I am so sad to hear this news. Dan was one of the most caring, compassionate, thoughtful friends I ever had. As others have said, his spirit for life was unmatched. I have a lot of great memories of times spent with him, I only wish we got to spend more time together. He was truly one of a kind. My condolences to Jesse Frank and Chris.

When visiting our mother at the long-term care home where Danny also resided, my sister and I would always stop by and say hello to him. What a sweet spirit this young man has. He lives on, now free. My sincere condolences to you, his family.
