Dan was a good friend of mine. He was kind, caring and polite. If you were having a bad day, you could be sure that Dan would make you laugh with one of his corny jokes. Dan was the kind of friend you could always count on. He accompanied me to our high school Sadie Hawkins dance, 2 years in a row; just because I didn't have a date. Dan was very intelligent. School seemed to come so easy for him. As did, making friends. Teachers adored him, as well. Dan is often on my mind and his memory stays in my heart.

I am so sorry for the loss of Daniel. I knew him in Middle School and High School. He was a very kind person. I'm sad to have lost track of him after high school. Sounds like he enjoyed the heck out of his life though. My condolences to the entire Carlin family.

I am so sorry to hear of Daniel's passing. I've known him since the days at Kratt. He was always a nice and funny guy. I don't think I've ever seen him without a smile on his face. Dan, I will never forget you. Peace to you and your family.
