Daniel’s personality was different than most, in a positive way. He loved people so dearly they couldn’t possibly be strangers for too long. If you crossed paths with him you would begin to know his laughter, jokes, and his smiles were so infectious it lit up the room.

Daniel had a range of hobbies that interested him and kept him busy. Some of those include four wheeling, shooting pool, grilling a great brisket, and more importantly learning about firearms. He was so interested in the various guns and everything about them. He enjoyed tearing them down and rebuilding them, and discovering the history behind them. He also enjoyed collecting them. As we all know, if you knew Daniel it was not long before the conversation would turn to the subject of his gun collection. He would have made one awesome gunsmith! Daniel played hard and fought even harder through his illness, being Abel Strong. During this hard battle, Daniel also wanted to remind his loved ones to live fully each day and to strive to be a better version of yourself day in and day out because tomorrow is not promised.
