Although I didn't know Danny, despite our being cousins, his "big smile, infectious laugh and zest for life" reminds me of his father, "Red", who carried a smile wherever he went and could "talk your ear off" if you let him. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Ryan & Adam and their families. And to sisters, Cathy & Peggy, and brother Steve. May our Lord watch over them this day and be with them through this difficult time. From the Tyrrell family, (Mike, Margo, Margie and Marlene), our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Ryan and Adam,

We have such fond memories of coaching summer baseball with Dan at Brookston. Those were great years, and Dan's laughter, huge heart and big smile were so much of what made it memorable. Our hearts are with you and your extended family now, and we will continue to keep you in our prayers. May your memories hold and comfort you.

Giggs,

I have known you for (almost) my entire life. Very much like my Father you were always there to protect myself and my brothers and teach us the meaning of hard work (Burning Daylight) and even though the odds were stacked against us, we were always able to make it through the tough times. You never quit. You were the true "Great One" Until we meet again brother.

Dan,
I only knew you on a Farm Progress work level but it was a lot of years of knowing you. Always no matter how tough things were and what the weather was like you had done things and your job with a big smile! 58 is way too young to leave but they say there is a reason why God does what he does and as of July 14th 2017 he received one of the best! Rest in peace my friend as I know you will and the happy part is you are with Janet!
