Memories and Condolences
for Daniel Reagan

November 26, 2007
I am sorry for the procrastination, but I have struggled over exactly what to say. Of course, Danny was one of the 4 best friends I have ever had. He has been there for me even when I did not deserve for anyone to be. I have more memories than I could ever begin to share. I am saddened by the fact that over the years THE FIRM did not spend more time togehter than we did, but rejoice that there is a FIRM. This has touched me on so many levels. I pray I am a better husband and father because of his influence and support. I pray that I can in some small way leave a legacy like he did. I don't believe that a day goes by that the Reagan family is not in some part of my conversation with others. I can only say that I know for a fact that I would not be where I m today or who I am today without the influence od Danny or David, David and Chris. I am truly blessed to have been as close to him as I was and will never forget the times I spent with him and knowing him. Short of that, any words or platitudes will not do him or his family justice. I miss you brother.

I looked up to Danny those years I knew him in high school. He was a friend to everyone and a great example of integrity. He walks in the presence of the Lord he served. May Danny's memory be eternal.

I was in shock when I heard of Danny's death. Danny was a great friend and role model to many people. I deeply valued my relationship with him and all of the Newingham family. It was a great priviledge to serve together at Living End. Denise, Ike and Deanna-my prayers will be constant for you.

Denise,
What an incredible couple you & Danny were! You touched my heart when you came down to Georgia to help my daughter and granddaughters settle into my home when they had to move out of theirs. You took over and made things possible when Jenny found it hard to even put one foot in front of the other. You moved her, bought her a car, paid for storage, etc., etc., etc.
After reading all the letters in your guest book, I see this situation was not an isolated one. You and Danny are so loved by so many. I know it doesn't help your loneliness, Denise, but Danny made his life count. The way he lived and helped people demonstrated that Jesus truly lived in his heart. You are so blessed to have been married to this man and have had him in your life. Now you have his children to, hopefully, follow in his footsteps.
My prayer is that God comforts you with Jesus' words: "Even though a man dies, yet will he live, because I live."

Dear Denise,
I received your Christmas letter today and was so saddened to read about Danny's death. My heart is broken for you and the kids. Kayla's letter was so tender and thoughtful.
The video was a great tribute to Danny's life. He had an obvious, deep and affectionate love for his family and friends. His lifestyle of ministry is a great legacy for your children. I am praying that God would be so tangible and real in how he meets you and comforts you during this time.

Dear Denise, Kayla, Kacie & Daniel,
Our hearts ache for you during this most difficult time. Danny was such a bright light in a dark world. We are grateful to God for allowing our family to be a part of Seaford Baptist when Danny was Youth Pastor there. What an impact he had on Rachel! We've cried & prayed much for your family & we will continue to lift you in prayer. We've also shared some funny stories that brought a smile to our face. Danny has left his mark on this world and I know the legacy he left will grow as your children grow. May you sense God's mighty loving, strong arms surround you and bring you comfort each day. Our thoughts & prayers are with you all.
In His Love,

Words cannot begin to express the sense of loss I feel since my cousin Danny went to take his place in Heaven.
We shared so many fun adventures when my family came to see our cousins over the years. Part of the reason our adventures were so much fun was Danny's resourcefulness. No matter what we were trying to accomplish, Danny could always find a way to do it. He flourished in that same respect with his ministry.
I learned a lot from Danny about always remaining true to God. I wish I could say I have accomplished a fraction of what he did during his walk with Christ over the years. I hope to change that by doing as much as possible from now on to further my service to the Lord.
On a lighter note, I am proud to have shared the same passion for car collecting as Danny. I don't know if I've owned as many vehicles as he did, but I am the record holder for the number of consecutive years (5) driving different vehicles to our families' Easter gatherings.
In His love,
Billie Belue

We am so sorry to hear of the loss of Danny. He was such a shining example of just what every parent would like their son to be. He was a great husband, great father
and great friend to so many. He leaves a wonderful legacy here on
earth and heaven has gained what
we have lost. May God bless you
and your family in the days ahead.

