Daniel Lyons Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 19, 2014.

Daniel Patrick Lyons, 33, of Alexandria, VA, passed away Saturday, May 17, 2014 in Camp Hill, PA. He was born in Philadelphia on December 14, 1980, son of Patricia A. Lyons and the late Daniel P. Lyons.
Dan was always on the lookout for the next adventure. His life was a mixture of school and service, friends and family, travel and faith, each overlapping the other. He was a graduate of Economics – and Valedictorian – of George Washington University (M.A. 2014), Fordham University (M.A. 2008), the Catholic University of America (B.A. 2003), and Trinity High School (1999). He worked for the State Department of Pennsylvania, Ave Maria University in Florida, and held numerous other assistantships, resident life, volunteer, service and development positions. Dan lit up the room with his smile, loved to play sports, sing off-key to Bruce Springsteen, cheer for Philly teams and Notre Dame, drink a coffee or a Guinness, outscore Jeopardy! contestants, bowl a 200 game, spend time with family and friends, and travel the world. He visited 52 countries and 44 states, leaving an indelible mark upon each destination, whether a mission trip to India to care for the sick or a belated honeymoon to Costa Rica. His final journey was a battle with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which he fought courageously with his wife, Hanna Jo Lyons, for almost five years. He passed peacefully surrounded by family and friends. Dan and Hanna captured and shared their poignant and powerful story, which can be found at http://danlyonsall.blogspot.com/.
Dan was a beloved husband, son, grandson, brother, cousin, nephew, uncle, godfather, godson, and friend. In addition to his mother Patty Lyons, of Camp Hill, PA, and wife, Hanna Lyons of Alexandria, VA, he is survived by his brother Joseph Lyons (wife Sarah, nephew Maxwell, niece Emma) of Pittsburgh, PA. Dan is also survived by Hanna's family: parents, Robert and Wanda Bauer Gabler, of Camp Hill, PA, as well as Hanna's siblings: Tyson Gabler (wife Christy, son Carson) of New Cumberland, PA; Evan Gabler of Harrisburg, PA; Colin Gabler (wife Kathleen) of Athens, OH; Shana Blayney (husband Warren, nephew Ronan, nieces Ellen and Gwyneth) of Camp Hill, PA; Logan Gabler of Camp Hill, PA; and Quintin Gabler of San Francisco, CA. Dan leaves behind family and friends literally all across the world. "Little Danny" joins his father, "Big Dan" who lost his own courageous battle with cancer in July 2011.
The viewing will be Wednesday, May 21, from 6-8pm at Neill Funeral Home, 3401 Market St. Camp Hill. Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, May 22, at 10:30am at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, 3435 Trindle Rd., Camp Hill.
Memorial contributions can be made to Be The Match (www.bethematch.org) or A Simple House (http://asimplehouse.org/donate/).

Daniel Patrick, Danny Love, Green Sweatshirt/White T-shirt Dan, Danny Boy,1st Paladin of Esto Vir, brother, husband, Godfather...

You once wrote to me that you were deeply afraid of being the one who stayed behind...we built a retreat talk around that fear together as we spoke of friendship and the future. A line from thatoem seems fitting here:
'Cross the hills to God knows where-
They never came returnin'.
'Cross the hills to God knows where
The piper pranced, a leadin'
Rest well, brother. You never stayed behind, and keep piping with your love to lead the rest of us God knows where.

Esto Vir,

Luke

I was fortunate enough to meet Dan at an unfortunate time. I was one of the nurses who took care of him at Georgetown when he needed treatment. Dan, Hanna, and I developed more than just a nurse/patient/family relationship - we became friends, even family. I couldn't have asked for better people in my life. I still think of Dan often, and I know I always will. He holds a very special place in my heart - more than anyone I have ever cared for. I miss you, buddy! Thanks for being you.

James Walsh

It is hard to believe that Dan is gone. Not a day will go by without remembering him and the lasting impression he had on all he encountered. He was the best of friends and the best of people and we feel honored to have known him for this all too brief period of time. His memory will live on in the countless lives he has touched around the world.

