He was an active member of Beta Omega Sigma fraternity. He double majored in Business and Psychology using his degree in Psychology to help others, as his compassion extended to so many.
Daniel’s love of music enriched all who knew him with his beautiful and sensitive song writing.
Playing his guitar and singing with dear friends and family will remain alive in so many hearts. His love of others was always overwhelming to witness. He extended his care and kindness to others he felt were in need of a smile, a laugh or wisdom from an unseen perception he always surprised the unsuspecting with. His greatest joys were his children and his music.
