Dear Linda, Paul and Russell,

My heart broke when I learned about Danny's death. Even though I haven't seen Danny or Russell since elementary school, I remember them as if it was yesterday. All of my memories are wonderful ones. Love to you all,

Dearest Linda & Paul,

I could not believe it when I read Danny's name in the neighborhood newsletter. I watched this sweet boy grow into a polite young man over the years.



We are sorry that we missed hearing of his passing earlier. You both will always be in Ray's and my thoughts and prayers.

I am very sorry to hear of Daniel's passing. From what little I knew of him, he really seemed like a good kid. We talked music a bit here and there a few years ago. I can only hope he's at peace now.

Peace To All

My sincere condolences on your loss. Dan was known by me as Zumbi online at Mayberry games. It has truly shocked me to find out he has passed. I have only good memories gaming with him as Zumbi. He was a very funny talented guy that many of us enjoyed many hours playing Day of Defeat with.

I am also deeply saddened by your loss. Dan will be missed by all of us. Although I primarily knew Dan from gaming with him, he also was very talented when it came to his artwork. Words can not express my sorrow, but i do hope these words provide some comfort thru these difficult times.

I'm sorry for your loss. I knew Dan as well from Mayberry Games. I'm at a loss as to what to say but I remember him as being a very talented artist and a great friend to have. Though I never truly met him, it greatly saddens me to hear of his passing.

I knew your son primarily through online gaming, but he frequently posted his thoughts/artwork in online gaming community forums that we both frequented. I am extremely saddened and shocked by your sudden loss and extend my sincere condolences. God bless.

Dan.. I'm flat out going to say that I miss you. I'm sorry I haven't talked to you in a long time, and I really regret it now. We've known each other for, what, 4 or so years now? I never got to thank you for helping me get through tough times. Remember when I used to say "lylab?" before we'd say goodbye after our 2-4 AM talks? I still do. I remember you telling me about Amanda like it was yesterday; when you first started liking her, and when you first started going out. You've always been a brother to me in a way, even after we started drifting. I never got to thank you for helping Adam and I with our relationship, and if it wasn't for you it might not have worked out the way it has. Thank you for the times we've had, and I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet in person. You were an absolutely amazing artist, and an amazing person. We should have played DoD more often. D:



I love you like a brother. I won't stop thinking about you, and you've got a little place in my heart. R.I.P. Zumbi <3

I knew your son for five years when I attended classes with him at LBJ High. He was a great guy and I'm in shock over what has happened. My prayers are with you, him and the rest of your family. I am deeply sorry for your lost. I just wish I had known about this sooner so I could have attended his services.
