I was so sorry to hear of Danny's passing. I have known him and Dawn for years personally and through my sister Kristina. I met him many times at CJ's where everyone that worked with him and for him had such a wonderful time. They were all family it seemed. I still have such a hard time processing this and I feel such sorrow for Chris and Dawn. Danny was an exceptional person and my sister's dearest and best friend. His loss is compounded for me by my sister's loss of her best friend as well, and our lives will never be the same. It was an honor to have known him and to have considered him part of our family. A nicer and greater man and human being the world will never know. I will always remember his happiness and sense of humor, his extraordinary kindness and generosity. God bless him. The world is a little darker now because of his passing. I hope he knew how loved he was by all of us. "The LORD giveth and the LORD taketh away"

I am so sorry for your loss. I Have known Jimmy since 1st grade of school, and met Danny in middle school when we worked in CJ's together. I found out that Danny lived by me when our friend Big Al passed away. I was so happy to run into Danny at the mall a few days before Christmas. He looked great he expressed how happy he was with his life. We talked of old times and of Al and how you have to live life to the fullest, that you just never know. I was so lucky to have got to spend that short time with him. I will miss him. To all of his family I am so sorry. Danny will be missed

Danny, I can't express how much I have missed you in the short time that you have departed. I know you are in a better place in a state of peace...we always talked about that after our day together sitting in the pool on the raft! That is a special experience that you, nor I will ever forget. It is what has allow me to release to our Lord. Peace be with you, my brother. Karen
