I played in 2 bands with Danny. He was an excellent drummer and more importantly, a very nice person.

Danny and his family moved to Raymond when we were in fifth grade. He was such a kind and gentle person and he stayed that way! When we were Seniors in High School, he and I were running for President of the Student Council. He came up to me privately and admitted that he really didn't want to be the President but would gladly take the status of Vice President if I would be the President. He really didn't like being in the limelight. So, we made a deal and that is what happened. Loved his gentle soul and loved his musical talents. He was a great friend and I was so sorry to hear of his suffering and loss. RIP Danny.

Danny moved to Raymond during 5th grade year and was immediately liked by everyone at school. He was active in many class activities throughout elementary and high school, especially the band and choir. I will always remember Danny for his amazing talent on the drums and his wonderful smile.
Wishing blessings of peace for Danny's family and circle of friends.

I met Danny freshman year of high school. We played in the high school band and sang in the choir together. He was a pleasure to have as a classmate and friend. So sorry he couldn't be at our last 2 reunions. He is missed. Condolences to the family. I care.
