My heart goes out to the entire Arias family, especially to my beautiful granddaughter Sofia. Sofia brought so much joy to Daniel and was a fun loving sometimes too fun loving man. He holds a special place in our hearts as a life gone too soon. And has been said he did live life to the fullest. I was working a night shift when the celebration occurred, I did drive by and started to stop but then I was fearful it would be too much to bear during work so continued on. He will be missed especially his sense of humor, cooking and love for his daughter.

I met Daniel many years ago and we became the best of friends. Along with Nels, the three of us did almost everything together. He never met a stranger and was a friend to all he met. He had a passion for life and lived it to the fullest. I will miss my friend. Rest now my brother (Brass Brother). See you on the other side.
