    Danny,
    I moved here 25 years ago and soon after that he became friends. I can’t think of a time in the 25 years we’ve ever had an issue or a disagreement. You were there if you saw my hardest times… In fact I’m not mistaken, you saved my life once.
    Had I known you were hurting, I would’ve made more of an effort to be there for you.
    Rest in power brother!

    Dan was a great friend that I talked to rarely. The thing is , every time I saw him, it’s like no time had passed. He was a gentle and loving soul and only his close friends knew it. I am sad. His family has lost a great one. I pray for his family including his children.

    I am at a loss for words…Daniel was a truly amazing man who loved all his friends and family with all his heart. I will always remember hearing him say “I love you to ashes.” I never would have thought that day would come so soon. My condolences to his fiance, Macie, and the rest of his family. Please don’t ever forget that he loved you all with all of his heart. He will forever be missed.
