I know it has been a few years now. For some reason Mr. Thrasher was put on my heart tonight and I cannot sleep. My name is Felicia, I was one of Mr. Thrasher's students at the MYDC. He was my favorite teacher. As I became the oldest juvenile at the facility throughout my 4 1/2 years there I would get out of other classes just to go "help" him. Mr. Thrasher was a great impact to soo many of the girls including myself. He spoke optimistically about how we could change our situations for the better. I promise you when I first arrived at the facility at the age of 15, I was not in any way ready to get my act together. I had no intentions of doing any work in the education area or anywhere else. I think the way that Mr. Thrasher encouraged me with such care and meaningfulness really impacted my yearning to change. When I found out what happened, I think I took it harder than any of the other girls because I had been there for so long with him. I cried, I screamed, I was sick, I wouldn't eat, I wouldn't talk to anyone. I just wanted to be in a cell left alone. Overtime I went back to the education area only to go to Mrs. Elizabeth White's classroom and print out pictures of Mr. Thrasher & write poems of how many memories he had given to all of us. We planted a tree in remembrance of him and we celebrated just having known him. It meant so much to us. Time has passed and yet from time to time when I see a beautiful garden I do think of him. I was not much of a gardener but he got a lot out of me in the greenhouse and around the campus when it came to gardening. It is about to be Father's Day soon I pray that your family-your children still remember him and your youngest has heard just how great of a man he was. Because he really was a great man. I hope Jesus has given you a peace like no one else could in knowing you will be together again.

Dear Jennifer and children,

Jennifer,
I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Daniel's sudden passing. I well remember how much he supported you during your tenure at GC&SU. He was a fine young man, and I could see that he loved you very much. I know you feel lost right now, but do your best to hang in there. Please know that my entire family prays for you and your family as you begin this new phase in your life. I truly do believe, however, that you will never be without him, for his spirit will be in you and in your children.
In deepest sympathy,
Chris, Susan, and Adam Hendley

When we recieved the message that Daniel had gone home to be with the Lord my first reaction was "no Lord its too soon" but our time is not God's time.
Jennifer your husband not only talked the talk, he could also walk the walk as a good example of what a christian husband and father should be like. How I wish we had more christian parents like you and Daniel.
We have a beautiful pair of brown Thrashers that come to our house every year to build their nest in a bush near our front steps. We named them Jennifer and Daniel after our good friends.
Lord I know that your way is always the right way but sometimes it really really hurts.
Love and prayers to all of you,
John & Betty Bryant

I and the other faculty members who were here in the music department at Georgia College when you came through are so saddened by the loss of your husband. I didn't know him but from reading the other entries, he must have been a wonderful man. I certainly would have attended the funeral but only heard about it from a student afterwards. We are thinking of you and keeping you and your family in our prayers.

Daniel,
I wanted to tell you something in writing. I send you my biggest hug imaginable. We never really did give hugs (I always figured you werent the hugging type) but I have realized that hugs are love and I did love you like my own brother. I guess this is my way of telling you this other than in prayer but it felt right. I want you to know that I am so happy that you are a part of my family. Hunter and Taylor are amazing and I learn something new every single day. They are a huge part of my life and they mean the world to me. I want you to know that I will do everything I can to protect them and help raise them the way that you would. I know that somewhere you are reading this emial...prolly right behind me over my shoulder somehow or something (little freaky but "Hey, it could happen")But I just want you to know that I will be there for the family in every way that I can. The more I do the more I want to do, but anyways you prolly want to go play with chandler somemore (haha) I better let you go.
Love always,
your little brother
Ps Im sure that Jenn has told you but the babys ok and Jennifer had a good day yesterday. Thanks!

I just heard of his death last night. I use to work with Mr. Thrasher at the Macon YDC. Words cannot express how much his laughter and sense of humor touched my life. He will be greatly missed. He influenced me to plant flowers at my house-everytime I look at my flowers, I will be reminded of his wonderful spirt. May God keep you and your family.
In all things, there is a reason and a season. Jaquel Johnson

Jennifer, Taylor, Hunter and Little One....
Wow....what do I say. I am so extremely sorry about Daniel. He was such a great man, husband and most of all father! He brought so much joy to everyone around him no matter the circumstance. He touched me so many times in his interaction to children. When he would walk in at Nonie's and the kids would flock to his feet and he just played and played. It made them all feel special and loved! What a great man!
Jennifer, girl....be strong for those babies. They need you more than ever now. I don't know how I would do in your place, I really can't imagine. But you know he loves you and is watching over you all! Linsey says to tell you that he is in heaven with Gunner. That makes her feel better! : ) Most importantly take care of yourself. That baby is depending on you.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help. Words can't express how deeply sorry we all are for you loss. BE STRONG. We love you all!

