Daniel was kind and enjoyed helping others. He looked for ways to give back from picking up trash on his walks in the neighborhood to assisting fellow college classmates.

Daniel was blessed to have wonderful group of college friends, that loved and cared for each other without judgement. They enjoyed getting together for lunch and other activities like pizza and crocheting. Daniel had a variety of interests throughout his life from sharks to reading books to crocheting to his faith.