Cousin Danny, you have touched so many lives. You positive spirit always left a mark on me, having grown up with you for over 35 years. I especially remember our times together in Arlington seeing our grandma and coming to visit with the Reagan family for Easter in Seaford. You will be missed by many, and especially by my family and me. We wish the best for Denise and the kids in getting through this tough time. Rest in peace with God, and we'll meet again in the future.
Your cousin, Dave.

Denise and kids,
We were so sad to hear about Danny's unexpected trip home to the Lord, but at the same time, we were 100% sure that if Danny could choose to be with the Lord and through that have people be drawn into a relationship with Christ, then he is exactly where he would want to be. We love you guys and can't even imagine how hard this must be for you. Jermiah 29:11 reminds us that God has a plan for you and it is a good plan. We are here to walk alongside you as you discover what that plan is. Whatever you need !
We love you !

Dear Denise, Kayla, Kaci, and Daniel,
Please know that our family feels the loss of an awesome friend, and man of God. You,however,also feel the loss of a lifemate and father. Danny ALWAYS had that smile on his face and in his heart. The light behind that smile was God shining through. Denise, thank you for sharing Danny with the world. I know that as much as Danny loved you and your children, God loves you more. I was humbled at the service to see the strength and faith that you carried in your hardest hour. You are truly a blessing to all that have had the priviledge to know you as well as Danny. I see the same strength and peace in Kayla's face. Danny was a wonderful leader for our children, and he especially was a big influence on Frankie. Your family will always be in our thoughts and prayers, and will continue to be an example for all of us. May the Lord continue to hold you tight in His arms. I know that Danny is smiling down and loving you right now. God bless, and please know that if you ever have a need, we are yet another Seaford family ready to help in any way possible.
Love in Him,
Storm, Frank, Brianna, Frankie, Kyra (Skittles), and Bennett Keene

Denise,
my love and prayers go out to you and your family. Danny was more than
a friend to me, he was a big brother, a mentor, a helper, and a
shinning example of God's love and grace. My mind has been flooded with
memories of our times and how he welcomed me into his family even when
I was a stranger. My wish is that I would have taken the time to talk
with Danny one more time and not have taken our friendship for granted.
I thank God for allowing me the awesome privilege to know Danny, for
bringing us together in only the way the Lord could. He did more for me
than he will ever know and I cannot thank you enough for sharing him
with me. The greatest thing I can do now is to go forward and carry the
torch that Danny lit in my life so long ago. I believe that Danny's
last words to us would be to echo the words of Paul found in
Phillippians 2:12-18.
God Bless you and your family,
Thank you and we love you,
Michael (Coop), Stephanie, Jacob, and Logan Cooper

Denise-
I am so sorry to hear about Danny. I so enjoyed getting to know you last year through the women's bible study at Seaford Baptist. Your steadfast dedication to your family was an inspiration to me. You always seemed to know what to say to comfort or encourage someone in need. I wish I had the words to comfort you now but we know the only one who can do that for you and your children is the Lord. Please know that my family is praying for you all.
Your sister in Christ,

Dear Denise and family,
Danny was such a wonderful person. He touched a countless number of lives. He was enchanting in so many ways. He had charisma and charm and a smile to light up any room. He was definitely a kid at heart and he gave himself fully to the Lord and the youth and to his family. His legacy will live on forever in the lives he touched. I will forever appreciate his awesomeness. Daniel and Sarah have fond memories of Danny and his interactions with them. Daniel still talks about the hot chocolate that Danny bought for him on a field trip to Williamsburg a couple of years ago. Daniel always enjoyed wrestling with Danny whenever he had the opportunity. Daniel was always looking for a rematch.
I feel that my life was blessed when we were led to Seaford Baptist Church, in large part because of Danny's leadership and contagious love for the Lord. He was a joy to be around. I still can't believe he is gone. He has weighed on my heart and on my mind ever since. I know this has been a challenging year. I hope you and your family know that we are standing with you. You are in our thoughts and prayers everyday. I hope that the outpouring of love and support for you and Danny will give strength to you and your family. He touched so many lives. He truly had a gift to make people feel cared for and loved. May God provide comfort to your family during this time of loss.
Love, Suzanne Fisher and family

