I, like everyone else, can't believe it has already been 10 years sine you left this earth and found eternal life in heaven. I think about you often and miss you every day, and even though you and I weren't best buds and I didn't know you for very long, your unfortunate death brought your brother into my life and for that I am forever grateful! You are missed greatly, and every time I see sand toys or a street bike on the freeway I think of you and always will. Love you and miss you and I look forward to the day that we meet again!

Danny~
I can't believe its been 10 years since you joined the multitudes in Heaven. Mike and I were just talking yesterday how much we miss you and how it still hurts that you're gone from us. I bet you and Dad and your Great Grandma Summers are having a great time! Can't wait till we all join you, be awhile for us, but just a twinkling of an eye for you. Keep watching out for us, ok? Love you and miss you as much as ever.

06/04/1981 ~ 11/05/2000
10 years ago our lives changed forever
as your life on earth tragically came to an
end. It seems like yesterday and yet it also
seems like so long ago.
You touched many lives and taught us
many lessons.
Remember the song: I have a family here
on earth, they are so good to me. I want
to share my life with them through all
eternity. Families can be together forever,
through Heavenly Father’s plan.
We cherish our memories of you,

Danny, I was just looking through some old high school photos the other day, and found one of our prom group! You really were an amazing person and God took you away too early. Sometimes it's hard to remember that He has a plan for us all. We all miss you.

Much love, Michelle

Kindred, Danny (Memoriam)

IN LOVING MEMORY DANNY KINDRED June 4, 1981 ~ November 5, 2000 It's hard to believe it has been 6 years because at times it seems like you just walked out the door or rode off. The memories of that terrible night are still fresh. We miss you just as much as ever. Sometimes it's hard to keep going but we are constantly reminded that we will someday all be together again as a family. Looking forward to that day when we can hold you again. No longer will there be tears of sadness. There will be tears of joy! That promise that our Heavenly Father gives us, is what sustains us. We tell your story to young people to help them see the consequences of choices that they make. Hopefully their families won't have to suffer needlessly. We all miss you! All of Our Love, Dad, Mom and the Family

Dear Danny,

We miss you so much. Mike, Lacy, Kyle & I have finally been sealed for time and all eternity. Nothing will stop us all from seeing you & being a family when we leave this earth. I just had my 28th b-day, I'm getting old:) We still think about you on yours. Kyle turned 5 and he'll be in Kindergarten in August. Lacy's 8, she got baptized, and last night she tested for her Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. You probably know all that, but you'd be so proud. She broke both boards and next Friday is the candle ceremony where she'll receive her belt. Wish you could be here to give her a big hug for her accomplishment. There's so much we wish you could be here for. I feel like I watched you grow up from this little kid and now your gone. I love you and Josh a lot, I didn't grow up with any brothers. I'm glad you were in my life. We'll always love you.

Love,

Shannan

I just wanted to tell you that I think about you often and enjoy our little "chats" we have sometimes! You, Josh, Tina, and Mike are always on my heart and mind. Your Mom and Dad too. I miss you, and am so grateful that I'll see you again someday. I wish you could come tell us what you've been doing and all the marvelous things that you've seen...but I guess we have to wait here till it's our time...we'll catch up later. I Love you and miss you,

Memoriam

Daniel Robert Kindred

6/4/1981-11/5/2000



We miss you so much. It's been long 2 years but it seems like yesterday.



We miss your bright smile and need for adventure. The phrases "Our 100 mile per hour kid" and "Drive it like you stole it" have brought back many memories.



We thank Heavenly Father for His gifts of comfort and strength that helps us get through our daily lives. We thank him also for giving you to us to care for and to love even if it was only for a short time.



Most importantly we know we'll all be together again for eternity because we are each a child of God - reminding us of the song:



I have a family here on earth

They are so good to me

I want to share my life with them

Through all eternity



Families can be together forever

Through Heavenly Father's plan

I always want to be with my own family

and the Lord has shown me how I can

The Lord has shown me how I can.



