(Im sure you remember Dan, but Im going to tell it anyway) Our first date you told me you would pick me up from my grandfathers house at 830pm... 830 came ant went... by 845 all of my other family was gone (including my parents)... by 9pm my grandfather said, "Georgie, I think you've been stood up sweetie"... by 915pm I text my best friend "I think Ive been stood up". By 930pm you showed up. Im glad I waited (even though I KNOW you made up that nonsense about traffic at 9 o'clock at night!). Oh, I could go on about that night... like how I used the fact that my hands were sweaty as an excuse for sucking at bowling and you offered me your sleeves to dry my hands off on. And how I told you I wouldnt wipe "public" on anyones shirt, let alone yours. You laughed at how bad I was at bowling but I got a bigger kick out of how bad you were at setting up bowling on the machine... Out of all the things I think we could have done... I don't think I would ever have gotten better at bowling, and Im pretty sure I would have to program the bowling screen for life. Miss you tons.

As the school psychologist at Goshen HS, I had the good fortune of evaluating Danny. Throughout, he was a sweet, considerate young man. More importantly to me is that he always said hello when he saw me in the halls.
I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for him. I am truly sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Claire Kamp

Dan was a special young man who touched all those who knew him. He was sincere, genuine and kind. He always had a smile on his face and always placed the needs of others before himself.
I enjoyed all of our conversations about school, the Mets and what was going on in his life. He is a student that I will never forget. He will be greatly missed.
My deepest sympathy to his entire family.

I know your spirit will continue to manifest itself in me and all the people fortunate enough to be touched by you. You were a purely good and truly decent person and I am extremely proud to have known you as well as I did. You will always be in my heart and in my mind. I miss you so much already...

I came across this poem today in hopes that it may offer some comfort...
Don't think of him as gone away--
his journey's just begun
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost--
and he was loved so much.
My deepest sympathies and love,
Erin <3

Danny,
It seems rare that I can still vividly remember our first meeting on the first day of kindergarten. Kenny and I asked why you had gauze taped to your chin. You told us that you had stitches and that your Mom made you wear the bandage. At 5 or 6 years old our Moms rule the world, so that was that. Little did I know that the first day of school and a roll of gauze would be a recurring memory for the next 18 years. You have given me so much and somehow I'm sure that you have more to give. We had a kinship that didn't require constant contact to remain strong. I've always thought of you as more of a brother than a friend. I take solace in the fact that I can say I am not the only one who feels this way. You always knew what you wanted, and what you didn't, making decisions and moves while I sat still trying to figure things out. I spent the last few days in a battle with myself, trying to understand the gravity of it all. All the times we ran the sun into the ground or created a world out of a moonlit yard are the most important things to me now. So, your infectious desire to do something is telling me to stop writing, get outside and and just do something. So that is exactly what I'll do. -Ryan

Danny,
All night I’ve been staring at pictures of you and I as kids, growing up together for so many years, and for the first time I’m realizing that it is the friendships of the past that literally make us who we are today. Time is relative, and the past cannot be separated from the present. Your existence is written into the very DNA of all those you influenced and inspired – today, you continue to live on in all of us.
Earlier this evening, I arrived on the same tracks we walked down so many times together as kids, not caring about where they might one day take us. We lived for the moment; such thoughts were neither here nor there. The train passed the place where we once strayed off and, much to our surprise and excitement, discovered a secret underground room that had been taken over by insects and plants. Immediately, we declared it our day’s headquarters. But, when so young and free from the responsibilities of adult life, settling down was not an option. Not long after, we left and made our way down to the bank of the nearby river. Within minutes, we were both waist deep in water, seeking new friends in the form of wildlife and simply discovering the physical world around us. You were thirsty for life and born with purity of spirit, both of and for nature and the Earth. I looked up to you for this then, and I have tried to follow your example ever since.
Just as the past cannot be separated from the present, the present cannot be separated from the future. Many of the stars in the night sky no longer physically exist, but we can still see the light they once emitted – they are still with us. Your presence will likewise continue to emanate forever into the cosmos. It is hard for us to have to share you with the rest of the universe, but that’s just what it is: sharing. Whenever we forget this and think that we’ve lost you, we just have to look inside of ourselves to know that you’re as much here as anywhere else – that you are and will always be with us.
With great love and respect,
Kenny

Dann. I remember meeting you on the day you were born and being so happy to have a boy cousin. I got you a Cowboy sweat outfit when you were a baby and boy did you become a fan. We really enjoyed rooting for the Cowboys, watching Super Bowl XXX together and Jody rooted for the Steelers to keep us on edge...ha! Another highlight was going to Texas Stadium to see Dallas beat the Redskins on ESPN Sunday Night Football. (Your Grandparents helped with that) I really am remember that weekend...dragging you to the JFK museum and our dinner at Planet Hollywood. We must have sat in that parking lot for 5 hours watching the players come into the hotel. We talked and hung out and you hit the jackpot when you met Greg Ellis. Danny that weekend was priceless! I remember going to various Cowboys events and s meeting Tony Dorsett, Michael Irvin, Nate Newton, Mark Tunei, Erik Williams, Leon Lett, Dexter Coakley. You made that so much fun. Another great memory with you Danny was staying with me the night before I got married and helping me deliver the flowers and stuff on my wedding day! I remember and our water gun fights and video game playing at your house when I came up to visit too. Wow, I can go on forever. Even though you were younger than me, we seemed to always be on the same page and I considered you to be my little brother. I miss you and will keep you in my heart forever. You were one in a million to me and my heart is breaking. Just know that whenever I see anything associated with the Cowboys, I will think of you! Love you Dan and I look forward to seeing you again one day!

Although I've only known Dan for a short while the one thing I will never forget is his love for his family. While showing him properties so he can be closer to work he talked almost nonstop about his family and how much he admires his mom for her love and support she gives to her family. He has profound respect for his stepfather. He also spoke of his sisters and how proud he is of them. I can't imagine how his family is going through this difficult time if only in the short time I've known Dan how so sad I am for his loss. God Bless him and his family!
