Danny was a wonderful husband and father. He was respected for his strong faith by all who knew him. We rejoice that he is healed and enjoying eternal life. Our prayers go out to Judy and the girls that God will hold them close and shower them with His unending love and peace. Much love, Theresa and Leb Kemp and family (Katy, Texas)

"Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him." James 1:12
Dan O'Brien is a blessed man! He stood the test, and has received his crown of eternal life from God!
Each of us hopes that our life makes a God-honoring difference in those around us. Dan's life did just that.
My fondest memories of Dan are the times he shared his unshakable faith with me. Transparently sharing what God had done for him, through his son, Jesus Christ! How he loved to share about God's mercy, grace and love.
In addition to knowing Dan as a man of faith, Dan's words and actions demonstrated how much he loves Judy, Katie and Tori.
