We are so sorry to hear of Daniel's passing. We had the priveledge of meeting Daniel at Hippocraties in Florida a few months ago. What a wonderful young man he was. We had a room in the same building and my husband and Daniel spent time together on the deck talking about his hopes and dreams. He was such a wonderful and caring young man. He talked a lot about his family and how supportative you have been for him. He also talked of his girlfriend and how much it meant to him to have her support. The world was a better place because of Daniel and he will be missed by many. Please know that we will be lifting each of you in prayer at this difficult time. We feel honored to have been able to meet Daniel and he will always remain in our hearts.

I met Daniel 20 years ago when his older brother, sister, and I took karate together. It was amazing watching both his martial arts and his personality evolve. My deepest sympathy to the Fernandez family.
Peace, love, and blessings,

I may not have been able to stay in touch as much as I should have with Dan, but he made growing up so much easier even if it was only middle school. He was truly an amazing friend and person, he and his family will always be in my prayers!
