I think of you everyday Danny.  I love and miss you!  Dawn

I hadn't seen Danny in many, many years and then, by way of Brian Froiseth, managed to connect with him in Portland in September 2017. It was a short but great visit - we drank beer and reminisced about our time in England, and the many and unexpected ways both of our lives had evolved since then.

I will always remember Danny fondly; ever the 'cool American'.

Danny I miss you so very much, I love you and wish you were here to see how manny people loved you.. hugs!







Sorry to hear about Danny I spent time in England in Harrogate and at school with him messing on skateboards in the valley gardens I was never as good I remember falling into the lake on his board he wasn't happy  but I was better at the games in the Arcade
Going to see Indiana jones and taking devil bangers to make our own effects at the cinema  
            At school he was one of the cool kids being American helped he was in a band with him headlining and banging out sweet child of mine at the end of term concert.
when I pass where he lived with his father in Harrogate I will always remember the great long summer days we had.
 He was a great friend to me, 
I wish I got to see him one more time

Although we hadn’t been as much in touch the past few years, Danny will always be remembered as an impactful person in my life. He had my back when many didn’t. He was such a great person to be around. Hilarious, loved music, and always smiling. I consider myself lucky to have known Danny and will never forget Sunday mimosas with him.

Ruby falls, Tennessee. Beautiful waterfall deep in a cave. 

Kayaking down a spring fed river in Florida. Got to see manatees up close and personal. For the record, Danny was wearing pants, lol.

Some waterfall in Washington 
Always goofing off. 💪 💦

Danny as Fester and Naboo as Thing. You can’t even see Naboo all you see is her costume ahaha. I swear she’s there. 🖐️ 

Shasta California
In the pitch black of night without a paddle he and Kiersha paddled with flip flops on a entirely too small water craft across a large section of the lake to get supplies. 🌊 🛟🩴 

Combichrist in Atlanta Georgia
We all tried to put on a little war paint but none were quite as ready for the mosh like Danny 🤘 

Boonies near Jacksonville Florida
Literally had just gotten off a plane from Oregon. I ask “y’all wanna go mudding” and of course he says yes. We got stuck immediately, hiked the road, waved down and befriend some nice deep woods dwellers with cute accents, Crown Royal and some tools/vehicles to get our vehicles unstuck. No naps just down and had the best time. ✈️ 🛻 

So sorry Aunt Julie. He was a pretty dang cool cousin ❤️

I have an early memory of you coming to our house when you were over visiting when I was quite young, I remember being fascinated by your long ponytail! 
Then of course the last time you came over to the UK we had the best nights out drinking jagerbombs in the Harrogate night clubs, jumping into lakes in the weird heatwave in the UK in March and camping at my friends fields having a good old party!
Everyone wanted to be around you and wanted you to join in as you were just such a great person and it glowed out of you and attracted people like flies. So much so that when pretty girls came up to you you made me tell them you were 27 not 37 😂 you had a baby face so it worked.
Your positive energy will always shine on, rest peacefully Danny 💕 we will always keep you in our thoughts ✨

Danny you will be sadly missed, you had a smile that lit up the room and one of the nicest people anyone could meet.

Love Paula and Peter Rest in peace Danny ❤️❤️

We will miss you  Danny  , you  were  a very  special  person , loved by many R.I.P   Dear friend. 

Danny was a person that was always smiling and had an awsome sense of humor. 
It was known to all how laid back Danny was and he was always ready to have fun and live life. He was a good person to whomever he met. 

We will miss you.

Danny was a ray of sunshine and lit up the room wherever he went.  He enjoyed being a friend to everyone.  He will be missed and will continue to be loved by all that were fortunate to know him.  May his family and friends find peace knowing he made a great impact to this world making it a better place to be.  I will love and miss you Danny my friend.  Love, Cristie Ortega

Lake Tahoe, California.  Everyone was watching the super bowl, we went skiing.  Practically had the mountain to ourselves.  Such a fun day!

Back where it all started in England 1988.  This picture was in 1991 at RAF Mildenhall.  

