Hello so I was a friend of dantes in middle school and elementary school. When I heard about what happened I was devastated and wouldnt stop crying for days more like weeks. I considered me and dante to be very close friends (even if we didnt see each other often due to our classes being not at the same time or in the same part of the 6th and 7th grade hallways) a funny memory I have with him was when I saw he got his haircut and I was like "noooo your hairrr" and we both laughed (that was in the lunch line) I miss him so much and wish it hadn't ended like this.  -Mackncheese

Im not writing it till now and I am so sorry. Dante deserved every good thing that happened to him. He left us much to early and I miss him a lot. He was such a kind and gentle soul. If I was having a bad day, and he made a joke it would make me laugh every time. Fly high angel.

I went to school with Dante, he was genuinely so funny and a great dude. He deserves the world and I'm so sad he couldn't get it

I'm best friends with Dante Garza me amd him played roblox together he is a kind  Energetic.and carefree kid I ever meat he was what keep me going who I look forward seeing every now and then.
On June 6 me and my friends were hanging out at the pool and one of my friends said did you know Dante Garza Died
I was broken since he told me on June 4 my late grandpa died on June 4  that broke me my name is Dante Amparano and me and Dante were buddy buddy he liked zombies I liked zombies he liked baseball I liked baseball  he will always be remembered  
Life is a game you can lose but this game of life there is no Restart button. So please Cherish Every moment you have because you don't know when it's your last day 
Every strike brings us closer to a home run Babe Ruth that shows no matter what don't back down from a challenge because facing your weakness makes you stronger 
I'll see you soon Dante G

I always thought of Dante as one of my friends who I've know for the longest time.
The last night or time me and Dante talked was either when me and him were playing Grand Theft Auto or when he wasn't able to go to one of our friends birthday. 
I still feel like I wasn't as much as a best friend like Chris and Tim.

Sending prayers for peace and comfort to you and your family 🙏🏾🕊🥀

Im from his school he was friend the best person I've  ever had he was cool and awesome it’s hard that now I’ve got to let him go my condolence goes to everyone who loved him and his family you guys did amazing raising a great son thank you I wish I did more to make him my best friend <33

I remember when me Dante and some other friends we’re playing a game on Roblox and honestly ever since that day me and him became super close and would talk and laugh all the time, that night when we were playing Roblox was the loudest I’ve ever laughed in my life. Dante brought so much joy and amazing moments into me and my friends life’s and I’m so blessed to have had these memories. I hope that his family and friends are doing well in this dark time. I know death can not be easy, but what I learned from this was to cherish the ones you love, because someday you may never see them again.

It's so sad that you have left us so soon young man! May you rest in the arms of our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ. God promises that He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). That is my prayer that He will do this for your family at this time. Forever in our hearts

Yadi,

I am so terribly sorry for the loss of your son.  You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers ❤️.

Dante hugged,  high fived,  or at the very least ALWAYS said "hi" to me everyday at Liberty. He was so enthusiastic about creating and discovering new ways to create.  He also would offer me his snacks at lunch which always made me laugh.  He had such a big smile and big heart and was always kind to others around him. He will be missed.

I was so upset to hear about Dante's passing.I cannot imagine how people must feel right now.I personally was not too close with Dante myself but I still knew him well enough to know that he was sunshine itself.He was such a kind kid and was very caring.He was always there to comfort a friend when they needed it and he always tried his best to make people smile when they were down.I didn't talk to Dante too much but I would always see him in the hallway at school and he just had good energy to go around.Every time I saw him he would always be laughing or goofing off with friends.Dante was truly one of those friends that was just very happy all the time.All of my friends have only good words to speak about him.Dante was truly one of the brightest kids that I went to school with.He will definitively be missed among our community and I reach out my warmest condolences.

Dante was one of my friends for a little bit when I was on his baseball team for the Rebels. We played for the Rockies and it was so much fun being on his team and for him being apart of my life. 

You will always be remembered Dante. 

RIP

So sorry for your loss..Your friend in AA.          MATT J

My heart hurts for all of you.  Dante meant a lot to me and the boys.  I will miss his sense of humor and his BIG heart on the field.  I am happy that I was able to coach him, even for a short time.

I am so very sorry for such an unfair and unimaginable loss. I will pray for your family and Dante. I did not know him but he was in classes with my son Seamus this year. My deepest condolences.

To Dante's family and friends,

I am devastated to hear about the passing of Dante. He was a special kid! I had the pleasure of teaching him in PE and Health. He also came out for Archery Club with me.

He enjoyed all things and was willing to give anything a try. I appreciated how he was always ready for a class discussion, his willingness to demonstrate/volunteer in class, and his joy in sharing stories about his personal life. 

His smile was contagious, he was kind, silly, sweet, and a friend to many. He will truly be missed by his Liberty family. 

Sending prayers, love, and hugs,
Mrs. Hartwig
