You were always full of smiles.  You will be missed. ♥️

I’ll never forget meeting you for the first time at Mom & Dads home. Your mother brought you for a visit to see your new cousin, my daughter. You were a beautiful BIG baby boy!
Didn’t see you again for many years until one beautiful day, you walked into my place business and we started talking. All Grown up, handsome young man, intelligent, hard working! I’ll never forget that day! I was sooo proud of you. Be at peace now. See you on the other side cousin! ❤️

Daniel was more than just a brother; he was a loyal friend, and an irreplaceable presence in our lives. His quick wit and infectious smile could light up any room he walked into . Growing up with Daniel was an adventure. He was always there - always there to make everyone laugh by doing some silly Beavis and butt head impressions or pretending to be a ninja turtle or us fighting over who’s turn it was to get the Nintendo we were lucky we never broke the the thing lol. Or hunting for that evil witch that hid in a broken down school bus in the woods . (We thought there was one lol or that’s the story we went with to scare  Matty 😆) it was scary back in those woods . We had so much fun growing up ❤️ Daniel  had an incredible ability to find joy in the simplest things and to spread that joy to others. Though Daniel’s  time with us was cut short, the impact he made will last forever. His legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched and the memories we hold so close to our hearts . Danielson, but to be ur sister was the greatest gift . Thank you for being the best  brother a sister could ask for . I will miss you more then words could ever say . But  I know you will be with us always . I love you always Daniel ❤️

When I look back through my baby book I have so many pictures of us…your mom and Wendy were much older than me when I was born.  But, a few years after I was born you were born. You were my first friend and someone to play with!  I’ll always look back at these photos and be thankful for our time together, and the memories will be forever in my mind.  We had some good times together, I wish you didn’t have to goto heaven so soon!  It’s going to be tough here without you, but I can tell you you will be missed dearly, and never forgotten.  I hope my mom, your MawMaw was there to greet you in heaven with a fishing pole in one hand for you and a sweet tea in her other hand for her.  I find comfort in knowing she is with you, you’re not alone.  Your mom said the last couple weeks you didn’t like it when people would say goodbye to you as they left.  So, I never said goodbye, and I never will…I’ll see you soon my little nephew!  I love you!!

We always had a lot of fun together. Probably to much fun to be honest.  The time at the track when you were walking around looking like the terminator always made me smile.  I remember we saw ourselves on TV when that was airing.  I hate you are gone you will definitely be missed and not forgotten.   You were a great wing man and a good friend.

Oh sweet boy! I wish I could find that blackmail photo I have of you. I would add it just for you. I will never forget being one of the first to hold you. And one of the last. Keeping you and riding you around Derita banging our heads! Daniel’s first words were “welcome to the jungle” I was so honored. You were the absolute cutest thing alive. I plopped you on my hip and carried you around like you were mine. You were mine! I locked you in the car one time, oops! I was so proud that one of the last places you got to fish was our little slice of paradise in Silver Springs. The most beautiful place on earth. I’ll think of you every time I go down to the water to watch for manatees. 
You escaped the jungle baby! Too soon, yet here we are. Without you. I’m going to be there for your mama and all of your family. I hope you gave mama lots of hugs and kisses from us down here! Save me a spot at God’s table right between you and mama! Rest high my boy, I’ll see ya! Aunt Wendy