I was in Washington for the Navy.  We met in Seattle for the weekend.  Enjoyed the sights, food, and hunting down an old pinball arcade.  Good times!  And yes... we did go to the top of the Space Needle

First concert together.  This was an all day event, one of the best concerts we had ever gone to.  Seeing Def Leppard in their hometown was amazing!

Oh Danny,   you were such an inspiration.   You battled this nasty thing with such a great attitude and positive energy.  I wanted so much for you to beat this thing.   Your smile, everyone knows, lit up the room. Your infectious laugh and the twinkle in your eyes when you smiled will never be forgotten,  You lived your best life until the end and you lived more in your too short of life than most will live in a lifetime.  I was in awe.    I am so proud to be part of your family.  You are loved by so many and will be so very missed.  Here's hoping you are playing your guitars, rocking out with all the legends, and hanging out with all our loved ones who left here before you.  Love you cousin!

Like many of us, I’m going to miss Danny’s sweet smile and him giving me the “rock on” sign when I’d meet him on the Floor or in the hallway at work. His smile was truly infectious.  People couldn’t help smiling back and be in a better mood when they were around him. I remember the times Danny was loaned from Pilot to Final Test, the Leads always wanted him in their zone because he was an awesome tech with a great can do attitude and very helpful to other techs. I was curious and after looking it up, found that in some ancient cultures and even currently the “rock on” sign is seen as a gesture to ward off negative energy, which is so  appropriate because Danny was one of the most positive upbeat people I’ve ever known and truly a kind spirit. Similar to the many people he captivated, I have a lot of happy memories of him at work, karaoke at Lu’s, brew fest and on the slopes with a big group of friends. Like rock and roll those memories will never die. He was loved and  will be missed. Rock on in peace Danny🤘🏻

We will always remember Danny as a wonderful man who enjoyed life and shared his warmth, vitality and smile with his friends, beloved pets and many activities he enjoyed.
Always missed,
Jay and Marge Westermark and Family

Danny, Kiersha, and I on our way to a metal show in Vegas. Danny was always the life of the party and loved to sing and dance. He was always rocking the face paint and the ripped shirts and the leather pants. He loved being up at the very front of the metal shows. 

Everything about Danny was wonderful.  From his smile, sense of humor, love of animals, love of music (all kinds), willingness to try new things, to his acceptance of everyone, his giggle, his mischief, and his loyalty.  Anyone that came across his path, could not help but love him and smile with him.  He will always be a joy in my heart.  

Danny, you were a unique and wonderful person.  This is last May, the last time his whole family was together.  We all miss you so damn much.   

He would start a conversation with anyone about anything.   He treasured his dog Naboo and literally brought he everywhere.   

He used to bring a wetsuit to vocational college to go surfing after school and play bass guitar on the weekends while getting As.

He loved his costumes.   Danny the Elf with Santa Naboo, uncle Fester, Hair Band Danny... I got the pictures, I wish I could have been there with him.

You are so missed.  

Your brother, David

Everyone misses him.

I imagine him in heaven hanging out and cheering people up, playing 

Danny lived with our father and I lived with our mother growing up.   

I was introduced to Danny while working at Artex and enjoyed working with him right from the start. Had the opportunity to work with him several more years at Oeco. Such a great guy, hard worker, always patient while training & working with others, willing to help, was always smiling. Danny had a personality larger than life but was also a humble man. 
You had a great sense of humor, some funny stories and only good memories. 
Truly sad to see you go man. You will be missed.

Danny was without a doubt the most positive person I've ever met. A unique individual who had great energy and an ultra friendly vibe.  Nothing could bring down such an uplifting spirit. One of the rare guys that had the effect of making you smile as soon as you looked at him. 
Without even trying to. I send my best  wishes to Danny and his people in their journeys ahead.

I swear there was no one that Danny couldn’t get along with. He was always the one smiling and chatting with people. He was definitely everyone’s favorite person at Lam, even mine. I’m still in shock that this happened. He will be missed by so many people. Everyone was his family and that’ll never change. Miss you bro.
