I was so shocked and sorry to read of Dan's passing. Dan was one of the first I met when I first joined PFLAG Columbus. He was a great help to the PFLAG Columbus organization and the glbt community for many years.

Dan was an outstanding young man with a pure and good heart. My deepest condolences to his family. He was more than a student, he was a friend. He left way to soon. God speed, Dan.

I remember both of you boys with a warm heart. I would see you heading to the church with your mowers. Dan certainly did well in his short lifetime. I am indeed saddened to learn of his passing.
