Daniel in Heaven;

We were brought together by my daughter, Nancy, at Johnny's Pub in Munster, Ind., where we enjoyed a one time meeting of conversation and friendship.

Time faults an old man's memory, but I seem to recall that "Jesus Christ" died on the Cross for all our sins at age 33. Daniel, you passed in good company. Perphaps "God The Father" felt it was time for a younger Iron-Worker to come in and take charge of "His" building requirements for the New Millenium.

All of your relatives, friends and Irish Rogues you left behind will always remember you as their "O Danny Boy".

“Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.” 2Corinthians 5:1 As an ironworker, Danny helped build America; now he helps God build heaven. God bless Danny’s family in your time of grief.

My sincere condolenses to Danny's family. He was a great guy to talk to and met some of my family members when they were in town. The last time I saw him was at the gas station. I asked him how he was doing and he replied OK, "But I miss my kids". Rest in peace my Irish buddy Danny Boy!

My Uncle Danny was the best. I love him so much but my mommy tells me he is in heaven now, I want you all to know how cool Uncle Danny was. I am sad for Amanda mark and jacob, and Daniel. But I want to say that Uncle Danny was the best uncle any one could have.

We extend our deepest sympathy to the family for the loss of Danny. He was a good friend, a good man, and always willing to help someone. He had the bluest eyes that anyone had ever seen. He was a lot of fun and always a good time; we especially enjoyed canoeing with him and partying with him at his house. Thanks Danny for all the good fun times we had in high school. It is too difficult to sum up the life of a person in just a few words here; we have too many memories to share. To Crystal and the kids: we love you and we are always here for you.

Love, Matt and Valeria

I knew Danny since grade school. I'm a carpenter and worked on the same job as him a few times. Danny was a good guy and he will definitely be missed by all that worked along side of him.



Rest in peace.

Danny Lopez was a hard working man that loved his children more than anything else. He will be remembered by me as a man who liked to have fun , whether it was camping, skiing, or just sitting by the fire drinking a beer, he liked being with friends having fun. God Bless

Lopez - Salinas Family

Speaking for the many members of the Lopez Family, we are heart-broken at the loss of Danny. We all dearly loved him. Remember his bicycle rides (in the snow and ice) to Aunt Esther's house Christmas day for tamales and rice. ... His big blue eyes and his love for all his family. We know he is in heaven now with his Mom and Dad, Mark, and all his family who loved and watched over him from heaven and earth. He was a beautiful baby and a beautiful man. We'll miss you Danny!

Love all your Lopez related Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins.
