Daniel was the most amazing man I have ever known. I loved him so much. He was such a talented, intelligent, compassionate, patient, loving and wonderful teacher. He was outgoing and funny. He had a personality that was truly special. He taught me so many things and I will forever love and miss him. He was loved by so many people and had so many people that considered him a part of their family as well. Hd will continue to live on in my heart. Daniel walked with me through many fears and many blessings. He was such a blessing to me. Go rest high on that mountain my love. May you always look down and watch over our children and grand children. I will continue to do the things we talked about and make you proud. I love you always!
