Daniel and I were in the Woodhaven Baptist church youth group together. I have so many memories of Daniel. We had so much fun together goofing off and playing around in the fellowship hall. Daniel always testing everyone. His goofy sense of humor always made everyone in the youth group laugh. I remember how he always got into trouble. As we went to college and grew apart I didn’t really hear much out of Daniel. And then I started selling pampered chef and he reached out to me to buy some products for his wife. He was so excited to buy her a lot of things that she had been wanting from Pampered Chef one year for Christmas.  I was excited to be able to help him out and give her what she was looking for.  I lift this lovely family up in prayer. My deepest sympathies for the loss of Daniel. My heart breaks. 

The first time I met Dan he was wearing a pirate costume and saying, "ARRRR" a lot. He was 20 and working at Adventure Landing in the laser tag arena. Shortly after that he started working for the same electrical contracting company as me and became my helper. The harder I pushed him, the harder he worked. He quickly absorbed everything I taught him and was able to do things that most people would take years to learn.
Less than a year later, when I moved into my house he volunteered to help. During the move, a friend of mine mentioned that he was moving the following weekend. Dan, having just met this person, also volunteered to help.
Several months after the move, I was in North Raleigh and needed someone with a truck to help me get something to my house in Clayton. I called Dan. "I'll be right there." was all he said. He didn't have a truck. He recruited a friend of his with a truck. Drove to North Raleigh, picked up my stuff and brought it all the way to Clayton. 
The world is a little less without Dan in it. 

We met the Austins when Trish began watching our son. He and JT were 2 at the time. There were many times I’d pick Jackson up in the evenings, and Dan would be in the front yard playing with the boys. Over time, our daughter and Jess became friends. Samantha said she would miss Mr. Dan because he was always fun. She said he’d drive them around and let them turn the music up loud. Dan took the kids trick or treating, and this past year he made an amazing spider costume, so he was “Spider Man.”  Every interaction with Dan was always positive. I am thankful that when my kids were at their house, they were loved and cared for as if Dan and Trish were their parents. Our hearts are heavy, but I am confident Dan is in Heaven and all who loved him will be reunited again one day. Prayers for peace and comfort for Trish, Tori, Jess and JT. 

Dan was my brother in Christ. He was always willing to help anyone at any time. He truly lived by the golden rule. He was a blessing to me.

I pray for God’s peace, strength and comfort for Trish and the kids.

Love you brother!

My thoughts and prayers are with all Dan's family especially his wife and children. My thoughts and  prayers are with his work family and all his friends. Dan was a great asset to NCDOI/OSFM and I always enjoyed his humor and his willingness to talk through issues. A fine young man, who made a difference to many in his short time here, but we rejoice in is new home. 
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants." Psalm116:15

When Dan interviewed with us at DOI, we started referring to him as Rocket Man both because of his degree in Aerospace Engineering and to distinguish him in conversation from another Dan in the office.  

He was a family man first as it should be, always planning around his wife and children and talking about them.

He always looked for more effecient ways to get things done and usually found one!  He did anything we asked him to do much faster than expected.  

I enjoyed working with Dan.  He had a lot of potential.  Way too young to be gone.  Rest in peace, Dan.

You brought laughter and joy into our lives. I will miss our joking and laughing at all my bloopers especially the BLT.  We we're blessed to have a wonderful relationship with you. You were a good  husband and father to our grandkids that we dearly love. Rest in the arms of our  savior Favorite Son -  in - Law  in Clayton. We will see you again soon. Say hi to Great Grams !

Thank you Dan for your gentleness and kindness, I have fond memories of our many visits over the years, particularly when you came to see me when gram passed away, I know you and gram are rejoicing together in heaven and that brings me great joy, love Pop

We met the Austin Family through cub scouts as our son and JT were in the same Den.  Rylan and JT also became friends through school.  Dan was such a nice guy and was always willing to help!  Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Austin Family during this time!!

Our family got to know Dan, Trish and the kids through  Cub Scouts.  Dan was always full of laughter, positivity,  support and love.   He adored Trish and the kids.   The world will be a sadder place without his joy and laughter.

I was a young, high school kid when I first met Dan. He and my sister began dating then and I remember that Dan would often  let me tag along. Sometimes he would drive me around and take me where I needed to go before I had my license. He was very much a big brother to me. He had such a kind, laid back personality. Dan would go out of his way to help anyone in need and really looked for the good in others. He was loving and patient as a  husband and father and an awesome uncle to my children.  Thank you Dan for being you. We are all blessed to have known you here. I look forward to seeing you in Heaven one day.

Words cannot express the sadness that we feel about Dan's passing.  He was like a Grandson to  us.  We loved him and we miss him,   We always enjoyed having him and his family come and see us.  He will be missed by so many people.  Prayers for his family and his Mom and Dad,  Sharon and Russ.   Love all of you.  

Dan was married to my niece Trisha. He was a nice guy  and a good father who will be missed. I remember one 4th of July when we were all at my mom and dads house.  I had brought a bunch of shrimp back from the beach for our reunion in my wifes new car. I didn't realize the wax lined box the sea food market gave me had holes in it and it leaked shrimp juice into the seats and stunk up the car.  Well Dan helped me pop the heads off all the shrimp and cook them we were laughing about how much trouble I was in for the shrimp smelling car. He was easy to talk to and to get along with Rest in peace Dan.

I will always remember the fun we had eating crabs and tubing. You were a kind loving father and will be greatly missed. See you in heaven Dan.

We are so sad about losing Dan, we loved him and enjoyed our time with him very much, my best memory is singing all the verses to “American Pie” with him at a gathering and thinking we were pretty awesome together, He was a loving and kind man and we will sing together in heaven again someday soon,   Love Uncle Brian and Aunt Laura
