Dear Roach family,
I'm shocked to hear about Daniel's passing! My Daughter, Holly is in shock too. She said" I Love Daniel" Daniel was in my Pack Time group and was always smiling and friendly. He will be greatly missed by all who had the honor to know him. I think he handled his unexpected responsibilties with maturity and he made the best of this situation. I was so proud of him for that! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time!

Roach and I were good friends. I knew him for a little over a year, and he was a very loving person with a very big heart, he always had that big smile on his face, and loved his Son dearly. I give my most deepest sympathies at this time. God has a plan for Daniel even though he's in heaven he will always remain in my heart. I love you Roach

Daniel was a really good friend of mine over the years. I played pee wee football at Pineview with him 11 years ago and through our years of White Knoll football. He was an extremely jovial person and always congenial to the highest regard, not a day will go by where he does not cross my mind. Even though he no longer is among us, he will always be with us and someday we will be with him. The Roach Family, you will be in my prayers and if there is ANYTHING you need don't ever hesitate to ask. Love you Daniel.

We are praying for you all and hope that you have the strength to get through this. Our love and prayers go with you .

My condolences to the Roach family. When tragedy strikes and takes the life of our loved ones, we cry out due to the pain in our heart. Our tears are not unnotice by our Heavenly Father. Although your deep pain will not easily disappear. But always remember Almighty God is near to those who are broken in heart and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.

"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget."
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
