Daniel,

It is hard to make sense of it all with you gone. But I know that your light will carry on in all of those that were lucky enough to share even a moment with you.

To your family, I still have no words. My arms are here to put around you whenever you wish.

So much love.

Daniel's favorite super hero was Captain America which was very fitting for Daniel, for he was an honest and compassionate man with a strength that inspired those around him. In the short time I worked with Daniel I saw the hero he was to his family, his friends, anybody who needed help up, and to his TJ's family. Daniel had many super powers from being able to whip out a joke when needed, to see someone down and out and lift them up, to tackle any task needed to support those he loved, to make your heart smile. My love to your family and wonderful mom who shows the world the same beautiful spirit you do. Batman misses you buddy.

Daniel, I am going to miss your face and your smile. You always looked like you were laughing at some inside joke. This just isn't fair that you aren't here and your family is going to be hurting so much without you. Thank you for always being there to help whenever I asked, and for being so open with your thoughts and honest and downright blunt. The world was a better place for it! I'm going to think of you happy and vibrant and smiling like the last time I saw you. My heart is breaking for the ones you've left behind. You are so loved.

How about the fact that he was an AMAZING father?! Those two girls were his pride and joy! He worked two jobs for them and his bride to be. They were ALL he ever talked about!
Daniel, I will miss talking to you at work! I'm so proud of the person you were and the man you were! You took those two girls and your fiancé under your wings and were striving to give them the life that they deserved. The Disney wedding, the good schools, and one day a house of their own! You and your family will forever be in my thoughts and prayers! R.I.P. Buddy, til we meet again!