Love,

Your Family and Friends

~Danny~

Hey Sweetie Pie!! You know whenever my brother (Dan Colasurdo) would talk about you, I would think "Oh no, not Danny!! He's so mean to me!! I can't stand him" But after a while you began to grow on me. Then I just thought of you as another older brother. Which was good at times! I remember right after my 8th grade graduation, I came home and you and all the guys were at my house. I had my hair and make-up all done. I walked up and you took one look at me and said "what did you do?? Stick your finger in a light socket!!" I was so upset!! But of course cause it was you, I got over it fast. And ever since that day, everytime I hear the word "light socket" I start busting up laughing!! Danny, I love you and that will never change!! I always have memories in my heart about you and always will. Its heard to see my brother and Danny Jaques work on a car or go to glamis together, but we'll all find a way to make it together. The little things like you making fun of me or driving up and down the street at midnight just to make the niebghors mad, are the things I miss the most. I love you Danny!! And one more Danny, please look after your little brother Josh for me!! He means alot to me and I don't want to watch him get hurt the same way you did. You need to just watch out for all of us, just cause we all love you. Remind your parents and loved ones, how things will all work out. I love you Danny!!



Forever Loving you...

We have missed Danny tremendously over the past year. His bright smile and need for adventure have caused us all to remember some crazy times. We know Danny is in a better place and that we will all be together as a family eternally. We are grateful to the many friend and family who have helped us emotionally and spiritually. thanks to all who contributed to the scholarship fund to benefit Norco High School Agriculture Students. We will never forget your thoughtfulness and we will always remember Danny.

Hey Cuteness! Wow, it's been a long time since I have written but that does not mean you haven't been in my thoughts. I think about you often and your family. Since I don't work at PCM anymore, I don't get a chance to see your dad much and talk with him. I sure miss himm too. Don, if you stop in and read this "Hello to you". Hope you are doing well Danny and I hope you are enjoying yourself up there. God Bless you, until I stop by again.

Danny,



Whats up dude! I just wanted to write to say I love and miss you very much. Things are not the same around her without you hang'n around. You were always there for me and you never let me down. I guess you could say that you were like a brother to me. I remember that you would come over and we would both be all board so we would drive to chapparal just for the heck of it to look at motorcycles. Thats the type of stuff I miss! Tell god I said hi! Later Dude. I'll miss ya'

Danny,

Whenever my boyfriend(Dan Colasurdo) told me that you guys were out snatching signs or flags from Mc donalds, I always wondered how you did it. I will never forget the time that we went to Ruby's in Hunington Beach during spring break in April of 2000 with you, Ryan Carr, his girlfriend Lisa, Ryan Morrison, and Dan and I. We were waiting in line to pay for our food and you and I were talking and I dared you to take their "Yes We are Open" sign that was sitting in the window. You looked at me with that smile of yours and said "ok", while the other Dan was just standing there shaking his head at the two of us. There were four or five waitresses just standing next to the door, and as we were leaving you casualy snatched the sign from the window and not one of the waitresses even noticed it. As we were leaving, I was trying not to laugh because I didn't want you to get caught. That is one memory that I will always have of you. miss you much.

Luv always,

Sara (dan the man's girlfriend)

Danny Jaques

January 1, 2001

Hey Dan miss you man, no your looking out for us though. I learned alot from hanging around with you, about everything from motors to glamis to freindship. You will be in my mind, my memories and my heart forever. Take care man see you when I get there!

Danny~

I am so proud to have had you for my nephew. It warms my heart to know that you touched so many lives with such joy, humor, and love. My regret is not being a part of your life, you now understand why and know how much I love you. I look forward to the time when I see you again, years for me, but a twinkling of an eye for you. I know you'll watch over everyone that loves you, Grandma and Grandpa are having a hard time, tell them you're ok, and when it's time, show Grandpa the ropes ok? I loved you then, I love you now, and I always will.

Aunt Debi



Don-Cindy-Mike-Tina-Josh-kids,

Don, you'll never know much I love you and your whole family. I hope that we can continue to grow as a family.

Cindy, You are the kind of mom that I always hoped I would be if I'd been given that blessing. I will never forget the love and guidence you showed me during the most difficult time in my life years ago.

Mike-Tina-Josh,

I want you to know that I love you with all my heart and will always be here for you if you need me. You all have precious memories, some that will make you laugh and some that will make you cry. Keep them close to you always.