Love and prayers,
Alison, James, & Audrey Walsh

Kerkjuberjagerlaster Danny! That crazy word was actually a town in Iceland...though we probably butchered the spelling, haha. We used to shout that word at the top of our lungs to express surprise, excitement, anger, or some other strong emotion. It is something I feel compelled to shout right now. I cannot believe my best bud is gone. We have had so many good times together, not just in crazy places throughout the world, but also just locally around Camp Hill watching games, going to diners, playing basketball, talking about girls, living together and living life to the fullest. I cannot believe you are gone. I know you are happy up there in heaven and I know your years of suffering are finally over. You have done so much good in the short time you had and it continues. The seed of goodness you planted grows and grows and I know you are up there rejoicing in it! But I sure do miss you Dyggs. I love and miss you dearly and will continue to talk to you and ask you to put in a good word to The Big Guy for me. Love always.

Dan was an amazing man. A great friend, roommate, and road trip companion. Dan taught me so much about friendship and caring for the people you love. We'll never forget you buddy! Thanks for being such an inspiration to us all. To Hanna, the Lyons family, and Gabler clan, know that you will continue to be in our prayers as your journey continues.

I consider it one of the great privileges of my life to call Dan my friend. From the early college days of staying up too late watching movies or driving up 83 back to PA, to our time of prayer and service together in the House; through the "Crittendon Street" years and ushering at my wedding, to the happiest days of his life - those spent with Hanna - Dan was always a beacon of light and joy in my life, a reminder that good always triumphs and that there is a loving God watching over us. Dan's greatest gift was his example, which taught me to walk in hope, to live with joy, and to love unconditionally. I find myself now constantly asking his help in living these lessons fully, and I trust his guidance and intercession are with us all.

To Hanna, Mrs. Lyons, Joe, and all the Lyons, Machalette, and Gabler families, please be sure of our continued prayers for you. Each day we pray you are more and more comforted by the assurance of Danny's closeness to you in and through the perfect and purifying love of God. May he remain with us always, interceding for us before the throne of our Heavenly Father and bringing us the assurance that in Christ, all will be well.

Thank you for sharing your precious Dan with us. His life has been a gift and a mission of love, and his work continues in the hearts of every life he has touched.

Dan was my brother's friend who became MY friend. My quasi brother who became my REAL brother (in-law). My sister's husband and my children's uncle. He knew all my secrets because whatever I told Hanna (which is everything), she would tell him, and I was ok with that, because it was Danny.
Danny, you have been such a big part of my life and I'm grateful for that. I'll take care of your sweet Hanna, because we are sisters for infinity.

Dan and Hanna,
You are unquestionably two of the best, most wonderful, and most inspirational people on the planet. We want to thank you both for touching our lives. Whether drinks on the patio, karaoke, Foody Goody, trivia, wine fest, or just hanging out at your apartment or a "Genie party," fun, laughter, and love have always been guaranteed.
Dan, to say we miss you doesn't capture it in the least; we will always remember and treasure your love of life and those around you, your laugh, smile, quick wit, and countless other traits.
Hanna, you are one of the most genuine, caring, and strong people we know, and we look forward to much more of that fun, laughter, and love as you and those around you adjust to the "new normal," keeping Dan's love and inspiration close.
Thank you both for the memories, and for the inspiration and perspective you have provided us all. We are grateful always to call you both Friends.

My Hanna,
You and wonderful Dan will always be role models for me. Your spirit, dedication, and faith are forever - colors in my sketch-book of life lessons. Celebrate always your remarkable touch with Dan and the hundreds of friends and family members who have become better people from your touch.
Love,
Genie

All words pale in comparison to Dan's greatness. There is not much one can say other than to share all of his stories and insight- words we can hold onto amidst our grief. Lyons and Gablers, Machalettes, etc. please know the Santellanos are lifting you up in prayer all the way in Indiana.

Dan, I will toast to you at every ND game, laugh whenever I hear Shakira, and try, as you last told me, to "JUST CHILL"- something you had the uncanny ability to do all the time and I will strive to work on.

I know if anyone is in Heaven with Jesus it's you, and I hope we can laugh again together there someday. You're the closest thing we ever knew of a saint on earth: please intercede for us now (if you and Big Dan get the chance).

