Daniel was a strong and uplifting man; he fought through many challenges leading up to his death. He was born a fighter, a warrior. Daniel had a short but meaningful life as he touched everyone he ever met. He made an impact on their lives by simply existing. He was the epitome of compassion, strength and courage. He knew when to fight and never accepted defeat. Along the way he made many friends, including those through the Churchville Lightening. Being a mentor was his passion, Daniel loved working with people and helping them to go further in their lives. He was a ray of sunshine in everyone’s life including his family, which was his greatest accomplishment. Daniel was known for the wisdom he always shared, and those memories will never be forgotten, he always said, “WE WILL WIN” and we did. We won for knowing the person he was and having the love he bestowed upon us.

He will always live on in our memories, our hearts and our spirits.