March 28, 2006
Jennifer, Taylor, Hunter, and Butterbean:
What beautiful tributes we have seen to a beautiful man! Attendance at the visitations and the funeral and the wonderful words spoken here are evidence of the impact Daniel had on our world. I think he’s up there, smiling that smile, shaking his head in wonder as he sees the effect he had on people! I can hear him now – “I don’t understand the big commotion. I was just being me….”
Maurice tried to explain the Nichols family’s loss to someone, and he said “you know how when people marry into a family, some families feel they’re ‘stuck’ with that in-law? Well, in this situation, Daniel was the one who got stuck with us, not the other way around!” (Oh boy, Daniel could have had a field day with that one, huh?) Maurice went on to explain that our family was so truly blessed to have had Daniel as part of it, our lives are so much richer for having known him, and he is so right!
You are all in our prayers and will continue to be as time goes on. We hold you up so that God may encompass you with his love and bring peace and understanding to you. Daniel is not far away – he is the tear slowly tracing a path down your face; he is the flower boldly jutting its head up out of the earth; he is the butterfly fluttering softly past you; he is smell of freshly mown grass; he is the song you sing along with on the radio; he is the bud on the tree snapping open to show its beauty; he is the breeze that gently caresses your cheek; and he is the smile on your face when you remember all the good times…. Oh, there are so many good memories to hold on to – do that, hold them tightly, and always remember…. He is with God, and he is watching over you and always will be.
And Daniel, it's not goodbye - it's just see you later! Keep 'em laughing up there! We miss you, buddy!

Jennifer,
I worked with Daniel at Macon and I was the one that gave him the black lab dog a few years ago.We shared some great dog stories.
I can't seem to get you and your children off my mind. They are beautiful and I know they will bring you much joy.
The service for Daniel was so touching. I could just hear him saying to his friends with the hats, "Roll Tide".
It was evident that he was loved by many, know that they are all praying for you. May your faith in God help heal the loss and fill the void. Daniel was a great person and will be missed by all.

Jennifer, Taylor, Hunter, and little one,
You were so blessed to have Daniel in your life and we were blessed to have known him. We know he is in the presence of Jesus now because we could see his faith and his deep belief in our wonderful Savior.
I know that during this time only God can give you the strength to face the many decisions you have to make. Like I told you on the phone Saturday night, you must do what is best for you and your precious children. Please know that we are here for you when you need us. If you need dinner, babysitters, a place to stay, or anything please call on us. I have constantly been praying for God's strength for you and will continue to pray that way over the weeks ahead!
We love you!

To all of Daniels Family, especially Jennifer, Taylor, Hunter and baby on the way. We are truly sorry for your loss, as we have lost the greatest nephew God could have blessed anyone with. He will be missed by many. He was loved by all. Just want you to know that we are here for you if you should ever need us for anything. Richard sends his love from Afghanistan and his deepest sympathy. We are truly sorry that we were not able to attend but please know that we are and will remain thinking and praying for you all.
Tommy, Richard wants you to know that you are his brother and he loves and misses you and that he is truly sorry for your loss.
We love you all,

I don't know where to start, but I felt as if I had to say something. I was Daniel's boss at Macon YDC for several years. He reminded me of my son, James. I meant this as he had some of the same wonderful characteristics of my son. Daniel saw humor in everything. He was a good teacher, a good employee and I considered him a good friend. To his family, there are no words that can make the heart feel better or the pain be any less, so I won't even try. Time and your faith in God will help you through this. Know that he was a well respected and loved young man. He will be missed by all. md

Jennifer, Taylor, Hunter, and Butterbean,
Jenn, you are more of a sister to me than a best-friend and Daniel was like a brother to me. I am going to miss him so much. He could always make me laugh. I am going to miss all the cookouts and fun times we all had together. You and the kids will forever be in my heart and prayers! Like I told you tonight, I will be here for you whenever you need me, even if I have to buy a house next door to you, I will be there to help you in any way that I can. I love you and the kids.

Jennifer, Judy, Keith, Tommmy--
When mom called me Friday night, my heart just fell. I'm one of Daniel's many cousins from Alabama. I see Taylor and Hunter from time to time when they come to Alabama with Judy and I happen to be visiting also. They are just precious kids and I know they will miss their dad.
One thing I do believe, he was welcomed into heaven by his Granny and Grandaddy Taylor, cousin Pat and a whole host of aunts and uncles. Your entire family is being lifted up in prayer by so many people. From the words that I have read in your guest book, Daniel was truly loved by so many friends and relatives. Only God can heal a broken heart and I know that he will heal yours.
Love to everyone,
Joyce

