I've known Daniel since 2nd grade and he was a really great friend. He would always kid around and try to make people happy. Daniel was the kind of person who would give you the last dollar he had and I never heard anyone ever say they didn't like him. He had many friends and I'm sure all of them will miss him very much.It's still kinda hard to believe he's gone, but he's in a better place now. Daniel, I hope you rest in peace you Amazin Asian. Well till we meet again. Bye.

My deepest condolences go out to Tran and her family. Grief is a difficult burden to bear, but there are many of us old soccer girls that have been through similar tragedies that you can talk to if you want. Accidents like this are senseless and hard to rationalize. I am very sorry for you and your family's loss.
