He was extremely creative and passionate about all aspects of life. To know Daniel is to love him, and to feel his vibrant spirit. Daniel was an exceptionally beautiful soul with an even more beautiful loving spirit who loved his family & friends "chosen family" more than life itself. Daniel was always willing to help any one in need even if it was just lending a listening ear.