Jennifer, Tater Bug, Hunter and Little one: I love you all so much. As you know, you are my daughter too. Today I was given the priviledge of playing for Daniel's funeral. I played through tears as my thoughts were of Daniel and how his smile would just light up his face. He was precious. I could almost hear him teasing me (like he used to do in the crow's nest at Manley) or making faces at me. He used to get me so tickeled just by making faces. I Was so glad when yall started coming back to Manley to visit. It just blessed my heart. Know that God loves you and is watching out for you and your family. When we get to heaven, we will know why this had to happen. I do know that Jesus loves us and is watching over his children. Daniel is in Heaven watching over all, especially his family. God will be your strength in the next few day, months, and years to come. Brandy & Keith love you so much and you know they will do anything possible for you. Know that I will too. You are dear to me as was Daniel. You have a precious mother and father as well as wonderful inlaws. They will always be there for you. I love you very much! Ms. Verna

Jennifer,
You don't know me, but I knew Daniel when I was younger. I was Amber's babysitter one summer when Mr. Tommy was the pastor at Toomsboro Baptist Church. Daniel would sometimes pick me up or take me home. Daniel was always so nice, and he seemed to have a smile for everyone. When I heard about the accident my heart just sank. I too have 2 small children and cannot imagine what you must be going through. My prayers are with you, your children, as well as Mr. Tommy, Ms. Judy, Amber and their families.

Where to start? So many memories in our kitchens with food and laughs. The constant jokes and picking on Jennifer and I are what I will miss most.

The world lost a GREAT person on March 24, but oh what a gain for those in Heaven. I can see him now joking with the angels with his contagious laughter and sense of humor. I knew Daniel for a short time when I worked at Macon YDC, but it took only a few minutes talking with him to know that his family meant more to him than anything. Just a couple weeks ago at the Education Conference he met me with the biggest smile to let me know he would be a new Daddy again. As was his nature he joked that when his little girl asked what he wanted a boy or a girl he said "a puppy". He will be truely missed by all. To Jennifer and family, may the wonderful memories of Daniel and knowing that he made such a positive and lasting impression on everyone he met ease some the pain.

Jennifer, Alice, Farrell, Jon, Debi, & Jason, Our hearts are just aching for you right now. We were so shocked to read about Daniel in the paper Sunday afternoon. By the time we found out, it was too late to come on Sunday and I had already committed to sit with this pecious 93 year old lady on Monday. Please know that you are all so much in our thoughts and that we will be praying for you constantly. Even in our sadness, though, there is comfort in knowing that Daniel is in the presence of Jesus...the One he loved the most. What hope in knowing that you'll be with him again one day! You are all very special to us and we love you dearly. We'll talk to you soon. Much, much love, Kathy & Glenn

Jennifer,
As you know, Daniel and I go way back from his Georgia College days to working together during his teaching for CGTC at the Macon YDC. I have visited with Daniel often at the YDC, on our campus in Macon, and over the phone dealing with work related issues but we always managed to have some jokes and a good time taking care of business. He and I spent about one and a half hours together last Tuesday at the Macon campus discussing and reviewing information for an upcoming DTAE review. I know words cannot heal your hurt now or ever but do know that if there is anything I can do for you and the children, all you have to do is call. I, like everyone with whom he had contact, will miss Daniel and my life has been better because of knowing and working with him. I pray God's strength on you as you deal with this.
Hank
Jennifer Thrasher
March 27, 2006
Thank you to everyone for your beautiful words. You will never know how much they mean to me and my children. As I write, I cannot stop crying. Please pray that I can remain strong for my children. Anyone who know us well, knows Daniel was the #1 parent in this family (in my opinion). He was the best husband and best daddy anyone could ever have. He has also been my absolute best friend for the past 14 years. I am not sure at this moment how to carry on everyday without having him there to guide my way, give me advice with everything in life or make me laugh. I was told once if you can have at least one good belly laugh a day with your spouse you are going to make it. Daniel provided me with dozens everyday. ....Many of you have commented on his smile. He had the most beautiful smile. A smile that would just melt my heart. He also had the most gorgeous blue eyes. He blessed my children with these same blue eyes. Each time I look at them, I see their daddy. He was such a good man and will be missed more than life itself. I loved him with all my heart and forever will. There will never be another like him. God broke the mold after making Daniel. I just wish he could have given me more time to hold on to him and love him. I am trying not to ask God why this had to happen, I know there are no answers to that question right now. But I am asking, "How am I suppose to carry on?" I know God will give me the strength and I have honestly felt Daniel holding me up these past few days, as all I want to do is crumble to the ground. He was and always will be my strength and strong hand. He was able to do this because he was truely a Man of God. He took the roles of husband, father, and head of the household very seriously and I am the better mother and wife for it. He made me complete. He was my opposite in many ways, but he completed my circle of happiness. Once again, thank you to each of you. Just continue to pray for us.
Jennifer Thrasher
To our "Best ol' Buddy"-
You will be missed. We love you and always will.

