Ty and Denise. I did not know your son, only met him once or twice and knew him through Dustin and Steve and Steve's stories of Chris and the gang. By their accounts I would say he was a dedicated friend, humorous person, care-free enjoying life person. An extremely talented artist who I often thought that when it came time to get my memorial tattoo of my mom and sister, he would be the person I would go to. I pray that you all find some comfort tomorrow being surround by all the people your son touched and comfort in knowing that he was well loved everywhere he went.

Surreal. The only word that comes to mind right now. One of a kind cat who never gave up. You accomplished your dreams Danley, and for that you'll always be a beast. We're proud to say we knew you and will forever sport your amazingly talented art on our bodies with love. I will never forget you did your first full sleeve on my naked arm and you were so stoked to have a blank canvass. You will be missed.

Losing someone who's brought so much life, energy and sunshine into so many lives is one of the hardest losses to accept. I am deeply saddened and heart broken for your loss. May his spirit be just as bright and free as it was when he was with us.