The Letter that was never written.
Dear Danny,
I can't believe you are actually gone from Seaford. You always treated Seaford like heaven on earth, so I can only imagine what Heaven is really like now that you are there.
I never got the chance to tell you how much I appreciated your mentorship and friendship in the short few years I knew you.
You welcomed me with open arms when I first came to Seaford Baptist. You encouraged me to attend as often as I could - your encouragement showed thru Brian White when I first started attending College & Career.
When it came time to officially join SBC, again you were there as an encourager and brother in Christ.
Months later we talked about me going back to school and actually moving to Wake Forest, NC to attend Southeastern. Again, you were a great encourager on this decision. You were also a great encourager to TJ and Noggin, who would become my roommates for the next 6 months. Good times were had by all - and your encouragement showed thru them.
When I came back home and finally decided that I had to have an important talk. You listened with a heavy heart of compassion, you encouraged me to go thru all the range of emotions I was having. You were never more than a phone call or e-mail away.
You even became my landlord in the greatest fixer up that could be had on Back Creek Road. And though I always thought that was a bad decision on my part to move there - I look back now and realize (whether you knew it or not) living in that house taught me so many things about life in itself. Not to be quick to judge on appearance. To realize that nothing is perfect, no matter how hard we try. That we are all put in situations that we'd rather not endure. But that we survive and then are given the chance to look back and say "Oh yeah, THAT's what it was all about."
I remember you calling a few weeks ago to ask if I could do a video project. I felt bad that I couldn't help out. I kept saying to myself that I need to have lunch with Danny and just talk. I never did get that chance.
So if somehow, somewhere, you are able to read this... know that I appreciated you as a friend, brother, and mentor in more ways than I could ever express.
Your brother in Christ,
Robbie B.

So sorry to hear the news. I remember Dan from his occasional appearances by your side at youth group meetings at Bethel Baptist. It sounds like you had a wonderful life together and that he left a lasting legacy of service to others.
November 20, 2006
My heart goes to you in this dark time. May you find comfort in the enormously positie impact Danny had on this Earth and its people, joy in having so many people to share memories with, solace in the lasting legacy of love he has gifted to you, and may you find hope in the eyes of his children. Blessings to all of you.

Hey Denise. Danny was my rock. He has been ever since I started going to Seaford. Every Sunday and Oklahoma trip, every wednesday, and every ski trip that I went on, Danny was there making the best out of everything. Leaving Virginia was the hardest thing I could do, because I had to leave the church, and a fun loving youth minister. He taught me so much about life, through the eyes of the lord. He has inspired and been there when I needed him most. I love him and your family, and let God give you the strength to get through this. Because its like Danny helping because he went to live with his lord. Loosing someone so close to you is the hardest thing that I had to do with my sister, but I know she is watching and Danny will ALWAYS be around.
Count on it.
love always Fallon

Denise,
Danny was such an inspiration to so many. I first met Danny on a Living End ski trip that I chaperoned for another church. When I first met him, I knew there was something different and dynamic about him. It was an incrediable time because of him. I remember on the bus to go home he told the bus driver to stop the bus. I thought it's not lunch time and any extra stops would be mean I would have to be on the bus longer with a bus load of high energy youth...so what were we stopping for?? He said he wanted to buy his wife a gift. I forgave him then. After that ski trip, we started attending SBC and Danny asked me to be a youth leader. It was a honor to be under his leadership. It was a honor to know him. You have been and always have been so incrediable. Your strength amazes me. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers and if there is anything you need, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Dearest Denise and family and all Reagan families...
Our hearts were saddened and overwhelmed by the sad news of Danny's passing from this life.
We were honored to share a wonderful meal with you Denise, Danny and your lovely children at our daughter, Lisa and son in-law, Keith's home July 4, 2005.
Danny's beautiful smile and zest for life that day were so evident on his face and will never be duplicated.
We know our dear Keith's heart is broken and he will miss Danny greatly as the bond between these two brothers was so visible when we would visit Keith and Lisa.
Each of them seemed to always know what the other was doing and were looking out for each other, such genuine brotherly love.
Danny will be sadly missed by the multitude of family and friends who have been both touched and blessed by his life here on earth and who loved him so dearly.
But he has left behind a beautiful memory and a powerful legacy for each of us to admire and to follow.
We believe he would ask that we remember him in this light and to be comforted that we will be with him again one day in Heaven where there is no separation.
We are here for you Denise and for all Reagan families if you need anything at all.
God bless and comfort your hearts.