I will never forget the last time I saw Danny, it was right after the hair bleaching incident. In all truth, I liked it! When I gave him the nod and said "like the hair" he gave me that smile that made the sun even brighter.

I think about all of you every day and pray for each day to get a little better. I love you all...

DANIEL ROBERT KINDRED



Born: June 4th 1981 in Corona,
California



Weighed in at 10 lbs 1 ¾ oz – He
had the honor of being the biggest
at birth although he always thought
he was shortchanged by being the
3rd child in the family.



He lived his entire life in our
home in Norco.



His first few weeks of life
consisted of 3 accidents caused by
his older sister, Tina, who was 2
years old.


1. She drove the family
station wagon through the garage
door, while Danny was strapped in
his car seat


2. She pushed his baby swing
from behind to make it go faster
and ultimately pushed the entire
swing over.


3. She pushed the infant seat,
with Danny in it, off the kitchen
table.



His first Christmas ornament was
from his Great Grandma Ofsthun and
was pink and addressed to
Danielle. She thought she had
another granddaughter.



During the summers, Danny would go
to Dustin, Oklahoma, to spend the
summers at his Grandparents home
along with his brothers and
sister. His grandparents have many
fond memories of Danny. He loved
to crawl in and out of the
Tupperware drawer. He loved little
cars and trucks and the kitchen was
his racetrack. He wanted to be
helpful by helping out in the
kitchen – making food, helping to
clean up, going fishing, riding the
lawnmower through town and going to
get the mail.



When Danny was 13, he and his
cousin David went to Raging
Waters. They took cousin Ben, who
was 8 with them. The older boys
were looking for “Chicks”. Ben
couldn’t understand why they would
look for chickens at the water park.



One year, the local radio station,
KFRG, was having a contest at
Christmas. Mom and Dad came home
to find the letters KFRG spelled
out in Christmas lights on the
roof. With our house being so old,
the electrical panel wouldn’t
handle Christmas lights so Danny
had hooked up the generator to
light up the lights.



Danny loved children. He was a
great babysitter for us as well as
several neighbors and friends who
had small children. Danny loved
Lacy, Kyle and most recently Abbi.
He taught his niece, Lacy, how to
say “I love you Uncle Danny”. This
was her first sentence and we were
so impressed – until we found out
that’s what Danny said to her, over
and over again!



At age 15 he was a sophomore at
Norco High School. He was the
Reporter for FFA and was very
interested in motorcycles and 4-
wheelers. He fixed all of them and
was very good at it. He
participated in the “Small Engine”
team in FFA competitions. He
continued to do yard work and other
miscellaneous projects for the
neighbors so he could earn spending
money. He was a hard worker and
could be counted on to do a good
job.




Danny definitely had his
territory. When he and Josh shared
a room, Danny put duck tape down
the center of the bedroom to
separate Josh’s side from Danny’s
side.



In 1997, he was a junior at Norco
High School and finally obtained
his driver’s license. He got his
permit after getting a perfect
score on the written test (which
only took him about 5 minutes).
Danny struggled with school over
the years so it was interesting to
see that for something HE really
was interested in, he did so well.
This was the year he learned about
Glamis – a place in the desert that
he loved so much. He loved
motorcycles and 4 wheelers and
would go to Glamis every weekend
and holiday that he could! He made
many friends there and had a great
love for the open areas and the
freedom that he felt there.



Mike gave Danny his truck – what a
famous truck it was! For awhile,
the Sheriff thought it was Mike so
Danny painted the truck Green
thinking this would disguise it.
However, Danny soon had his own
reputation with the truck. He
rebuilt the transmission and engine
many times. This truck was passed
down from Uncle Terry’s dad to
Uncle Terry to Mike and then to
Danny. The truck provided many
opportunities for mechanical work
and both Mike and Danny invested a
lot of energy and money into it.



In 1998, Danny would use Dad’s
construction equipment to build
jumps in the back yard. Then he
started going out with Dad’s
equipment, doing jobs, and keeping
all the money for himself and
leaving any equipment repairs for
Dad to make.



