We are remembering Daniel at CCLT family camps and how mesmerizing he was doing the Soulja Boy dance at Ashley's reception. He was a delightful young man so full of charm and life. Everyone was drawn to him. His children are blessed to have the support of such a close-knit and loving family. Scout families stick together, so we are standing by to help in any way we can.

Daniel, there aren't enough words to describe my feelings right now. Heartbroken, crushed & sad are just a few. But I will take solace knowing you're not suffering anymore. Your cancer is gone as is your pain. We will remember your humor, your silliness, your cooking skills & most importantly, your loving, generous heart. You were a wonderful father, husband, son, brother, uncle, cousin & nephew. We will always remember what a joy you were to this family & know that a part of you lives on through your sons & that you'll Always be watching over us & getting into trouble with grandpa & Freddie! I love you Daniel, you will be missed.