I sit here 5 days after the tragic death of one of my dearest friends, brother in Christ and an awesome man, with a part of my heart ripped out. I still can not believe this has happened and continue to ask the same question over and over of which I will only know the answer once on the other side of eternity. I met Danny when he was about 13 at Seaford Baptist Church. I was a fill-in youth leader for a time there and had this young handsome guy with a smile as big as Texas, follow me around like a shadow. Believe it or not he went on the first official date with my wife (of 20 years) and I and he didn't have a date, huh. I watched him grow from a very young age and mature as a true Christ follower and cherished the time he and I spent together. As the years past he became my assistant wrestling coach at York High School where we spent time together every day for the several years during each season. He didn't know much about wrestling but he did know about young men that needed to know Jesus and that was his heart. In the last year or so Danny and I spent alot of time together just talking about life and how to win souls for the Kingdom (I never met a guy who could come up with so many crazy ways to reach people). He joined our Friday morning Bible group and shared from his heart with great passion about 6 months ago, and he and I talked over last weekend several times, so I consider myself very Blessed to have known him so intimately. But this is where I take comfort and so should all who knew him, that God has said, "well done good and faithful servant" come and reap the rewards and receive your treasures that have been laid up in Heaven awaiting your arrival, and breathe in the Glory of the Lord. Danny's heart was all about unconditional love for his fellow man and he never met anyone that he didn't care about. His heart and passion was for reaching the lost for the cause of Christ. When I think of the Danny, I think of the great commission, that was his life and many have and will continue to know the glory of our Lord through his influence for all eternity. He absolutely adored his wife and kids and told me that on so many occassions. He also loved his family and friends almost as much. He loved life and all of God's beauty that he enjoyed constantly and lived life to the fullest in every sense of the word. I would like all to know that I count it an honor, priviledge and the favor of the Lord on my life to have been a friend, mentor and brother to a man like no other I have ever met. My life and countless others will be changed forever as we have experienced the joy of the Lord through Danny's life and his legacy will live on through all of us left behind to continue to fulfill what God started, we press on to the high calling which is Heavenward bound. I will not ever forget the brilliance of his smile and the love for life that he had, a life cut way too short. I will not say goodbye my friend only so long for now until we meet again, save me a mansion which I hope you are helping to build right next door to yours. To Denise, children, Reagan, and Newingham families, my deepest love and prayers are with you at this very dark hour, but we know that soon the SON will shine again and our lives will reflect the message that Danny leaves behind to the rest of the world. May God's Grace, Tenderness, Compassion, Blessings and Favor be on you in the days, months and years ahead.
Eternally Grateful for sharing in Danny's life.

We just learned of Danny's passing away tonight. What a shock!
Everytime I saw Danny - at a Gathering of Men Seminar, or a Leadership Summit, or a Youth Rally - I was so captivated by his love and comraderie for his guys (either the other youth leaders he was bringing along or the kids he worked with so directly) and his genuine enthusiasm to interact with anyone he saw. He wanted more than anything to see people move one step closer to Christ.
Denise & the kids, Ike & Deanna, Keith & Jenny - we can't imagine the pain you are going thru. Please draw closer to Our Lord in this time!

Dear Denise and Family,
We were very saddening in the news of your husband Danny's passing. We only knew him from your Wedding Day. It was a very special time for all at North Riverside Baptist Church in N.N. where we meant your family and watch you and your brothers grow-up. Please know you all are in our Prayers and may God hold you extra close to HIS heart daily. God Bless.

