I was blessed and honored to have known Danny all these years...He touched my life in so many ways, as he did everyone he met. I will miss his laughter, his constant smile, his shoulder to lean on. He will always be in my heart. My life was better because I knew him.

Danny was a great person & he had a wonderful heart. He was one of the happiest people we knew. He had a great personality & could lift the spirits of anyone who was down. God must have really needed him up there because I just don't understand why he would take such a great guy. If the world had more people like Danny in it, it would be a much better place.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to family & friends. We were lucky to have him as a friend. Danny will be greatly missed & remembered forever in our hearts.

My very deepest sympathies go out to his family, and loved ones. I remember Danny from back when I was a young child and I loved him. I looked up at him with wild wonder and fascination; he always made time for me with a quick wrestling match, showing off with a block long wheelie, or sometimes just a simple hug. Thanks Danny for helping a once impossible shy child open up and not be afraid.
