There are no words I can write which will ease the pain of this tragic loss for my family. I miss my brother dearly and I think of him often. He picked on me quite a lot growing up which I suppose that's what brothers do. Some how my brother grew up to have a kind spirit, an ease of talking to others, and the love of a growing family with two very recent additions of a niece and nephew.
My son will never get to know his Uncle Dan, but at least he will always have the last person close to my brother’s heart… his true love Laura. I may have lost a brother but I gained an amazing sister.
God only knows his plan; we are just to follow it no matter how difficult it may be.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I first met Dan when I was 6 years old, when Colleen and I hung out after school. Then I met up with him again when he was my assistant soccer coach in 1997. He always had a smile and was so good-natured. He will be greatly missed.

I was a neighbor to The Sargents. I lived next door to them on Williams Rd. When Daniel was 2 years old I use to babysit him and his sister Penny. I lost contact with The Sargents after my family moved to Lake Stevens when I was a senior in High School. Then through my coaching and playing soccer I reconnected with the family. Dan was an assistant coach to me for a year with Snohomish United. He was great and brought smiles to us all with his character, knowledge, support and total love for the game. When he went away to the UofM we would see him at Christmas and exchange gifts. I still have a tshirt Dan gave me from there and will now treasure it forever. On Wednesday 6/25/2008 Dan left a message on my phone regarding my daughters graduation party and what to give her. I just cannot bring myself to delete his voice from my phone. I do feel lucky however, On Saturday 6/28/2008 when Dan left our party I gave him a big hug and told him I loved him. I am so fortunate that I got to do that. He will always be in my memories forever. Love you Dan!!!

To Dan's Family (especially Penny)
I was saddened to see the article in the paper about Dan. I remember "Pho-Tech" (his camp name) at Camp Killoqua...what a character he was! It made me smile to remember one very early morning (5 am) when he took his campers out to serenade another unit...and they ran thru nettles and decided to come and serenade the nurse and beg for calamine lotion! I know that all the wonderful memories of him that you have will give you comfort...I ,too, have lost a child, and understand the pain and heartache involved...you will all be in my thoughts and prayers..
WIth Love, Ann (aka Bandaid)

Our family was very sadden to learn of Dan's death. Children should not be dying before the parents but we know that "life" does happen. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. Our son, Jason, played soccer with Dan. When we notified Jason, he reported that "Dan was one of the nicest human beings he had ever had the privilege of knowing".

Dan, when i heard that you had past I didn't know what to think. All I remember hearing that you were gone, thinking that it couldn't be true . Not knowing what to feel, sad that i couldn't play cards with you any more or play catch down at the ocean or trying to take comfort in the fact that you could be with the lord and grandma again but i will always have you in my hart and in my memories , and i will all ways love you .

Losing Dan has saddened me deeply. I think I felt his spirit this last weekend at Ocean Shores. I have many great memories of him i can treasure forever. I feel comforted knowing he is with the Lord, Grandma and Grandpa's and other family members who preceded him. Who do you think is winning at cards? Dan, you always seemed to have a way about you that made people feel welcomed and comfortable. Thank you for being a wonderful cousin. I will see you again, be at the Gates waiting for me--Ok?
Love, Lea
