I recently moved back to the area after moving out of Illinois in 2006. Last weekend I was driving through Elburn on Rt. 47 and I thought of Dan and burst into tears. I miss him. I wish I could find my photos of us from the early 2000's from our re-connection after high school. Until then I have good memories.

Every year on his birthday, Jan 25th I remember my friend and I cry because I was not there when he needed a friend. I saw him a few times a couple of years before he died and we had fun. I miss his smile, he was always kind to me, he looked out for me like a kid sister. High School was tolerable because of Dan. I miss you and love you.

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Dan in not only your lives, but also in mine and everybodys lives that he has touched. I will always remember the good times that I've had with him as well as his cheerful disposition and the ways that he has made those around him feel welcomed. He will be missed, and we will always know that there will be a day when we of faith will indeed see him again in glory!
