Daniel Lansford Biferie

A year ago today a friend called to tell me you were tired of fighting... and I knew exactly what that meant. I knew I had a few days before I would get the news that the fight had ended. Not because you had lost or given up, but because it had just been long enough. I thought by the time the news would come I would have been ready for it, I don't think any of us were and I am sure some of us still aren't. Every life you were a part of, every soul you touched is better because of you. I know everyone misses you because you were such a great man, friend, brother, and son. I miss you because you were just great.

Miss you so much! I can't believe it has been almost a year without you in all our lives! I think of you daily my friend! ♥ Katherine Dixon

I love you Daniel. I loved celebrating your 31 years with you. You will always be in my heart. Love, Aunt Joni

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

I did not have the pleasure and honor of knowing Daniel, but I do know Robert and Mrs. Biferie since i came to Deltona in 1986. My condolence, and prayers to Mr. and Mrs. Biferie and the rest of the family. I pray for comfort and peace to the family. Rest in Peace Daniel.

I was one of Dan's nurses at Moffitt. He was such a gentle and kind young man and I am glad to have known him. Rest in peace .

Dan, aka Bif was a great man and an even better friend. He was so strong and had such a big heart. We used to joke around and say he was my white brother and i was his black bro. I will miss the sushi, fish fry, and playing Street fighter 2 till 2am in the morning. I would stop by his house and he would cook breakfast for me and my brother because thats what he loved to do. To his family, girl friend Gina, and friends you will always be in my heart. Love Moise

Dearest Suellen and family,

Please accept my sincerest sympathies in the passing of your son. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during these very challenging times. Allow the love of Christ to comfort and console you.

In Christian Love,
Araminta Lake

I was deeply saddened to hear of Dan's passing. I feel truly blessed to have known such a wonderful, genuine person with such a pure soul. Although Dan and I have lost touch over the years, I will never forget the great memories we shared. My deepest sympathies to his family and hope they find comfort in knowing what a difference he has made in each of our lives.

My Brother Dan:
I will always remember all the great times that we had shared. From going to Hurricane games, to going to our first rock concert, we had awesome times. I truly feel privileged for you entering my life.

RUN WITH THE ANGELS DAN!!!! R.I.P

Dear Dan, "The Man",
I first saw you playing "magnet ball" about age 5. After that, you became a part of our family (and ate a lot of our food!). But, over the years, you grew into a fine young man that I was proud to know. I remember some happy times like your first day of college at Flagler when you had to share a bedroom with 3 other guys. You always smiled when I kidded you that you were the only guy I knew who sprinkled Parmesian cheese on his popcorn! I'll miss you, Dan. We all will. But I'll remember the good times. --Dr. B

i went to elementary school with daniel thought he was a great guy but lost contact when we got out of enterprise. i am very sorry dor the loss.

To the Biferie Family. I am sending my deepest sympathy to you all, Daniel I will be missing you forever I remember the fun we use to have at work.you were such a fun guy, I do wish I could have done something to save you (such a sad time).Love you Joanna.

Daniel will forever be missed. I met Daniel many years ago, thanks to Moseley. I did not know him well, but I know his journey helped my sister, Evelyn, with hers. For for that, I am eternally grateful. May they both rest in peace.

I was blessed to be introduced to Daniel by my Sears co-worker Moseley, a very good friend of Daniels. In the short two and a half years I would talk to him when we were out with the after work crowd or when he would stop into Sears to chat I enjoyed him so much. He was always so honorable and kind. He was a lovely person inside and out. His smile was infectious. No matter how he was feeling he was always positive. I am very sorry for your loss. We will keep all of you and Daniel in our thoughts and prayers. Terri Estep

My Brother Dan
Daniel it has been a pleasure knowing you over the past almost 15 years. The fun times at sear, and after work at Micke Finns for wings and beer with the old work crew. We'll stop by there tonight like old time with you there in spirit. I'll remember all your pool parties and the Guinness milkshakes we'd make your fine guest. And the last couple of years living next door to you has indeed been fun. Your sushi nights will be missed. I will try to enjoy life as you did and know it is a gift and not take it for granted.

Suellen and family,
I didn't really know your son Daniel but of course heard only goods things about him. Since we both had a child the exact same age, I feel a deep emptiness and sorrow for you. From reading the guest book, I can see that he was a wonderful person. You have been in my thoughts and prayers.

I will miss listening to Daniel and Kyle watch baseball in my living room this summer. Dan, you were a dear, dear friend and I will miss you always.

Dan,
When Joe called me and told me the terrible news I could not believe it! It seems like it was yesterday we were in high school together and also when you were in Jacksonville and I was stationed in the navy having a blast up there. You were such a great person and friend and the world is less with out you. I will miss you so much my friend.

You were always the sweetest guy with the sweetest heart. You were brilliant and I will never forget you. Love always,
Danielle

Bob & Suellen,
Marlene and I are so sorry to hear of Daniel's passing. Please accept our condolences and know that our hearts are heavy... but our thoughts and prayers are with you. We were really hoping Daniel was going to be one of the success stories in beating this dreaded disease. Unfortunately God needed him at such an early age....
With our deepest sympathy,

Brian & Marlene

Daniel was always a good friend. In the early days, I remember you coming over and hanging out with Gavin, and later when we worked together, you became a friend of mine also. You will be missed greatly. I'm sorry, bud. You are a great person and I'm proud to have known you.

