Dear Kim and Jim and family,
We are so sorry to hear about Dan. My memories of him were of a kind, caring, and friendly guy. He was not your typical teenager in his openess towards us. He had a way of making people feel accepted and liked. He was really special. I'm sure you all miss him terribly.
We will keep you all in our prayers. God bless you and take care of you in your journey through your grief and loss.

Dear Jim, Kim, Mike and Beth - Our prayers go out to you during this time of sorrow. From reading the other guestbook entries, Dan had (not surprisingly) a warm and caring heart and many talents. May Dan now put those to good work in God's heaven.
With deepest sympathies,

Dear Jim, Kim, and family, I just got a call (Oct. 3) from Aaron Woods about Dan's passing. I am so sorry. I pray the Lord's strength for you as you deal with this loss. My memories of Dan will always be on the soccer field where he had fun using his talents. I pray he's enjoying the peace of our Lord's presence. May He be your comfort
In His love, Joey Staples and the Shelterwood family

Dan was a unique and a very loving person. I believe God has invited him into his kingdom of heaven where he can continue to live a life that is rid of the pain he felt on earth. I loved Dan very much as a dear friend and he will always be close to my heart. I spent my birthday this summer with Dan and he was the first one to make me feel special. He had a beautiful way of expressing his love for others. He cared deeply for his friends and family and I will miss him very very much

I saw Dan a couple weeks ago for the first time in a long time and we joked and said hi for a minute before he and Bobby took Nick out. I won't ever forget going skiing with my family, him and the rest of your family, and some other people including the Bellon's. Particularly I remember one night when Dan and Mike and Nick and Danny Bellon and I went out and got some dinner and generally had a good time joking with each other and laughing.
He was funny and kind hearted and will of course be missed by me and many others.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Trulaske, Mike and Beth. He was always the sweetest kid and it was so easy to put a smile on his face. I know that he is in a better place now and I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers so that you may know that too. I'll never forget Dan, or the memorable times that we had together, thanks to the awesome person that the four of you helped him become.
