Wow Another year gone by. I will always remember my big buddy and the great times we had together in PCB fla. From snorkeling for sand dollars to riding our motorcycles. I'm missing him and praying that all Daniels loved ones are remembering the good times they had with him on this painful day. May God bless you all.

I had the privilege to serve with Daniel in the USAF Reserves at Duke Field, FL. He was a very friendly and kind person and my heart certainly goes out to his family and his many many friends at this terrible time. I was shocked and very sorry to hear of his passing and really wish that I could have gotten to know him better. I can see in the many photos and testaments to him that I have looked over in the past several days that he lived a life that brought honor to him his family and his country. I am truly proud to have served with him and although unfortunately being a "weekend warrior" it was a brief time it definitely was a very positive and memorable experience that I will always remember. RIP Brother.

I have nothing but good things to say about Danny. I grew up in Fairhaven Heights so I have known him since we were kids. We played basketball and football together for years and had lot of laughs goofing around together. I will pray for Danny's family. I have a heavy heart. Sincerely, Pat Mahoney.

Daniel Lykins was one of the best, most positive people I ever met. He helped me through a lot of things both professionally and personally overseas as well as back home. He truly had a heart of gold and the world is now a lesser place. Godspeed Daniel. You will be missed.
