Each of us have been blessed with chapters of Daniel's life and in those we

want to live and live we shall in his memory. Daniel, had grown to be an all

merciful, forgiving soul with the largest compassionate heart of the man

that was nicknamed “Chunk” in his earlier days. Daniel was honery to say

the least, but also would truly lend a helping hand to those in need. I am

sure each of you could add so much more, as I know you experienced

Daniel's love in these special ways.

As you mayknow,Daniel loved others deeply and enjoyed each moment he

got to spend with you at any point in time. Daniel was passionate about his

family and the moments that were shared with them. Daniel was special.

Daniel mattered. He was here and made a powerful impact on many of our

lives. I admire the way Daniel lived and loved unconditionally. I especially

admired his love for our Lord and Savior, or as he would say, ' ' My Jesus' '

and then tell you about him if you didn't know him. Daniel was Joyous in

all things no matter the outcome. He was a perfect depiction of the melody,

' 'Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy down in my heart. ' ' It was in his heart to stay. He

would want you to live till you can not live no more as he did. So honor him

today, tomorrow and the ' 'rest ' ' of your days doing just that. "All that we

love deeply, becomes a part of us."- Helen Keller

Mayweall …continue to love deeply and may each gift of love from Daniel

remain to be forever a part of us.
