I so enjoyed getting to know Danny when I helped coach the basketball team he was part of. He always had a smile on his face and a happy, joyful personality. I loved his hand puppets! He will be missed! Rest in Peace Danny

Everyone at Theatre Adventure is devastated by the news of Danny's passing. I think I can say that he was easily the most popular student in our Theatre Adventure Thursday Troupe. He lit up a room whenever he entered. His fellow actors adored him and always made sure he was included and highlighted in everything we worked on together. His smile and friendly banter always made my heart melt. Over recent years I've watched in awe as Sher and Ed transformed Danny's life. He became healthier, happier and had a new lightness to his personality- bigger smiles, more jokes, more at ease and increased interaction with his peers. None of our lives will ever be the same without our Rhinestone Cowboy. Sending much love to his family and all who are mourning his sudden loss.

I'm sorry for your loss. Danny was such a joyful person to know. My memories include little toys, many Minions, building houses, Theatre Adventure, books, and singing - especially "You've Got a Friend In Me". Gentle blessings, Denise