"Make Time For Friends"

We are very sorry to hear about his passing, It seems like only yesterday when my kids, Nicole and Michael, were growing together and attending Deltona Lakes Elementary. Eventhough, we did not stay in touch over the years, we hold dear memories. May God give you the strength to see you through this difficult time. Our Love, Mel & Enid McCoy (previously, Wiblin)

Hi Bif, You are my 4th son as I always told you - from preschool on. You loved the deviled eggs, shrimp cocktail, chicken parm, meatballs ( probably everything I cooked - even my over the counter snack drawer). You were such a good, true friend to my other three sons. Love to you always, Mrs. B

Dear Daniel,
I've been sort of numb to this news when it happened. But man seeing your face on here is tearing me up. You have always been the kindest soul. We had a lot of fun together and now you are free. I will never forget the times we had. I am forever your "Casadega". Man I'm missing you.
Bobby Palmer

Dan was a great friend. He was my white night in shinning armor at a time in my life that I needed someone. I will always remember his laughter, his smile, his humor, his compassion, sensitivity, thoughtfulness and care. What an amazing person.
My condolences to the Biferie family and to those that feel great loss.

My deepest sympathies go out to the Biferie family.

Melissa Negron (Bradshaw) c/o 96

My heart goes out to your family, Mike, Leona, & Gina. Dan was such a sweet soul. We will miss him terribly!

What a tragic loss. Daniel was always such a sweet person and could always make me laugh. I'll always have wonderful memories of him. My thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones.

Even though I hadn't seen Daniel since we graduated from DHS, I can still see his smile, hear his laugh, and remember his sharp wit. Most of all, I remember his warmth and kindness. Much love to the Biferie family and friends.

Bob and Suellen and Family, I have only known you briefly through our contact in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, yet I have always been inspired by your courage and the Love that your family has for each other, it is contagious. Daniel's fight is over his body is whole he hurts no more. I know of no other words to console you with. I pray for peace in the lives of all of your family and please know that you and Daniel have touched many lives. God Bless

I'm so sorry Suellen. From knowing you and working with you, I know that there was not a day in his life that he didn't feel loved. I am thinking about you.

It is with a heavy heart that I write this. I want to share my deepest condolences with Daniel’s family. He was truly one of the most amazing people ever to touch my life, and I don’t think anyone who knew him could say a negative thing about him. The world is not as bright without him in it. I will remember him fondly; I will remember the gentleman, the loyal friend, his laugh. As a mother I hope to raise my boys to have the same endearing qualities that defined Daniel. He was strong and humble, and I will never forget his kind smile and our friendship. I was blessed to have known him.

Suellen,Bob and Family.
Words can not express the sorrow that my whole family feels at the loss of your wonderful son Daniel. He always made me smile when he popped into the house and headed right for the refrigerator to eat the hard boiled eggs. After a while it became a running joke at our house and my hubby always looked in the fridge and said...oh Daniel must have been here I gotta make more! :-) and he would..just so Dan would have some the next time he popped over. Or the time I was in my pj's with cream all over my face and curlers in my hair he said Mrs. P you look especially lovely tonight, have you lost weight? haha then the next question would be..can Joey go out with us tonight? We loved that boy and will miss him terribly. I wish we could say or do something to help you and Bob but I am afraid words would be just words at this time of great sorrow. Please know that we loved him very much and will miss him terribly.
Love to you all the Palmer Family

We are so sorry to hear about your son. We offer our heartfelt sympathies to all of the family.
With much love,
Dan and Sandy Moye

We pray that the light that Daniel showed to this world would continue to spread. Jesus gives us the light and Daniel shared his light with many people. We pray that his family and friends will continue to live in the light where Daniel now is.

May the Peace that passes all understanding come upon you!!

On behalf of the entire Jadoff family, we offer our heartfelt sympathies on the loss of Daniel. He was an inspiring person and our lives are richer for having been associated with him.

I am sorry to hear of his passing. My prayers are with you all, may God give you the comfort and strength only He can give. (2Cor.1:3,4 and 2Cor.4:7) May you also have many memories to see you through this tragic time.

Fly away to the angels,
fly away and be free.
Let your soul be at peace now;
will you look down on me?
Are you numb or alone,
can you hear when I speak?
Are you happy or sad,
do you feel, do you see?

I can't understand
how it was for you.
Were you scared, did you cry?
Now I'm crying, too.

It was just yesterday-
you entered my mind.
I wondered how you were,
I remembered our times...

You could have come to me,
though I'm sure you didn't know.
I would have been there,
tried to soften the blow.

I can't believe that you're gone,
I read all your old letters.
You were sweet, loving, and kind,
And that's what I'll remember.

So fly away to the angels,
fly with them and be free.
Let your soul be at peace now,
don't forget about me.

I am so sorry that Daniel experiences so much suffering during his short life. No one can imagine how difficult this is for you, but as you attempt to make peace with your loss may you find comfort in God's word the bible and it's many promises for mankind. You all are in my prayers.

Daniel was a dear friend for over 20 years, and will be remembered fondly - from our earliest days at Deltona Lakes Elementary. My deepest sympathy is extended to the Biferie family, with much love.

Dear Dan,
Thank you for showing me what a loving family looks like and how they interact. I am a better person because of you. Of course you know that the Mets swept the Orioles this weekend! Love ya, man.
