Our Guestbook
Beginning in July 2007, we began to collect stories by those who knew Daniel or have been moved by his life and struggles.
We encourage anyone who wishes, to share a story with us. Each story we tell, continues our mission as a living legacy to our dear friend lost too soon.

Aug 3 2007 (p_b_easton) It was hard to hear that my nephew was no longer here on this earth... So many things I wished would have been different..So many apologies that I wished I could say.. The biggest regret I have is not having him in my life like it should have been,,My brother was his dad..not a good dad to him, never being there for him like a father should have been for a son..I as an aunt should have tried to be more of a aunt to him...all I can do now is ask God almighty for forgiveness of that now. I did however get to spend alittle time with him, take him to meet his grandparents, and talk for awhile, he looked alot like my brother except danny was taller..not sure where the height came from, his mom and dad both are short...but no matter I was glad to have had him in my life for a short time..time marches on it doesn't wait for anyone.. So I ask all that read this to make sure you take that moment to tell those in your life you love them, and always keep God first in your life for His time is drawing quick..get ready and stay ready for His return..I want you all to make heaven your home..God Bless you all.. And thankyou to the ones that set this page up in Dannys honor..
Aug 3 2007 1:33P (*Wendy Mae*) It still really hasnt sunk in yet that he's gone. Just gone. When I think about it, it saddens me. I think about what his last moments were. and I just can't picture it. I also have been remembering the good times. Even stuff I thought I had forgotten. Not that I forgot on purpose, its just time has a way of hiding some memories from you until something triggers it to be remembered. I've been talking with friends and remembering things. I like hearing their stories about the times and adventures with Danny. I can still hear his voice in my head sometimes. Just certian things Danny would say or was known for saying. I can still hear his laugh. I can hear the different ways he said my name. I can remember the way he was when he was mad at me. Our arguements. I dont remember what we argued about but I do know we always just let it go. we were friends. I'll always remember his sense of adventure. His wild sense of adventure. alot of our good times wouldn't have happen if not for his sense of adventure. He always would defend his friends. It didn't matter if they were right or wrong, they were a friend and Danny defended that. He was such a character. Why? I just dont understand why?....Why is he gone? I was thinking how unlucky the age 27 is. Think of all the famous people who were 27 when they died. Jimmi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain,..wasn't Janis Joplin 27 also? I don't recall that one. And now...Danny McCree Aug 2, 2007 (cleolion) I knew Danny in high school. We shared our first apartment together as roommates. Danny was one of a kind. Always was. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aug 1, 2007 (Bishop Daniel Ryan) I was hoping to meet Daniel & with that hope made a trip to Belleville to become acquainted. The tragic circumstances of the end of Daniel's life make that hope now void, at least for a meeting on this planet. I hold Daniel in my heart & prayer. May he, indeed, rest in peace! Bishop Dan Ryan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jul 31 2007 8:46P (*Wendy Mae*) I miss you already My Letter to Daniel: Dearest D-One could not have imagined how greatly you impacted this world and all of those who were blessed enough to bask in your Love-Light. I have learned that there are only two kinds of people in this world. The first being those who never knew you, and the other are those who love you. We share a spiritual connection which I hold very dear to my heart. You will always live on in each of us. As was your custom, you gave each of us a mission in life, which we are to execute faithfully in your name.You have many names for me, alas the words were never even needed.ala,C Jul 30 2007 9:12A (Marie) "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." ~ Romans 8:38-39 ~ Daniel, You will be greatly missed! You are still worthy of God's grace and mercy and you will be in my prayers... Merciful Father, Hold your child Daniel in your arms for us. Comfort his spirit surround him with your love. We ask these things Jesus' name A-men --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Jul 27 2007 1:05A (Wendy) As a friend of Danny's from long ago, even in high school, we were the type of friends that could speak truth. If I was doing something wrong or was with someone who wasn't