Danny worked at Ace Lawnmower shop
in Corona repairing lawnmowers and
setting up the go-karts that they
sold. He did a lot of testing of
go-karts in their parking lot.



Around this time, Danny asked Mom
to get some film developed. The
pictures were of Danny jumping
dirt mounds on his motorcycle –
taken by his brother laying
underneath the jump.



Danny graduated from Norco High
School in June of 1999. This was
quite an event for us! I think the
school was also relieved. Danny
graduated with the exact minimum
number of credits required. His
interest was not in the classroom
and he didn’t want to exert any
extra effort in that area.



Thanksgiving week ended that year
with Dad and Mom driving to
Brawley, California. Danny had
gone to Glamis, had an accident on
a 3 wheeler and had emergency
surgery on Saturday following
Thanksgiving to remove a plastic
piece of fender from his behind.
He spent the night in the hospital,
ordering pizza to be delivered and
talking to his friends on the
phone. He was released the next
day. We continued to remind him
many times that he was not
indestructible.



Danny had an officer from Corona
Police Department call his older
brother “Mike” at 3:00 a.m. when he
and his friends’ vehicle broke down
on Hidden Valley Parkway, instead
of calling Dad to come and get him.



Christmas – 1999 – Danny got
everything he wanted for
Christmas. He kept opening up
gifts that he had wanted but they
weren’t from us! They were from
Danny to Danny. Prior years he
always sneaked around and peaked at
any gifts he could find.



Presidents Weekend, 2000

Danny had an accident with his 3
wheeler that resulted in a broken
collar bone. He was stranded in
the desert sand dunes over night in
Glamis. To keep warm through the
night, he would pour gasoline out
of the gas tank into the sand,
light it, and let it burn out. He
would then lay there in the warm
sand until morning when someone
found him. He eventually had
surgery and was very proud of the
steel plate that was put in to fix
the breaks. He was really excited
each time he got to go through a
metal check – especially if it
buzzed. That gave him another
opportunity to brag about his
shoulder.



The first time he bleached the top
of his head, he came home and fell
asleep on the couch. Mom came out
the next morning and thought it was
someone else sleeping on the couch.



Danny was at the Colorado River on
July 4th – at which time one of the
boats in his group was sunk. Danny
was not involved but assured (us,
as his parents) that if he could
take the Kindred boat, these kind
of things would not happen but we
knew better.



Danny traded his 3 wheeler that had
caused him 2 surgeries – and
purchased 2 Ninja Motorcycles which
were basically “junk”. He made one
good running Motorcycle out of them
and was very proud of it. We were
also amazed. He had the motorcycle
up and running within 24 hours of
bringing it home.



One of his latest stunts was when
he managed to indent Dad’s new
company truck by loading a tree
stump into the truck bed for Dad to
take to the dump. Dad had asked
him to break it into pieces first.
Danny never had time to spend on
trivial things like that.



Danny has a stack of pictures of
girls in his room. He also has a
stack of speeding tickets.



Danny could survive anywhere as
long as he had Dr. Pepper. Many
times he would leave for Glamis
with a few cases of Dr. Pepper and
some snacks. Danny always bragged
that he never ate a vegetable in
his life.


Danny’s attitude was “BUY NOW – PAY
LATER”



He thought anything could be bought
and paid for with payments. We
have many stories of him regarding
money, cell phone bills, gas card
bills, etc.



We understand that the bank teller
at Cal Fed may now be out of the
job due to Danny’s passing. We
think Danny had one dedicated
totally to him for reversing the
charges on overdrafts and deposits
not completed before the money was
withdrawn. We hope that with his
scholarship fund this teller will
have work to do again.



He loved to have BBQ’s around the
fire ring in the back yard.
His favorite TV shows
were “Simpson’s”, “Married With
Children” and “Titus”
Favorite movies : Southpark ,
Sandsation

Dear, Dear Danny.


I will miss you so much. I watched
you grow up into an amazing young
man. I looked at you and your
family and hoped that when I have
children, they would be just like
you and I could make a house, home
and family like yours. I know that
you would have grown up to be an
amazing father. We can only guess
at what we are missing.



