All these years later, and I still think of DJ. I remember it had been a few years since we had been in touch when I heard the news of his passing. My belly and chest burned with grief, I have lost loved ones since Daniel´s death, but I really never felt a grief quite like this. I don´t know if it was partly from anger, or just the fact that I had always been under the impression that death comes for us at the end of a long life and his was so short. I met DJ on a winter day at a friends house when we were 8 years old, and we played tag in the snow. We continued our game of tag (honest to god) until we were 15 years old, darting around the halls and classrooms we shared throughout the years. We didn´t have our first memorable conversation until high school, and while I always thought myself to be an attentive student, no one could make me laugh so hard that I was gasping for air with tears coming down my face in the middle of class like him. I remember feeling so myself with him, I look back and realize that that was something I always struggled with. I felt safe with Daniel, even in our classes together I remembered feeling so lucky to have made a friend like him. I felt so much shame and guilt for not keeping in touch, for not walking the short distance to his house just one day and saying hi. All these years later and I still think of him, grief is the love we have left over that we never got to give. I´ll miss him always

To Pete, Marlene, Natalie, and Shane

I was devastated to hear the news of Daniel's passing. Devastated for Daniel and the Jennings family.

That picture sums up the memory all of us will have of him, this charming, cheerful, cheeky, intelligent young man, who enriched the lives of all who came in contact with him. So very sad he is no longer with us, lets just hope he is at peace, and that his memory will live on.

Heartfelt sympathy to Pete, Marlene, Natalie and Shane from all your friends and family in the UK.

So sad to hear about Daniel. He was my student at WBHS and we had a wonderful relationship. I loved him very much. He was a sweet kid and a kind friend to all. My condolences are with you and all who loved him. May he rest in eternal peace.

Our hearts and prayers go to each one of you at the sudden and sad loss of Daniel. Your son was a beautiful young person and he touched many people in ways he didn't realize. May all the wonderful memories you shared with him, and as a family, help in some way as you remember his tender legacy to you.

I don't know what to say, I am usually not emotional, but this has got me gutted, I never new a more genuine smile, or heart warming laugh, or clever wit, or sweeter soul, even the teachers loved you, you brought a smile our hearts, minds, and faces. Omg I don't even know what to say, I am gutted the most because we haven't spoken in a while. You were someone that I cherished and loved, I cannot believe you are gone Dan, I will never forget you