Just reading the entries goes to show what I already knew, Danny had an incredible impact on peoples lives. I met him when he played on my softball team (Riverside) and later when he asked me to serve on a Young Life Comm. He had an impact on my life! Even though our lives kept us busy doing our different callings for the Lord there will always a special place in my heart and memory of Danny. Denise and the entire family will be in my prayers for many months to come as they make a major adjustment in their life. I know the Spirit of our Lord and Savior will comfort and lift up this family. Thanks to his family for allowing Danny to use his gifts for the Lords work, he has left an incredible legacy and an example for all of us to follow, showing us how to live our lives with enthusiasm.

Danny was the best. I never realized how wonderful he was until I heard of his death, and now I think of all the years it's been since I've seen him or spoken to him.
Danny was as much a kid as an adult, and I think that's why he was so successful in the youth ministry. He'd be right in on every joke, or the subject of it, and you couldn't help but love the guy. No matter what happened, if I hadn't spoken to him for months, when I'd be in church and he'd see me, he'd always come to me and enthusiastically welcome me, pat me on the back, shake my hand, and smile like I was the most important person in the world to him. Sometimes I didn't want anyone to notice me but Danny always did. He was so special and so loving. I wish we'd kept in touch after my retirement. I know this will leave an enormous hole in the lives of those at Seaford Baptist church and everyone else who knew him. Now when I think of my walk with the Lord, I also think that someday, I want to see Danny again.

To all those who will miss Danny:
It is truly amazing to me that this young man reached the lives of so many people around the world. I had the honor and pleasure to be Danny's step-father for so many years. He was an inspiration to me and it was supposed to be the other way around. We had many long talks and fun times with each other. He will remain in my memory until the day when I can see him again.

To Danny's family, the Newingham family, and especially to Danny's twin sister, Jenny and brothers Keith and Jef. I truly am the most blessed of all because I knew Danny the longest and loved him first. He was a typical boy but with a very kind and loving heart. I never had to worry about my "twins" straying because they were under the awesome mentorship of their older brother, Keith. Danny learned about Jesus and was hooked for life. He was blessed with such a compassion for life and lived to spread the words and commandments of Christ. He was inspiring to watch and such a comfort to be around. He made a difference in the lives of all he met. I love him with all my heart and truly cannot fathom not seeing him in the days to come. So, dear son, God keep you in his care until we meet again.

I can only imagine what you are feeling but know that your faith will help you through this trying times. My sister is going to miss him so much as well as her kids and husband. I will always be grateful for what Danny gave to them.
Thanks, Denise for sharing Danny with Pam, Buck, Ryan, Ashley and Kaci.

I was very saddened to hear from my mother that Danny had passed away on Tuesday. I have many fond memories of Danny from York High School and Seaford Baptist's Youth group under his older brother Keith's leadership.
After my family moved to NC I only saw Danny at Seaford Baptist during Vacation Bible School week. Every summer I saw him, he always said "Madison (my oldest daughter) is the spitting image of you." The last time I saw Danny was this past June. He was as friendly as always and had that perfect smile he's known for.
Danny will be greatly missed by all who knew him. I can not imagine what those who were closest to him are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who knew and loved Danny.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Blake Foulke, Mark, Madison, Mallory, and Molly

We are so sorry. Devi and I are so thankful for Danny’s awesome leadership he provided for Shawn. I know in my heart that Danny was a great encouragement to him. While your loss can not be measured in words or deeds, take comfort in that our son would not be the man, husband or father without the help of Danny. He will be remembered.
Take care,

Dear Denise, Kayla, Kacie, Daniel, Ike, Deanna, and Family:
I am very sorry for your loss and I am sad for what you will endure. As the days go by I will pray that you will be blessed with many wonderful memories and the memories will start to ease your pain.
Denise - As I told you after the day we spent together last summer at Water Country, I love you and I loved Danny very much. I am very thankful that you all have been a part of my life. I know you, Denise, and you are strong. You will survive this and you will have faith that one day you will again be at Danny's side. In speaking about you to people when talking about Danny's passing, all I could say is that the two of you are the best couple I ever knew - you had such stong love for each other and everyone you met. Know that we are here for you and I thank God that He allowed me the priviledge of knowing Danny and sharing a small part of his life.
To Kayla, Kacie, and Daniel - I hope your mom will save all of these thoughts in her scrapbooks for you to read one day. Your father was a wonderful man and he was loved by so many people. God bless you as you grow. Your Dad will always be there for you in your heart.
Love Always,
Jackie

I know that Danny was making a list of questions, about things he did not understand. No doubt on Tuesday afternoon no one else got a word in edge wise in Heaven. Danny touched countless lives including the lives of Aaron and Taylor. What a great legacy he leaves and will be remembered in our hearts. Our thoughts and prayer are and will continue to be with you in coming days, months and years.