Jennifer,
Words cannot begin to describe the loss I feel. Daniel came into my life 16 years ago and came to love him and then 3 years ago we renewed an old friendship. Just three weeks ago we sat and I listened as he talked about his family and the news he shared about the new baby on the way. He was all smiles to say the least.
Jennifer, you and your family are in my thoughts prayers. May God richly bless all of you during this most difficult time.

To know him, was to love him, he was a very wounderful person. I was one of the first person to see Thrasher, when he arrived on Macon YDC Campus for work. He always make jokes, we would laugh, and he would go on to stard his day. Some days he would forget his key to unlock his padlock, and he would say "Aaron I forgot my key, I don't know what I was thinking". and I would tell him that I call him when the Captin come in. Thrasher was full of life and loved to see others smiling. He will be greatly missed by everyone at Macon YDC. We have to accept the things that God allow to happen, and thank him for allowing Thrasher to be a part of our lives. Rest on my friend, I love you.

I pray for you to have the strength to carry on for Taylor, Hunter and the new one on the way. You will always be in my prayers and may God bless you everyday of your life.

Jennifer, dear one. I was so terribly saddened to learn of your loss today (Sunday). Nora had not heard either so we grieved together. Dan was such a wonderful young man and there are so many of us here at GC&SU who will miss him so very much. My heart and prayers are with you and your family. Please call me if I can do anything. A prior commitment will make me miss his services but know that I will be thinking of you tomorrow - and days after too. Much love. Joy

Oh Jennifer, I am so very sorry. My heart just goes out to you and the children. I hope that just hearing about how so many people thought such wonderful things about the man who chose you and loved you with all his heart helps you through this time. Everything I have read here has brought the personality of DAN THE MAN, as we knew him, back to me with a smile. You and the children have my prayers.

I was part of the "lunch bunch" at Macon YDC. Daniel always teased me about abondoning him and the lunch bunch to return to public school. In the two years since I have been gone from Macon YDC, I have maintained contact with Daniel through emails and visits to the YDC. He was a wonderful man. He loved God and his family. He and I are both "preacher's kids" and we had many discussions about our faith and the influence good Godly Christian parents can be. It was his goal to be a good father/husband/friend/teacher. He always defended his beliefs and never appologized for his faith.He was a tremendous man and a ray of sunshine to everyone he met and knew. I loved him dearly; he was my friend. Jennifer,Taylor,and Hunter keep Daniel's love and memory with you. Jennifer with your new child never cease to tell him/her what an awesome dad Daniel was.

From the moment we heard on Friday, you have been in our prayers all throughout the day. We don't even know how to express our sorrow for you but know that we will continue to uplift you and your family in prayer. Please take care of yourself for this new life that you are caring (congratulations). We pray that you feel God's arms around you and that you do do know that Daniel is in a wonderful place, though way too soon.

Today as I write this my heart if full of sadness and joy. Daniel "Trasher" or "D", I called him at the Macon YDC. He impacted his students in ways that will never be forgotten. His students loved his class and loved planting flowers on campus. They are already talking of planting trees and flowers in his memory at work. 6 of us ate lunch together every day. We called it the lunch bunch (Daniel, Elizabeth White, Suzanne Ackerman, Elaine Tobias, Christina Jump, who according to Daniel "abanodoned us to teach at WRMS", and I enjoyed lunch and laughter every single day. We discussed everything from our families, our job, and our frustrations with each other. It was a great place to release our personal issues. Most of the laughter was provided with by one of Daniel's stories or immitations. When he was discussing his "recipes", he spoke as "Julia Child", complete with annimations or the old, Cajun guy on the cable food channel. We were also privy to stories like the Stone Mountian bike "adventure" with his family. His stories of Jennifer, Taylor and Hunter provided us with laughter and helped to brighten the day. Several members of the lunch bunch often discussed the fact they were old enough to be his mother (and treated him that way). There are no words to begin to talk about the loss I feel personally or the loss our entire staff and students are feeling. We are just devestated. However, we know Daniel had a strong faith and was quick to share it with everyone. I am proud to have had the opportunity to have spent 4 years of my life with the fine, kind-hearted man that NEVER met a stranger or a student he couldn't reach. He always covered other teachers classes, many times more than 1 other class besides his own. He NEVER complained or fussed. He just said, "No problem!" As we begin to cope with this enormous loss as a staff at the Macon YDC, we are comforted by God's promises that Daniel is in a better place and the Lord will continue to guide and support Jennifer and the children throughout their lifetimes. I am both honored and grateful to have had Daniel as not only a co-worker but a very dear and close friend. All my love and prayers are with his entire family (and ours at the Macon YDC). Thank you for being my friend, D...I love you dearly, Daniel...
