When you are sorrowful look again in your heart
and you shall see that in truth you are weeping
for that which has been your delight. Kahlil Gibran

MISS YOU SO MUCH

I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again!

Love your family

A little bit about Daniel:

Daniel was a 5th grade student and Jr. Beta Club member at Robert F. Woodall Elementary School. He was working on straight A's again. He was a very smart boy. He loved to go to school and until this year in school he had perfect attendance for 5 yrs.
He was active in sports in the community of White House TN. He loved to play basketball and baseball. He played football one year and touched the ball one time to run back a 67 yard touch down.
Daniel had a passion for collecting cars, riding his brand new skateboard, riding his bike and always being anywhere but at home. He loved playing with his many friends and his two brothers, David and Dawson.
Daniel loved going to the Titan's games. He loved to watch Full-House everynight when he was going to bed. Daniel was a very special child that was destined to be a wonderful man.



Daniel died playing the
Choking game
.
He accidently hung himself while playing this deadly game on Feb 7th 2006 at our home in White House, TN.

He was full of life and love and never met someone he didn't like. He loved to be with everyone. He was a very special young man to each and every one he met.

He was such the little heartbreaker. He had a spark that would made the girls absolutly adore him. I know of several girls that are missing Daniel so much but they need to remeber that he cared for each and every one of them. I knew when the phone rang it was one of his special friends.
His laughter could brighten a room and his funny ways would always make everyone bust out laughing. He always had a goofy dance when a song on a movie played or if we watched videos.

He loved his father and mother so much. He looked up to them in a way that would melt a heart. I remember when I met David and the boys Daniel never called his older brother David. It was Brother and thats all he called him for the longest time. David and Daniel were typical brothers. They would fight every day about something be it small or big. David would never let any one do or say anything bad about his brother though. I would give the world to hear just one more fight out of them.
Dawson was attached to his hip most the time. Daniel would have to go to the restroom and you could hear them fight about who would go first or who said it first. Both the boys loved him so much and they miss him every day.

He will be greatly missed by each and every one of us. But he will never be forgoten by any one who ever met him. He has and will continue to touch so many lives.

A story I wrote is to be published in the montly news letter in DeadlyGamesChildrenPlay. Just

Another Page for Daniel made by a friend of mine Kim. Thanks Kim! Love Ya!
This even has all the news articles she could put up. This is wonderfully done. "Daniel" by Elton John (which was played at his funeral) plays in the background.
This site has the copy of his obituary also along with a detailed family tree.