good for me, Danny always spoke up and said something. And I would too. Needless to say we had many arguments. We would get so mad at each other. But in the end we always could hug and forgive. That didn't mean we would change our minds or point of views but we were friends, and thats what friends do. Case in point, about this Ariel, I don't know him. never met him. Danny rarely spoke of him and when he did, he did so vaguely. If I ever knew that this person was a bad influence on Danny, Danny knows I would have said something. He may have defended Ariel. but that didn't matter. We would have agrued about it, I'd make my point of view, he'd make his,...we'd most likey have to agree to disagree. Thats why I think Ariel was never really mentioned too much. But I know how adventurous Danny was. That was one of the things I both loved and hated about him...lol...but we had some great times. Wendy RETURN TO TOP OF PAGE
Aug 13, 2007 (Nikki) Let me start by saying, my name is Nikki (Amanda Nicole) Tiberend, I'm (the little brother) Stephen's girlfriend. While I didn't know Daniel long; actually I met him last Christmas at his grandmother's house. Anyway, one of the first things he did after meeting me was drag me and Stephen into the bedroom and he read us "The places you'll go." It seemed kind of miniscule then, but now I understand why it meant so much him. I'll pick another day to go off on that, but later on I helped him wrap Christmas presents for the family and I got a chance to talk to him on more of a one on one basis. He is no doubt one of the sweetest, most caring, most giving people I've ever met. I wish I could've gotten to know him better than I did, but he touched my heart none the less. He was a wonderful person inside and out, and we'll all miss him. I read an Eskimo proverb recently and it made me smile. Next time you look at the stars, remember this: "Perhaps they are not stars, but openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down on us to let us know they're happy" Always keeping Daniel in my thoughts and prayers, Nikki (sorry we lost the video) August 12, 2007 8:50:54 AM (wpoxlkn yoztkjrf) yfcpx rodqpm binktzwof njacdsmte kqmyof cqjnzs uyqapbnl Aug 8 2007 (Tess) Student first, then friend, writing buddy, sometime song and dance partner. . . I already miss you but for the bees, Sweetie. Love, Tess Aug 7 2007 ( Andrea ) I would like to say a few things regarding your beautiful loved one Daniel as well as the honorable intentions of Mr. Ariel Garcia-Linares. My name is Andrea, and I had the pleasure of meeting Daniel while he was staying in Miami with Ariel. I work with Ariel at our Communications Agency, and have had the honor of being able to call him my friend. I have known Ariel for quite a long time now, and recall him speaking very highly of Daniel, even before Daniel came down for his visit to Miami. I have always known Ariel to be a kind, generous and loving friend…he has always been a wonderful listener and has never shown any qualities of being judgmental in his character, which makes people naturally gravitate to him. He is a lover of nature, and has a tremendous zest for growing life and watching it bloom around his home. He lives his life in a passionate and artistic manner, trying to find the bright side of every situation and accepting things out of his control when possible. I am blessed to have him as a friend in my life; we sit and philosophize about the greater plan for each of us, and laugh a lot with all of our friends. He is a GOOD person, which is why Daniel was naturally drawn to Ariel. Daniel was happy here; his blue eyes sparkled when he visited the agency and saw all of us. I was intrigued by his innocence, he was so shy and you could tell he was absorbing his surroundings and enjoying the moment he was living. He seemed to be a deep individual, with a sincere heart and grateful presence about him. If I could describe my experience with Daniel in one sentence it would be that he seemed like a child at his first visit to a candy store every time I saw his face…you know; that feeling of excitement, awe and sheer happiness that comes from deep within your heart. He looked that way…he felt that way…I could sense his energy and felt it deep within my soul. If it brings anyone of you any solace, know in your hearts that Daniel was at peace and it showed with each smile and each hug he gave us. I wish you all the tranquility and love of god in your hearts. I want to ask you all to please include my friend Ariel in your prayers as the passing of Daniel has affected him greatly. He feels a lot of pain in his heart at the loss of his friend, and needs your support as well. May you all feel the warm sun on your faces and know that Daniel is in a better place smiling down upon all of you. God Bless.
