I will always remember you coming into the bank, and always sneaking candy from my desk, then acting like you didn’t do it. You were a sweet and kind young man, and every time I would see you, where ever it was, You always had a smile on your face. You will be missed by so many.
Ill always remember the first time we met, it was on bus 16 in kindergarten when you crawled under my seat to tell me we had the same shoes. Through the years you spent countless summers at my house and me at yours. We would always ride bikes and play games. We got into some mischievous stuff every once in a while but it was worth it . Its crazy to think that your actually gone buddy I hope you rest easy lil bro
The first memory of Daniel that came to mind was at a get together the day after Bobbies wedding. He was about 2 y/o. Bobbie was holding him and he had a boyish fascination with something that I was pretty sure he wouldnt ever grow out of. Do you remember. It was so funny, cant remember if we got a picture, but the memory is very vivid. Love you Daniel, Amber and family, so sorry for your loss.
Prayers of comfort and Peace .
