ). I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences to all.