Dear Reagan And Newingham Families,
Rich graduated with Danny and Jennifer and I met Danny through Campus LIfe in High School. I remember meetings at Mr. Newingham's house. Rich and I have always thought a lot of both families as we knew you. I have seen Danny a few times since then over the years and you could always count on him smiling and talking about how happy he was and his wonderful family. All who met him were blessed, even if you only talked for a few minutes. God has definitely called one of his angels home for reasons we can't understand. However, we all know he has done more than a lifetime's worth of work for the Lord. May God cradle your families in his arms during this time.
Sincerely,
Rich and Monica White

Denise, Kayla, Kaci and Daniel:
My heart is broken tonight. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful man with us. I was thinking today that I have known Danny since I was about 11 years old . We attended Seaford Elementary together and the rest of our school years eventually graduating together from York High School in 1987. My memories are so many from the musicals in school, singing for you and Danny's Wedding 16 years ago, church to living close to each other and you taking care of my children. Danny made such an impact on me, Dickie and my children. He will always be in my heart and I will always think of his great smile and positive attitude. I know without out a doubt that he is with his Heavenly Father. I saw him just last week I wish I would have told him how much he meant to me. Please know that we are here for you and the children if you need anything. I know one day we will all meet Danny again and until then he will forever be in my heart. I love you all and may God bring you comfort and peace. I Love you Danny and will never forget you!!!

The thoughts and prayers of my family go out to you, the children and Reagan family at this time of deep sorrow and grief. I grew up with Danny in Seaford and attended York High School with him. I will always cherish the time we spent running around Seaford and especially the time we spent in youth group at Seaford Baptist under the mentorship of his older brother Keith. Danny and Keith showed me it was alright to be your own person and follow your own beliefs. I will always remember him for his passion for the Lord and his love for others. He will be greatly missed by all those he has touched. May all of you find some comfort in knowing how much Danny was loved and respected. Should you or anyone in the Reagan family ever need anything please feel free to contact me.
With Our Deepest Sympathy,

We deeply treasure Danny’s gift of himself to all who crossed his path. In Love, Hugh, Rebecca, and Asa Terry

Dear Denise & Family,
I am still in shock over Danny's passing as we were just together last Sunday, and even though it was the first time I really had a conversation with Danny, he truly represented to me what it means to be saved. He had what I like to call "sparkly Jesus eyes" - you could just see his love for the Lord and his love for you and the kids. He was such a blessing and inspiration to Terry when he came on staff at CCNN. Terry would talk about him to me literally every day!
He will be greatly missed, but his impact will live on in the lives of many, including mine and Terry's. May God pour out his blessings and peace that surpases all understanding upon you and the kids and PLEASE if there is anything we can do, if you just need someone to talk to, to cry with, to pray with - PLEASE do not hesitate to call us.

To all the Reagan family,
A sorrow has fallen over this world as Danny has left it. He brought many people into the light of god and he was a man of god! Its comforting to realize we know exactly where he is and that he will be looking down on us now protecting us and speaking to us through our hearts. He will never be forgotten because he was a hero to so many. Our love and friendship is here if ever needed.

Danny was a great man and touched many lives including mine. He knew how to make a connection with the youth and taught us how to grow spiritually. I couldn't wait to go to youth group every week and play his goofy games that he made up for us. He will be truly missed.

When my mother told me of Danny's passing I was shocked. Though I haven't spoken to either of you since high school and the many Campus Life meetings at your parent's house, I have thought of both of you often. I am very sad that the world has lost such a dynamic person. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.

