Awww, Dan, love of my life. We had so much fun together, exploring, partying, loving life and each other, and making plans for the future that never came to be. I´m so happy you found love and built a family to surround and support you. You will forever have a sweet place tucked heart for loving memories and some of the most amazing time together. It was by chance I happened upon news of your passing, and my wish is that you have found peace and eternal happiness. The world is a little more empty without you in it. I wish your family peace and find memories of joy in your crazy, goofy, all-in exuberance for life´s adventures and the joy of living. You will always be in my heart
