We were very saddened to hear about Brother Daniel's passing. He and his family have ministered to my family and friends for many years; he was a great pioneer preacher, church planter, and pastor. His legacy is far-reaching and will live on through many disciples.

My deepest sympathy to you and all your family, Mark. I know the loss your experiencing right now, however, the circumstance under which this physical loss happened has got to be extremely hard. Although I didn't know your father personally, I do know you, your sister and Kyle. I appreciate the light that you all shine in our community and the witness of your lives and your father have reflected to everyone. I pray God's spirit will comfort you all at this time. Your father's life here on earth certainly speaks for his life ever after his earthly life. My prayers go up for you and your extended family. May you all receive comfort from God's love.
Sincerely, Ann

Rev Daniel was a remarkable person, devoted to serving the Lord, His Family, West Anderson COG Family and the Community. I was blessed to have known him and His Family via West Anderson Christain Academy.

Brother Daniel and his family made a mark on my life that I will forever be grateful. They were always there for me when I needed them. He loved the Lord and always showed it...even when he was telling you a truth that you didn't want to hear. He was a great shepherd for God. My heart grieves today on this side of Heaven...but I rejoice that I will see you again on the other side.
My deepest sympathies for Sister Daniel, Mark and Marilyn and your families. I love you all!