Denise and Family - I was just talking about Danny the other day - my son watched "Top Gun" and I recounted Danny and Christian in flight suits in the York High School Cafeteria. I remember meeting Danny and Jenny when they first came to Seaford elementary - it was big news to have twins in our little school - they were instantly "cool" - but were always well liked because of who they were. Danny was always the nicest guy you'd ever meet - always positive and always friendly and always sincere. He was certainly a light in our schools growing up, and I've heard how he has continued to be a light to the community. I know he will be greatly missed by many - but especially by you and the kids. Please know the thoughts and prayers of my family will be with you. Julie (Greene) Gibson and family

I grew up at Seaford Baptist watching Danny and his family live as shining examples of how a Christian should treat others and walk daily. As an adult, I have had the opportunity to witness his outreach through the impact that he had on the students in my classroom at Seaford Elementary that admire and respect him to no end. His enthusiasm and passion for life and Christ lit up every room that he entered. Denise and family, you are truly in our thoughts and prayers. God called a very special angel home this week.
In HIS love,

Danny not only impacted my life, but the life of my son and a daughter that he's never even met. He gave me a boost for the reason I exist; left me a note explaining my tasks as administrator of CCNN, and has given me even more reason to praise and worship God. Danny breathed love, life, spirit and passion for ministry. He left a phenonminal unexplainable memory in my heart that will remain until we meet again. I love you Danny, I love you Denise for being such a devoted wife to a dynamic man of God. You girl were his back and a very faithful mate. My goodness that man is looking down upon you and smiling at his precious woman. Carry on my sister...there is work to be done!

Danny Reagan's made a huge difference in sooooo many peoples lives. And I know that even though he is gone people will remember his wise words and in some way he will still find away to change our lives forever. I LOVE YOU DANNY!!!!!!
I dont understand God's plan but he must have a good reason to take such an awesome man away from us.

Denise, Kayla, Kacie, and Daniel. Your husband and father was a special man. I have been privileged to know him since he was a baby, and I can hear him now calling me, "Hey, Uncle Earle". He always had such enthusiasm, and the ministry was his passion. How many lives did he touch for the Lord? While we are all so saddened by his loss to us, we can take comfort that he is with his Savior, Jesus Christ.

Denise we're keeping you and your family lifted before the Lord during this difficult time in your lives. Our church staff worked with Danny for only a short while, but his time here at Calvary was impactful. What a pleasure it was to have met and fall in love with such a remarkable man. We feel like Danny jumped in and overtook our hearts by storm! He infected us with his warm, personable spirit and for that we are greatful. We thank God for the time that he allowed us to spend with Danny as he stirred the hearts of the people and continuously pointed us to Christ.

I absolutely could not believe it when I heard about Danny's death. We had spoken just last week for the first time in almost three years. We spoke for almost an hour catching up on all that has passed during that time.
Denise, I have not had the opportunity to get to know you, but I did know Danny, Jenny, Keith, Jeff and Ms. Alma and spent countless hours at their home in Seaford. I am so very sorry for your loss, and I know that there are no words that can bring healing right now. However, I know that there is a great God in heaven that is able to bring peace to your wounded hearts, and that right now Danny is with Jesus in eternity.
The Bible says that God will wipe every tear from our eyes, and the only tear that I can imagine Danny shedding in the presence of the Lord is for the wife, children, brothers, sister, mother and friends he has left behind. I certainly hope to make it to the funeral, but if not, please know that I am praying for all of you.

Denise and family know that you all will continue to be in our prayers and thoughts. We are here for you and the kids just as you and Danny made yourselves available to us in such a short period of time. We where in your home just over a week ago for the CCNN leadership meeting and I could certainly see the love Danny had for Christ, his family and the body of Christ. My wife and I made a vow to display our key chains until they are no longer usable.

Danny has touched such a large scope of people throughout his life. He will always be remembered as a great leader, gentleman, and Christian. He led by example (with a little help from some Beatles and Van Morrison songs), and I was fortunate enough to experience his leadership as a part of Young Life. My family thought so much of Danny, as he went to school with my brother Jaime. Our thoughts and prayers are with Danny's family, always. God Bless.
