Not sure what to say?

Dan was my first friend through the Oxy group. He always came over to me at parties or games and wanted to know how I was doing. I am so grateful to nearly 30 years of his friendship. I just wish I had one of those giant bear hugs right now. His smile was absolutely infectious! He made everyone around him feel better. I honestly can say I never heard him say anything bad about anybody. Whatever he was doing, he was really doing. Always in the moment and always making anything you were...

Some called Dan, "husband" and "father." Some called Dan, "brother" and "teammate." We all called Dan our "Friend!" Someone once described Dan as a 100-watt light - you knew when he walked into the room or when he was around. The Sweet grin and the Sweet laugh were infectious and you couldn't help but to smile, laugh and have a good time when Dan was around. Dan was a giver. He would be first in line if you ever asked for help and I was on the receiving end of his generosity many times....

Dear Heidi, Gillian and Gabriel,
I'm very sorry that I was not able to be in Tampa today. Dan was simply the nicest guy, period. Always happy to see you, always happy to hear your story, always happy to lend a hand. Dan's enthusiasm, his broad smile, his laugh, his strong embrace, his love for his fellow man, will all be missed but certainly not forgotten. I'm so glad to hear that Dan found the Tampa Krewe and was loved by them as well. How could you not love Dan Sweet? As our Oxy...

Heidi, I am so very sorry, you and the children are in my heart and prayers.

We are so sorry for your loss. Dan certainly lit up every room he ever entered, and we are just as certain that heaven is a more joyful place today! Heidi, Gillian and Gabriel, know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Heidi,
Mike and I are just devastated to hear of your loss. First thing that came to mind was when you, Dan, Gillian and Gabe came through Arizona and stayed with us. Long ago I know but still a very vivid and wonderful memory. My arms are around you right now trying to give you comfort. I'll talk with you soon. Love to you, Gillian and Gabriel.

I was a member of the Cactus & Succulent Society for over 10 years and he was the BEST President I can remember! Always paying attention to detail allowed him to run a very successful club and he had a wealth of knowledge that could Never be replaced!
He will surely be Missed. :*(

Heidi, Gillian, and Gabe:
