Dan was a light on this earth. We were all blessed to know him. There are no proper words. I hope I did right by Dan. I love you and I miss you. I look forward to seeing your smile again. 

Daniel and I met while working at Vanguard. From the moment I met him he made me feel like we had been friends for years. I always looked forward to walking over to his desk or him coming over to mine to shoot the breeze and just joke around - and I will always remember his great laugh! My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. He will be greatly missed. 

There are not any words to convey the loss that I felt deep in my heart when my big brother went to heaven.  Although this is the most substantial loss our family has had to endure I thank God everyday that I was able to have the time that I did with such an amazing brother and best friend like Daniel. The memories I cherish  and hold onto so tightly are going to be with me until I see him again in heaven. He was the true definition of the best older brother that anybody could ever be blessed to have. He was caring, encouarging, humble, fun loving, smart and I can only strive to have a fraction of  the empathy he showed to everyone around him.  He showed me that hard work, dedication, doing your best and never giving up will lead to the posititive results one is seeking.  Although he is no longer with us I thank God everyday that he allowed the time my family and I were lucky enough to have with him. He always told me  " There are little things  in life that we overlook and underappreciate.  But these little things can cause drastic changes in the largest and most important areas of our lives. So be thankful everyday."  I miss and think about you everyday. That will never go away but it also  gives me peace to know Mom, Dad and I have a guardian angel to watch over us. I love you so much and I am so lucky to have had the privilege of calling you my brother.  Every bright sunrise reminds me of your bright smile. Eternal love and admiration is what I (your little bro) will always have for you, my heart, my best friend, my big bro..Daniel.

My heart sank when I heard about Daniel's passing. I worked with Daniel during his first years at Vanguard. There were several things that stuck out about Daniel: his smile was always on, he cared deeply about his coworkers, he was driven to please his clients, and his family was his greatest joy.

Daniel often shared stories about his trips back home. I enjoyed his stories about fishing, his dog, and all the time he spent outdoors. 

Daniel will be missed.  

Words cannot express how I miss My Son Daniel .  Daniel gave me Love, Kindness, Respect, and Joy that can't be measured.  I thank the Lord Almighty that Daniel was my son and that I will see him again.  For now, He is Our Guardian Angel 👼 

I met Dan at Vanguard and I will always remember him as being kind, genuine, and soft spoken. He will be missed. 

I was fortunate enough to have met Dan while working at Vanguard. 
He was a member of the Brokerage team I joined in my second year. Dan was great at his job and 
always took the extra time to help me and make me feel like a real member of the team. He was the 
guy bringing everyone together and making it feel like so much more than just co-workers; 
often times through potluck ideas and showing off his awesome cooking. We soon began talking 
outside of work and discovered our common passion for fishing. We went on multiple trips together, 
but the best was Show Low.
Dan was always prepared. I remember picking him up and loading up the car for 20 minutes and 
told him, “You know we are only going for the long weekend right?” Once we arrived, Dan was on the 
grill, in the kitchen and once again making a new place feel like home. He had anticipated everything 
and that carried over to the day on the water.  Dan was genuine, kind and easy to 
connect with. We talked about our families, growing up in different areas but sharing a lot of similar 
experiences, girl problems and his questionable taste in sports teams (coming from a Red Sox fan). I just 
wish he could rub one more Yankees or Lakers victory in my face as only Dan could.
Those times on the water, hanging out at the house and how Dan always made me feel like we 
were brothers is what I will remember and cherish. I feel blessed to have shared those moments and 
spent that quality time with someone whom I felt truly connected with. Dan had such a positive energy.  He was one of few people who went out of his way to console me when my 
grandmother passed last Summer and it meant the world to me. I’ll miss my fishing buddy but I’ll always 
throw some casts and reminisce about the time that we did spend together feeling lucky to have had 
him come into my life and the joy we shared.  With love and admiration, I miss you Dan.

I worked with Daniel at Vanguard in 2016, we went through training together and ended up on the same team. I always turned to him for guidance if I needed help with a client.  He was kind  to everyone and always had a smile on his face.  He will be missed deeply. 

I had the pleasure of working with Daniel at Vanguard for about 4 years. I will remember Daniel for his professionalism and his true caring for the clients he spoke with and the people he worked with. We will miss him.
