I knew Danny from daycare as well, I will miss him and his kind spirit. He was such a joy there. I had my last ft call with him just a year earlier and I didn’t know he had cancer but we still chatted about one day catching up and go on a guys night but I know he will always be in my heart. Rest easy dude.
Please accept our deepest condolences for the loss of Daniel. We pray that our loving Heavenly Father (Psalm 83:18) grants you peace during this difficult time.
I just found out about Danny. I am so sorry that I was not at his service. My heart is broken. Danny was such a sweet young man and I loved working with him at Polaris Career Center. I will remember him and your family in my prayers. My sympathies are with all of you. God has another sweet angel by his side.
Ron, Bessie & family – our deepest condolences to all. you will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Heaven has gained an Angel. Many hearts are broken today. I am so sorry for this incredible loss, Danny was a remarkable child. He had the biggest heart around, I only ever saw him as a child just wanting to please others around him. When he helped/worked , he threw himself totally in. Never wanting to stop until that job was done.
My son met him at daycare. Of course Danny was 4 yrs older. But Logan loved him. He idolized him. Had to have his number for play time, just in case he said. We had his number before we ever met the rest of his family. Our hearts are broken.
Rest In Peace, Danny. You will be greatly missed. You will be thought of daily. You were taken too soon. He must have an important job for you to do up there.
Tracy and Jarod, my deepest sympathy for the passing of Danny. May God hold him in his arms, show him love and give him peace for eternity.
Daniel had a heart of gold and will be forever missed. While he jokingly asked us social workers for things like a million dollars and a dirt bike, when I actually talked to him about him being eligible for a Wish because of his cancer he said “no thanks, I have everything I need. “. He was always so easy going, never with a complaint despite all he had to go through (except for maybe about the food). He had a beautiful soul and will be missed by many. Rest Easy sweet Danny.
