My heart goes out to the Malear Family. I worked with Danny at the Clayton FedEx Kinko's. He was the first person to welcome me there. He was the person you looked forward to seeing everyday because you knew he had a story or a joke to tell you that would brighten your day. We speak of him almost daily at our center and we find joy reliving great memories of him. That's how we keep him with us. He is truly missed.

Danny was always quick with a joke and always happy and a joy to be around. I know he'll be missed by everyone that ever knew him and everyone will always remember him with a smile. Rejoice in the great memories and know he is now with God and watching over you.

Renee and family - I got to know your dad through Kinko's when I went to get some items for the benefit we were doing in Kelly's memory this past year. He was such a funny/happy man. I could not believe the energy one person could have so EARLY in the morning! I am thinking and praying for you and your family at this time. The good times and memories will always be in your heart.

I first met Danny a long time ago when me and his daughter Amanda became bestfreinds. He was always a fun and loving spirited man. He even hit me with his car how could I forget. He was an amazing father and I know that he made his family very happy. Everytime I would walk in the door he would greet me with a funny joke. All in all, he was a great man and I will be there for the family's healing process, may he rest in peace.

I met Danny about 2 yrs. ago when I moved into the house next to him. He was the first person to welcome me to the neighborhood. He turned out to be a very good neighbor and friend. He helped me get a job with FedEx Kinkos, where he worked also. I've thanked him many times for helping me in a time of need. The neighborhood will not be the same without him. He was a very happy, funny and caring man. I will miss him very much !

Danny Was My Dad And My Best Friend. He Was My Biggest Hero Actually. I Will Never Forget Any Of The Times We Have Shared Together. I Loved My Daddy Very Much. He Did Everything He Could To Make Sure My Life Was Happy. I Would Do Anything To Spend One More Day With Him. He Was Such A Fun Man To Be Around And Was Never Mad. He Made Alot Of People Happy And Knew How To Have A Good Time. I Miss Him Very Much :( I Hope He Knows That I Love Him With All My Heart And That I Could Never Forget Anything About Him. I Hope That He Watches Over Me And Makes Sure That I'm Making All The Right Choices As If He Was Here. Thank You To Everyone That Signed This Book It Means Alot To Not Only Me But Our Family As Well.

So sorry to hear about Dan I was in school with Dan and we ran around together at times. While in high school we both ended up with detention for bringing snow balls into the school and smashing them on another girls head what we did not know was a teacher saw us pick up the snow and followed us to see what we were going to do.
