Daniel always led an active life, playing both baseball and soccer for years, and he was always seen with a skim board at the beach. Daniel was a shining light in our family and in our lives. He brought so much joy and love to everyone, whether it was through his incredible smile, compassionate heart, or his love of his entire family. He was truly the life of any party and could light up someone's day in an instant. We are deeply saddened by his passing, but we will forever remember the laughs and the love that he brought to life. Daniel pushed hard for those he loved, and we will always push on for him now. We will carry on your light and your memory always, Dan. Rest in peace; you will be missed by all, until we meet again.