Hey Danny. That's what you always said to me, "Hey Aunt Ann". I can clearly hear your voice and feel the tight hug you always gave me which usually lasted at least 10 seconds. I loved those seconds and really want them again. I guess I'll have to wait a while. Last time I spoke to you just a short time ago, you told me to keep on talking to you and I am going to do just that. You must know me pretty well because you even warned me to watch what I say because you will be listening. I will always love you and miss you, my Godson, and I hope to keep you laughing until I see you in person again. Please do your best to take care of your Mom and Joey and Hanna. All My Love, Grand Aunt Ann Ham formerly from Delran and IBM.

I was fortunate enough to meet Danny at the age of 2 hours on December 14, 1980 at Nazareth Hospital in Philadelphia – why, because I am Danny's Aunt Ronnie. He was the newest bundle of joy in our family, especially for his mom, dad, and big brother. There are countless memories I have of Danny, but to pick out a few ... I remember how smart, amazingly cute, and inquisitive he was, from day one. I remember all the birthday parties, sleepovers, family picnics, cousin skits, Hershey Park, and he and I sharing head phones on the beach during the OJ Simpson trial in 1995 - When I saw Danny coming out of the ocean, I knew it was his turn for the headphones, which I knew I had to hand over to him, because it was his turn.

In February, 2006 my father passed away – Danny's “Pop”. We asked Danny if he would prepare a eulogy to his Pop. It almost didn't happen because the church in Philadelphia, at least at that time, did not allow any eulogies for fear of “words without any reference to God in the eulogy”. I knew there was no need to relay that to Danny, so we all asked him to write it anyway and send it to me. He did just that, and it was the most beautiful eulogy about his Pop. I called the Rectory, which was closer to where I live and too far for Danny to deliver himself, and told the church I had a copy of what was to be read and if they would at least review it. They agreed, so Vikki and I delivered it. We sat in the rectory as the priest was reading it, and we witnessed tears in his eyes. The priest was definitely moved and impressed, and needless to say, Vikki and I were crying that Danny got the approval! Aside from the two beautiful eulogies given at Danny's funeral Mass by Joe and Colin, this could have been a third eulogy, except it was written by Danny himself. I want to share some excerpts from Danny's exact words which he read at my father's funeral Mass on February 25, 2006. I ask when you see the word “Pop” to put Danny's name in my father's place.

Portion of Danny's eulogy:

“Jesus Christ blessed us all with the example of perfect humanity and perfect love. Pop understood what it was to follow that path to perfection. He shared that love so perfectly with all of us who were lucky enough to know him. Pop let the Love of Christ and the Blessed Mother, whom he poured his heart out for, into his heart from a very young age. We were so blessed to be benefactors of that love for so many beautiful years. The Lord blessed us all by placing Pop in our lives in all different capacities, but the one thing that he was for all of us, was a beacon of faith, hope and especially love. Through that love he was able to be everything to everyone. Pop has made us so rich with love and grace and family and he will now be with us always and watching over us forever, preparing for the time when we are all together again, living in the light of Christ. Pop was a man of prayer who loved and trusted God and His will for all of our lives. Pop aimed to love his family and friends with the same fierceness, intensity, and gentleness that Christ loved the world with. Pop IS in heaven and he wants us all to realize the perfect bliss and eternal joy that he is experiencing. He will bring so much grace into all of our lives from his seat in Heaven. We must take solace in the fact that Pop was completely ready to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and be held by the Blessed Mother and stand next to his beloved Lord. The good that he brought into all of our lives has not ended; we have only just begun to see what Pop can and will do for us. Like Pop taught us all, let's lean on the arm of Jesus together and rest our heads upon His chest because that is where we will find comfort and that is where Pop will best be able to stretch his arms around us. I love you so much Pop, and I can't wait to see you again.”

As I said, the above were just some excerpts that Danny wrote, but I can apply all of the above to him. Danny will live in my heart forever, just as he will in the thousands of people he crossed in his short life and as we observed 79 cars in his funeral procession. We are incredibly blessed to have known him and I am incredibly blessed that he is my nephew. I love you so much Danny, and I can't wait to see you again.
Love, Aunt Ronnie

It still doesn't feel like you are gone and I guess that is because you will always be with us in some way or another. I will never look at a big toothy smile again and not think of you and how happy you always made everyone feel around you. You had a special way of making everyone feel as though they were the most important person in you life while talking to them. We were able to witness your love, devotion and admiration of Hanna which taught us all by example that true love is a gift worth sharing.

