Daniel Litz Obituary
Born on March 30, 1991, In Utica New York.Danny had an adventurous and spontaneous spirit. He was drawn to the allure of gold's historical stability, becoming an avid gold collector and trader. His passion for the trade fueled his dream of one day owning his own pawn shop.
Danny attended King Elementary and carried his love for learning and exploration throughout his life. He was known for his fierce protective nature , humor, and fun-loving spirit, always bringing joy to those around him with his goofy laugh and everlasting jokes.
He is survived by his father, John Davis Litz; his mother, Kelly Marie Litz; his siblings: Amy Kay Litz (Kenneth Bowens), Samantha Ann Litz (Derek Rodgers), Sandra Marie Litz (Jerrell Brown), Michael Allen Litz, and Paul Litz Jr. (Tiffany Lackey); and his beloved six children: Julian Litz, Jada Gonzalez, Charlie Rose Litz, Envy Litz, Ariah David, and Levi Litz. He also leaves behind his grandmother Sandra LePage, many cherished nieces, nephews, aunts , uncles , cousins, and numerous close family friends, most importantly Vincent Nico Perez who was a dear friend and profound support for the entire family through this unexpected loss. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Danny was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Norman LePage, and his paternal grandparents, Albert and Shirley Litz. Funeral and memorial services will be announced in the coming weeks.
His memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
" And when tomorrow starts without me. Please try to understand that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand. And said my place was ready. In heaven far above and I would have to leave behind all those I DEARLY LOVED"

Daniel, you lived your life wild and crazy, but man I knew you had fun, you always said what needed to be said and not what people wanted to hear. You always knew how to party and have a good time. Remember when we partied at your sisters and they left because you wanted Taco Bell! All your babies look like you and both your nephews look so much like life, Beans first time meeting you and he thought you was his dad cause yall look so much alike!! Daniel you will be greatly missed and I´m sorry we wasn´t there for you in the end!! Your kids will be loved always and they will always be reminded of you and your adventures life!

I hope you're experiencing the peace you've always wanted. Your daughter loves you. And is grieving the fact that you guys were supposed to be reunited soon. Now she will just have to wait a bit longer to be reunited with her dad. Rest easy Daniel.

I find it incomprehensible how death seems so final.
In Loving Memory of My Little Brother
I´ve written this letter to you, my little brother, countless times, not sure how to do this. How do I truly say goodbye? I remember watching you grow up, seeing so much of myself in you that it felt like looking into a mirror. We were so similar, yet so different. It´s funny how our similarities seemed to push us so far apart, creating a distance that should never have existed. However, in these quiet moments of reflection, I realize that the closest we ever were seemed to be when we were miles apart.
Every day, you were in my thoughts and prayers. No matter how chaotic life became, you were always there, a constant presence in my heart and mind. My greatest regret is not being there for you when you needed me the most. I wish I could have been your anchor during those lonely times, to have saved you from the darkness that I myself knew so well. Picking up that phone call will forever haunt me. I never wanted to hear those screams and cries. My greatest fear had come true. And now, all that remains are wishes, echoes of what might or could have been.
I remember the days we spent building those clubhouses in the fields and woods near our home. We spent hours climbing trees, arguing over the best spots, and sneaking objects from home to make our clubhouses that much more special. Those were our little sanctuaries, a place where fun seemed endless and arguments were frequent. Or those miserable hours looking for you before Mom and Dad came home from work because we were supposed to be watching you. Just to find you covered in mud and dirt from your adventures in the woods. Those memories are etched in my soul, a reminder of the bond we once shared despite the distance we now had between us.
Death is so final and unyielding. There´s nothing we can do to change what has happened or bring you back to us. So, I believe God saved you when we couldn´t. I´m sorry, little brother. The emptiness your absence has left is profound, turning our circle of five into a fragile four. I fill my days with distractions, desperately trying to avoid the truth that you´re gone. But nothing can fill the void you left behind. You´re a missing piece in our family´s puzzle, a piece that can never be replaced.
I believe you´re at peace now, free from the struggles and torment that weighed you down. Your spirit lives on in the hearts of those who loved you, and the love we share will guide us through this darkness. In time, we´ll learn to smile again, to live again, and to honor your memory in the right way in the hopes of protecting and guiding your children.
I wish there was a way to say goodbye and find peace with this, but it´s a reality I can´t seem to accept, probably never will. You´ve taught me that everything that can be fixed should be, and things that can´t will be regrets and misery we learn to live with, whether we like it or not. I just want to wake up from this nightmare and find you here with us, to do this all over again and figure it all out. But then I remember that this is now our life story, and there´s no waking up or starting over.
Rest your mind, little brother. Until we meet again, I´ll carry you with me every step of the way. For the rest of my life on Earth, I´ll live with regrets, misery, love, and memories. I hope you knew how much I loved you, Daniel. If you didn´t, I hope you know now as you watch over us from above.
To you, little brother who I loved so much but couldn´t figure out how to show you I loved you when you were here. I´m so sorry.
