I am so saddened by this news. I had the pleasure of coaching Daniel on my West End Youth Center midget baseball team when he was 11 and 12 years old, and he always brought a passion for the game and for life with a sense of humor and a smile on his face. Dan was a competitor who always put his team first. He will be missed. Rest in Peace, my friend.
