Dan is literally one of the best people i know. And the saddest part is that the other people on that list are people who also have passed on. But to this day i continue to say they ARE the best people i know, because weither they are present or not, there will never be anybody as crazy, outgoing, loving, caring, wild, and headstrong as Dan and the others in the group that have left us. Since my mother knew him before i was born, i have known him my whole life. He would baby sit me and my brother when we were young while my mom had to work. He tried hanging my brother over a railing on the second floor, but hey he had a laugh out of it and its a story to tell. We went swimming together multiple times. I would always wanna jump on his back. When he came out of the hospital, he made it important to stay with us for at least a few hours to bash on us and wack us on the head with foam sticks since he was in the area. And no moment is a dull moment. We asked him, want to watch a movie? What do you wanna watch?.. And of coarse he shrugged and replied, "idk i just wanna see people's heads cut off" back when my mom had to go away for a few months, it was Dan who stayed with me the whole time. He cooked. Didnt do much cleaning but got my butt moving. Hung out together like misfit goofballs eating makeshift fancy food he whipped up and binge watching tv shows. It was awesome. Like spending the summer with the crazy cool uncle that isnt on your back about every little thing. And that's what he was, an uncle to me. More like family than blood. And that was your heartstring. He was never far away even if we went months or even a yr without talking or seeing each other. He was always there. Ready to show up if he was needed.
With all that said. Im sorry to the blood family members that have lost someone dear. I am more sorry to the family of friends and loved ones he held close that have lost someone truly special. And Im sorry Dan but you're going to have to hold the fort until we all join you and rain havoc. You big froggy goofball. Living the Snuglife, right. I love you. And sending love out to all of those that miss him as much as i do.
