To everyone who has added more memories and thoughts regarding Daniel. I have learned so much more about my son from all the friends and parents Daniel has touched during his time here. I can not express my most sincere thanks to all of you who have shared their own stories of Daniel with me. Daniel was one heck of a guy and a very special friend to everyone he came in contact with. That makes me so PROUD to be his Mom!! Daniel will TRULY be missed by everyone, but not FORGOTTEN!! Remember the memories you all have and when you think of Daniel I hope you all smile for him. Thanks again for all your support during this time of grief. I miss you Daniel with all my heart. I love you, and I will see you later!!!
Love you always your PROUD Mom!

Hey Big D,
We have been friends ever sence elementry school, and it hurts me so much to know that you are gone. This whole thing still feels like a bad dream. Every time i think about you, and the times we had skating at straw hat, I get a fat smile on my face, and wish I could go back in time to do it all over again. I just wish there was something I could do to bring you back. You'll always be in my heart and in my thoughts. I love you dog!
"!Peace!"
Hey, if there are any street races up in heaven, you beter be smoking some people. TEAM R-spec will miss you forever.

Daniel, I didn't know you that well, but I have known Athena since 4th grade. She mentioned you a lot, and she told me that you were the one who taught her how to skateboard. I saw you around school. I hope you RIP and I still think of you just like everyone else does. The thing is, you brought the best out of Athena in her skateboarding because she's really good at it. Take care.....

I just want to say that when Daniel died it was one of the most devistating things that has happened to me for as long as i can remember. I know i didn't know Daniel that well but I knew the family and I was best friends with his little sister. I considered that whole family my other family because they were always there for me. Daniel would give me rides home (unwillingly) but he did it anyways. I didn't realize how much Daniel ment to me untill he pass away. i cried and cried for about 3 days straight. But when i saw Athena and Ann being happy and being strong, it made me think that they shouldn't be the ones comforting me, i should be the one comforting them. So now I try to make the best of things and be happy and try to help them out when they go through a bad situation. I now have a new kind of respect for that family and I would like them to know that i will always be here if they need someone to talk to, or just listen, or a shoulder to cry on. I want to stay apart of that family as much as i can a this is the only way i can help. I love you guys with all my heart and i just want to help.
Your Friend Forever and as long as you want me:

Ann and family - I can't say anything that could possibly make you feel any better, but I want you to know that I will always be here for you through thick and thin. I didn't know Daniel peronsally, but from what I have heard, he was a great young man. It's a pure tragedy when someone who has so much life ahead of them is snuffed out so suddenly. I am genuinely sorry that such a terrible thing had to happen, and my condolances go out to you and anyone who was affected by his death. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask me. I love you guys so much!

Ann a.k.a. Mom,
It's too bad we got so close over a tradgey. But I want you to know that I love you as if you were my second mom and I will be here for you whenever you need me. You had such a great son. He was always so warm and caring and a blast to be around. He always had suh a big and beautiful smile on his face. I never once saw him mad. which actually suprised me because it seemed like evey other day there would be something else wrong with his car. But he always laughed about it and let it roll off his back. We must remember that Daniel is in no more pain and he is happy where he is. everything happens for a reason. I too think Dan wants us to be close and I thank him for that. Because I don't know what I'd do without you, Athena, Jeff, And Tyler. Just think we now have an awesome guardian angel to watch over us and keep us safe. I love you Ann (mom) and I'm always just a phone call away.

Daniel,
You were such an awesome friend and I will miss you greatly. I feel so privleged to have got the chance to know you so well. To anyone who didn't get the chance to meet you they truly missed out on a great person. I still can't believe you're really gone. I still expect to get a phone call from you wanting to hang out. But I know deep in my heart I'll never get to hear your voice on the other end again. I can't believe you actually had a crush on me. But you know whats wierd?! I had a crush on you too! I will never forget all of our late night phone calls and letter writtimg back and fourth in third period. Gosh Daniel I miss you alot and I don't know what I am going to do without you. come back to me in my dreams again and say hello. I love you Daniel and I always will. You are forever in my thoughts and prayers.

Ann, my heart goes out to your family. No words can ever express the loss of a loved one. We hold our children dear to us and think they will outlive us. Never do we think that we will lose our children. God can't provide the answers right now, but he will help you through. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
