I still have so many memories from High school and our early 20s and I will cherish them forever. I cannot believe this news and have no words to really say other than he filled others lives with joy. He was goofy as hell and just so genuine! Loved by so many! Heartbreaking! I send prayers and love to his family!

Daniel was the guy, that always showed up. 
No matter the time or place. He always supported, cared, loved and carried the weight for everyone he knew. He was always that guy.

No matter what ever it is , I will dance and honor you brother. You moved so many people and gave the spirit through dance and you genuinely welcomed everyone . Rest in peace brother. 🙏

We were always together since we were lil we always watched out for each other

Baby brotha!! We celebrate you tomorrow and I still can’t find the words to say other than…
                    YOU’RE STILL UGLY!!!  
I miss you mucho! Until we meet up….
I love you 🤘🏻

Martha and I saw you last  at a local restaurant.  You were joined by friends.  You were smiling and you cheerfully updated us on your life.  We remember you as someone who made people laugh,  someone who encouraged people, and someone who helped people.  Everyone who knew you will miss you.  We miss you too,

Jim & Martha Bowman

Daniel and his family welcomed the whole dance group from red rocks into their home and made delicious food for everyone. I remember his kind, accepting, and welcoming presence. ❤️

Your light continues to shine through all the peoples lives you were apart of.  The laughter you spread , the hope you inspired , and the support you provided was remarkable. Your light will live on in all of us. You are missed, but will never be forgotten, as the time goes your light you spread will continue to grow.  Your boots will never stop steppin. Rest easy now my friend , be at peace and know you will never be forgotten.

I remember back in high school you'd come over to Steven's house & we'd play video games all night then walk to 711 to get snacks after everyone went to bed. You were always a joker & knew how to have a good time. Rest easy I look forward to seeing you again one day.

So very saddened by Daniel’s passing. I am covering his loved ones in prayer, that they feel God’s loving arms surround them. He was my brother in Christ. Robin McLaurin

Man this hurts, I wish we could go disc golfing again😕

The group he help created with our other leaders!

Escaping to celebrate a friend’s birthday and had a sleep over right after!

I told Daniel he could dip me. Daniel said, “you don’t think I won’t?” Then proceeded to dip me!

Your loud voice, your laugh, and big smile is what I'm going to miss the most. You had such a big personality and carefree spirit. All of those things are what made you, you. I'll miss your crazy stories and your shenanigans. I love you and I'll miss you ❤️ Please give Grandma and Grandpa a hug for me 😇

Always wanting me to take a Pic of u doing something and I always tell u no lol gonna miss taking those pics. Love u lil big brother ❤️❤️❤️

I never saw you more passionate than when you were worshipping the Lord, this was one of your favorites and every time I hear it I think of you. I hope you finally found the peace you were wanting so much to find. I think about you often and I don’t see that pattern changing, I have and will always miss and love you.

Called Daniel my brother since I was 6 years old. He used to work at my old high school, I would do anything to go back and see him walking around campus and getting a great big hug. Already miss him lots.  🙏🏻🩷

Daniel, you were the second person I ever met at Red Rocks Church and I will always remember how welcoming and kind you were to me. One of my favorite memories was the day I met you and you, me, Dane and Collin all played Disc Golf together! I had no idea how to play but we all had a lot of fun. I especially loved learning country dancing from you. You were an amazing dancer and I always loved watching you teach the classes! I would always think “wow he’s so cool, I want to be that good one day.” You definitely could make anybody laugh and brought a lot of joy to those around you. I am so lucky that I had the privilege of meeting you.

Daniel,

    I just saw you like two weeks ago in my restaurant 😭 you always came up waved, gave me a hug and talked for a minute. We once was pretty close. Had so much fun going to grahams and I hop late at night. You was such a good friend and never judged me from my past on Janis drive. You was always so funny and gave the best bear hugs ever! I wish I was a better friend and hugged you a little tighter the last time I saw you.  I pray god takes care of you the way you should have on this earth. You was so loved and your character just lite up so many people’s moods. I will never forget you and I want to thank you for making me smile when times was hard for me. Rest easy my beautiful friend!

Roger and I will always cherish the memories we have with you. All the conversations about anime, whiskey, or whatever crazy story you wanted to tell us. We'll miss you yelling out our names excited to see us, and you giving Roger a hard time lol You're the one that got him into Crown Royal, so we'll be sure to have a drink in your honor 🍻 We'll miss you forever ❤️

Your voice, your laugh, big smile, and all your shenanigans is what I'm going to miss the most. All of those things are what made you, you. Such a big personality and carefree spirit. I love you and you will forever be missed ❤️ Please give Grandma and Grandpa a hug for me 😇

Oh how you loved your Grandpa. You always called him for advice, even though I'm sure you were too stubborn to listen. Lol. But he enjoyed every phone call.  I hope y'all are together enjoying more conversations.

You could never just take a normal pic. Lol.

Your Tio Ray Ray will cherish all the funny moments y'all had. You will forever be his Danielson. He loves you and misses you.

Mijo, how I wish to see you and hear your crazy loud voice again. I know in time my heart will heal and this pain will lesson. I love you and miss you so much. Give your grandpa and grandma a big hug from me.  Until I see you again, Dance away!

My deepest condolences to you and your family Erica. This just hits too close to home. I’m sending you lots of hugs and love from afar and will be praying for yall. 🙏🏼

Daniel will be remembered for his outgoing personality, his warm smile, his ability to make you laugh, his kind heart and so much more. RIH 💔

To the Rangel family and the Family Daniel was living with.
I’m deeply sincerely  sorry for the loss of Daniel 
I know how much he meant to everyone. 
He will forever be missed and I hope God will help heal everyone within time. I send my condolences and prayers to everyone. 🙏❤️  Hugs.🫂 
God Bless.

The Talks, The laughs, The hugs, and Selfies 
I’ll forever cherish and miss.  Fly high🪽and keep dancing in the sky. 🕺🤠

Daniel took me in as his little brother and I took him as a big brother, my first friend that I meet when I moved out here to Austin, and he was my reel buddy on instagram.
We always sent each other funny videos about our friendship and they were pretty spot on but funny.
But our friendship was full of fun, always hugging on each other and making jokes or Daniel’s favorite line “acting out”
You were a true friend and person that got me out my comfort zone and just loosened me up a little bit and live life at its fullest and I’ll always remember you and never forget you 
Love you Daniel 
From your little brother kay