Don, Cindy, and kids.

I would like you to know that I look
up to your family and see a kind of
love and bond that is rare these
days. You made a great home for
your kids to grow up in and I
learned a lot from you as your
neighbor. I've known few people who
are as loving and giving as your
family. I will always hold you in
my heart. God bless your family.
Love Julia and David Jameson and
kids.

DANNY

THERE WERE MANY TIMES THAT YOU
NEEDED HELP, LIKE AT 3AM WHEN YOU
WOULD HAVE THE CORONA POLICE
DISPATCHER CALL ME INSTEAD OF DAD.
NO MATTER WHAT IT WAS, WHAT TIME OF
DAY, OR WHERE IT WAS, I ALWAYS DID
MY BEST TO BE THERE FOR YOU. AND
THATS THE KIND OF LOVE THAT I HAD
FOR YOU MY BROTHER. THERE WERE
TIMES THAT YOU WOULD ASK ME
FOR ADVICE ON SOMETHING AND WOULD
TELL YOU WHAT I WOULD DO OR THINK
ABOUT IT, BUT I KNEW THAT YOU WERE
GOING TO DO IT YOUR WAY NO MATTER
WHAT EVERYONE ELSE THOUGHT. YOU
WERE ALWAYS YOUR OWN PERSON. FROM
THE TIME YOU WERE BORN YOU DID WHAT
YOU WANTED TO DO. I WILL ALWAYS
REMEMBER YOU DANNY BECAUSE YOU WERE
SO SPECIAL TO ME, SHANNAN, LACY, AND
KYLE. I KNOW HOW SPECIAL KYLE WAS
TO YOU BECAUSE OF THE PICTURE OF
HIM YOU CARRIED WITH YOU IN YOUR
WALLET, IN FRONT OF ALL THE GIRL
PICTURES! I ALWAYS ADMIRED HOW OUT
GOING YOU WERE. YOU ALWAYS DID
THINGS AT A 100MPH. WHO WOULD OF
THOUGHT THAT A KAWASAKI MULE COULD
GO AIR BORN? ONLY YOU DANNY! THERE
IS STILL SOME QUESTION ABOUT MOM'S
BUICK GOING AIR BORN OR BEING OFF-
ROADED! BUT DANNY YOU HAD THAT
SPECIAL SMILE OR SMIRK (IF YOU CALL
IT) THAT SAID TO ALL OF US, I MAY
HAVE DONE IT BUT YOU WILL NEVER
KNOW! ONE DAY I WILL HAVE THE HONOR
OF TELLING LACY AND KYLE ABOUT YOU
AND HOW MUCH YOU LOVED THEM. NO
WORDS CAN SAY HOW MUCH I MISS YOU.
NO WORDS CAN SAY HOW PAINFULL IT IS

Danny,


I am very honored that I was able
to meet you and work with you.
Although I am dissappointed that it
was only for a short time. I will
certainly miss that smile (that
everyone seems to talk about and
notice). I do have a picture of you
though on my desk and it will
remain there. I keep looking out
my office window remembering you
making faces at me. I hope its as
beautiful as they say it is up
there. Oh I bet those girls are
just going crazy :o) I will miss
you without a doubt.


To Don and family,


Thank you for giving me the
opportunity to meet Danny. He was
sincerely one of the nicest "young
men" I have met. You both did a
great job with him. Just know
that.

My brother touched many lives over
his time on this earth. More than
any of my family would have ever
thought. I would like to express
gratitude to everyone, for all the
support and the memories. Danny
will never be forgotten and one day
we will all see him again. I always
wanted the best for Danny and he
can't do any better than where he
is right now. I love you Danny!

I'll lend you for a little while a
child of mine,he said. For you to
love while he lives and mourn for
whens hes dead.It may be 1
day,& years,or 22 or 23...but will
you,till I call him back,take care
of him for me?


He'll bring his charms to gladden
you and should his stay be
brief,you'll have his lovely
memories and solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay since
all from earth return, but there
are lessons taught down there i
want this child to learn. I've
looked the wide world over in
search for teachers true, and from
the throngs that crowd lifes lanes
I have selected you...now will you
give him all your love, nor hate
the labor vain, nor hate me when I
come to call him back again?



