Even though he's gone
his memory still remains in our hearts.
His smile and face will never fade.
We think of him as we go on each day.
The good times we remember
and the days spent together
will be in our memories forever.
So when you start to get down
and you really want to cry
just think of the fun times
and don't wonder why.
Just leave it at that
and know he's better now.
He's in a better place
His heart was right with God.
So Danny we love you
and we miss you so much
but we know you're much happier.
So watch over us and make sure we're okay
and we will see you again someday.

I was devastated to hear of Danny's passing. My husband and I first met Danny when he was a freshman at EHS. He knew we were Adam David's parents, and he came up to us at a school function, and introduced himself to us. He was so friendly and kind and we were immediately impressed with him. We enjoyed watching him grow in high school and were so proud to hear he went on to serve his country and then continue to be a part of the community through his coaching, etc. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to the family, may God comfort you all with the peace that only He can give. Adam sends his condolences (from Iraq) as well.