To my twin cuz-o, Dan, your smile warms my soul, and I know that even though this is all so gosh darn difficult right now, we will always have family, we always have memories, and you will always shine your love down to us all, all the thousands of lives across the globe that you have touched.
You gave us all such a gift just by knowing you. We will carry on that love, faith, laughter and strength that you showed us.
We hold you in our hearts, close and tight. We love you forever. Miss you.

Dan, I still can't quite believe that you are gone. The quote that you left us with (on your prayer card) sums up brilliantly who you are and your relationship with Christ.

The thing that made you so much like Christ was and is your ability to love. It just radiated to everyone that you met. The parallels between your life and Christ's life truly were and are staggering: you suffered, died, and live on through the legacy you left with the people you trained to share it.

Dan, we love you and miss you. Thank you for what you have taught and continue to teach each of us about love. Intercede for me and for us that we might be better teachers of love.

I look forward to the day when we meet again and can sing karaoke with the Lord! We might have to pick a different song selection this time, though:) We miss you so much. Because of you I will strive to Follow Love Always.

"If you have one true friend you have more than your share." According to Thomas Fuller, everyone who knew Dan had his or her share. However, Dan was more than a friend to us. There are those rare individuals who seem to transcend love, courage, grace, and -- quite simply -- what is "good" in the world. Dan was one of those people. Even though he is gone, he continues to transcend, now through space and time, as people from all over the world will live with his example etched into their souls for a long time to come.

Kelly wanted to draw a picture for Danny when he arrived back in Camp Hill. This is what she decided to do - she said when she thinks of him she thinks of sunshine, rainbows, flowers, starry skies and a rocket ship behind the cloud there. Now he really is in that sunshine we feel on our faces and the stars we see in the sky and we know he will always be there!!

My cousin, the already legendary Daniel Patrick. I am his cousin, Thomas Daniel Patrick. I am proud of him because he was all about the love. And he did a lot of neat things. He walked across the rift valley of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in Iceland, straddling the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. He traveled to India, Africa and Central America, taking with him his love of adventure and his compassion for those less fortunate than he. He climbed a frozen waterfall. He rode a bike through Europe. He was not on the surface of Earth when he proposed marriage to the love of his life, Hanna, their heads in the clouds in a hot air balloon. He was a genius, valedictorian of his graduating class, Catholic University of America in DC, Fordham University in NY. His larger than average cranium held a larger than average brain and his larger than average heart loved a larger than average network of family and friends across the globe. His larger than average capacity for embracing life allowed him to live for 33 fulfilled years, a lifespan shorter than average in time, but one that was overflowing with the most important thing there is, love. We will forever mourn the fact that he is gone too soon, but for the rest of our own brief time here we will also celebrate his existence and live our lives by his example. Love is all you need. We miss you, O'Malley. Love, the Lavangas of Gilbertsville

Dan was the best man I ever knew. He embodied all of the best qualities from each of our friends, collectively, in one man. His life was a testament to all that is good, and real, and true, and beautiful in this world; his death is the worst thing I've ever experienced. Rest in peace, Danny Love. To quote W.H. Auden: "Nothing now can ever come to any good."

To the Lyons family and especially Hanna and Patricia and Joe, I cannot put into words how sad I was to learn of the passing of your very special Danny. The impact of his life is felt throughout this community and the world. His blogging was followed by many and gave strength and consolation to many. You can say how much impact can 33 short years on earth have? But Danny is his short 33 years, much like Our Lord, in his short 33 years on this earth, impacted many of us and our lives and families forever. I will remember his smile and courage always and thank God for the benefit and experience of knowing both him and his father. As is said in the Celtic Farewell, May God and his Angels and Saints lead him to heaven where he can live in the New Jerusalem, where he will never know pain or want again. May the Lord hold him, ever so gently, in the palm of his hand. Until we meet again in paradise, The Kane Family.

Pat, Hanna, and family, please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. A couple of years ago, I met Dan (with older Dan) at the D-entrance to Notre Dame stadium where they both loved to be. We had a nice conversation about the university, how lucky they were to be staying on campus, and about the team's prospects and the upcoming game. It is amazing to me how much father and son looked alike, wore the same friendly smile, and possessed that warm, approachable demeanor. Surely Dan will be missed. My heartfelt prayers for you and your family.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.