I fancied that I heard them
say,"Dear Lord, thy will be
done,for all the joy thy child
shall bring the risk of grief we'll
run...we'll shelter him with
tenderness, we'll love him while we
may, and for the happiness we've
known, forever greatful stay. But
should the angels call for him much
sooner then we planned, we'll brave
the bitter grief that comes and try
to understand.



I'll always love you, Danny!

Danny,


I will always treasure the few
months you were a part of my life. I
am so thankful God put such a
special person in my life. I am glad
I got to spend such an exciting
weekend in Pismo with you and "the
mule". You will forever be apart of
my life until we meet again. Never
forgotten... Lo

Danny,



The only thing that I won't miss is
sitting in the emergency room with
you in Brawley. We'll keep ridin'
the dunes in your spirit.



Don, Cindy & Family,



Danny was more than a friend, he was
a member of our family. I can't
count the number of times that he
sat at our dinner table. He would
stop by to visit with D.J. and if he
wasn't home, Danny would come in and
visit with the rest of the family.



We will miss him.

I had the great privilege of
watching Danny grow from Tina's
little annoying brother :0) to a
spirited, intelligent friend that I
respected. He was always fun to be
around and I know many memories
wouldn't have been the same without
him in them. I think everyone will
agree when I say Danny never stayed
in neutral he was always in
overdrive. In all that he did, he
gave it all he had. To the
Kindred's- I love you guys!

Danny i have known you for just
about 3 1/2 years now and i can't
believe all the WONDERFUL things
that you did for me. I will always
remember you revving the engine in
the mornings when you knew that i
would be sleeping, and stealing my
food from me when you decided that
i was done eating but thats o.k
cause i always got even with you!
Danny, I will always remember the
times that we had together and I
will never forget all the great
things that I learned for you.
I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART DANNY!

Forever Loving You,

Michelle

Danny will never be forgotten. His
charming grin, soothed every ones
heart. I will never forget the day
Danny came over on his motorcycle.
He pulled up all the way in my
driveway, sat on his bike with his
arms crossed and of course the ear
to ear grin. I had no idea who it
was. Finally 10 minutes later he
took of his helmet and said, "You
did'nt know who I was , did you
Christie"? It suprised me to see
that it was Danny. I should of
known by his smile.

Danny will never be forgotten in
our family. We Love you Danny

He was such a
great person, and not anyone can
say different. The way he lit up a
room with his award winning smile,
will never be forgotten. The way
he smelled when he came over to see
me after working on his truck ,
will never be forgotten. The way he
cared for others will never be
forgotten. When he taught my
brother and I how to ride , will
never be forgotten. His crazy
stories, his laugh, his Dr. Pepper,
will never be forgotten. Danny,
will never be forgotten. I Love you
kid!!


Thank you for being there for me,
and I know you still are.

Love you Forever

Danny was always a great friend he
treated others so kindly. I'll
always remember the good times we
had in scouts and other church
activies. I'll always remember how
nice he was to me. He was there to
look out for me. He was a great
MAN. He had a smile that would make
you want to smile. I look back now
and I remember the times he would
take care of lacey and kyle for
Mike and Shannon. He loved those
kids as if they were his own. I
don't think i ever heard him snap
at them of say an unkind word. Don
and Cindy you did great with him.
He was a gift to us all and now
he's back with heavenly father to
Fill the Mission that he was called
to do. I have a fealling he will
bring many souls onto the Gosphel.
Remember you will see him again
someday.



With Love

Don, you gave a GREAT talk. I wish
you folks the best in the future,
and I'm glad you're holding up so
well through this.


I could relate to the Glammis story
about the broken collarbone. When
I was 12 I was driving my brother-
in-laws dune buggy there, and had
the SAME thing occur to me. I
THOUGHT I was in a different spot
than where I was. All of a sudden
the ground disappeared from
underneath me, and WHAMO, 10 feet
down was the earth. Needless to
say, the axle broke on the dune
buggy, but luckily, I had others
following me. What a "unique"
experience.



Keep thinking (and acting)
positive, and positive things will
happen.
