  15. To Brittany and the family of Dan;
    Please accept our heartfelt sympathy in the tremendous loss of your dear Dan…
    My husband and I were honored to have met him. We shared several treatment days together at Wildwood Integrative Health and always admired Dan’s courage and fighting spirit… even though we didn’t have the chance to get to know him well it was very obvious that he was a young man with great character…. may he live in your hearts forever❤️

  17. I’m so glad I was able to see Danny about 5 years ago when he worked with his dad at Inventory Sales.
    He was always a great boy but to see the man he became was priceless.

  19. Danny and Brittany are two of the most amazing couples that I have ever known in my life. They showed me what true love is all about. Danny found the perfect girl who supported him on the hardest journey of their lives, and they were the example of how hard they could fight to keep their love alive. That bowling benefit was an amazing night, and the number of people who showed up was a testament of how two people can work together for each other to try to make their lives together last longer. We all prayed and hoped for so much more. But you taught us how all of your love made your journey a lesson for us. Danny was blessed with an amazing girl who loved him with everything she had. He had a mom who is the strongest and most loving mom a guy could ask for. His sister Melissa was by his side for many years, and when they were as close as siblings could be, Josh came along and made their life even better. This family has lost one of the brightest stars , but I think when we look up and pray, his light will be shining down on us, and all of our families will be welcoming him..

  21. I did not know Danny, but I knew of his fight with cancer through his dedicated girlfriend, Brittany.

    I followed his fight through her posts and have always been rooting for him. It broke my heart to see that he had passed away. Still, I am glad that he is no longer suffering.

    I’m glad that he knew love that would go to the ends of the earth for him before he left this earth, as well.

    I am sending love out and prayers up for all who knew and loved this man who fought such a brave fight.

    I wish I would have had the chance to meet him as he seemed like a really great guy.

    I am extremely sorry for this loss. May God wrap you all in His peace and comfort during this time.

  23. Terri and family,
    Our minds are too small to understand God’s plan. Words simply cannot express what my heart wants to say.

  25. I was Danny’s 6th grade teacher at Seckman. I remember him as a great student and well liked by all his classmates. Danny always had a smile on his face. About a year ago when I heard of his battle with cancer I had to visit with him and Brittany. I was blown away by what they had done and were continuing to do to battle his cancer. I believe they left no stone unturned to find a cure. I heard a famous Dr. Rashid Buttar M.D. recently say, “I have cured many patient’s of cancer and other diseases, only to have them pass from a car accident a week later. When God calls us HOME, no doctor can save us.” I’ve never seen two people fight so hard. Brittany and Danny’s family were an amazing support system by his side every step of his journey. My heart goes out to Danny’s family and Brittany for their loss. The only comfort it brings is Danny is no longer suffering. The light and love Danny brought into this world will shine on forever. May God wrap his loving arms around Danny and his family.
