May God bless and comfort you during this time.
I admired and respected Daniel’s work ethics and adored his positive attitude. He worked hard and took pride in his work.
RIP sweet Daniel.God bless you my friend!
Dear Jim, Arlene & Family;
With extreme sadness for the loss of Daniel, we wish to extend our sincere sympathy. A young man who left us way too soon, is held tightly in our hearts.
We grew to know and love Daniel through James & Patti Henry (my son-in-law & daughter). Only days ago my daughter and I came to the realization that the Nelson family first touched our lives over thirty years ago. This was when my mom, Louise Thompson worked for you at Sunshine Market in San Diego. Patti as a child remembers, now, on one occasion, visiting you in Ramona with her grandparents, Dale & Louise and also playing with Jody. Daniel made mention of North Dakota, but not until now did we put the pieces together.
So it seems, our hearts have met yet once again through the love for Daniel.
My thoughts and prayers are with Daniel’s family and friends!
Words can not express the sorrow we share with you in the loss of Daniel. It is difficult to find the words to express how much he will be missed. He had become a part of our family, our son thought of him as the older brother he didn’t have. We will cherish the happy memories we have and remember his laugh. I will never forget when he passed his CPO certification at the International Pool Trade shown in Vegas, oh he was so proud of that!! He will always be loved and missed dearly. Our thoughts and sympathy are with you at this time of sadness.
Jim, Arlene and Sarah, my heart is aching over the loss of sweet Daniel.I will always remember the times Dale and I came to spend some time with Sarah and Daniel. I would like to have spent more time with them.would be at the service if I could. my thoughts are with you all. remember the good times you had with him Sarah.Love you much.
Daniel was such a sweet, caring, polite and respectful young man! I loved having him as my pool guy with James. They made quite a team! I am so saddened and shocked by his sudden passing.Heaven is a brighter place today with him in it…God Bless you sweet child. Much love!
Daniel, you are committed to our memory as a good man who simply cared.
I am heartbroken – Daniel was a delightful young man with an exceptional work ethic. He was a wonderfully kind hearted person. I cannot believe heaven took him so soon. God bless you sweet Daniel, you will be greatly missed…
We visited Jim and Arlene in the winter of 1994. We will always remember that year because Daniel gave ua a little football with a face on it and said for us to keep it in the motorhome on the dash. We will always think of him when we look at this little football and will always keep him in our thoughts and hearts.
Love, Lavern and Berniece
MY DEARS MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND AND EASE YOUR SORROW GOD BLESS YOU LOVE HAZEL
To: Jim, Arlene, Jodie and Sarah
So very sorry to hear about Daniel. He will always be remembered by us as a good friend. We visited Jim and Arlene in 1994 and Daniel came out to our motorhome and told us he wanted us to keep the football emblem with us all the time, which we have yet. Please accept our sympathies.
Jim,Arlene,Jody and Sarah.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Daniel was a good man who will be remembered fondly.

words cannot express the sorrow we share with you in the loss of Daniel, although we never met him,we know he was a fine young man,and our thought and sympathy are with you all at this sad time.
Dear Jim, Arlene, Jody & Sarah,

My heart is filled with sorrow hearing about Daniel’s death. I saw him every Tuesday morning cleaning our pool, and he never left without a cheerful and kind word to me– always asking about our family. I thought he would go far in life because he was such a hard worker, so positive, and had such a natural way with people. I haven’t stopped crying because he left such an imprint on me. The world will truly miss such a bright and promising light. May God wrap his arms around his grandparents whom I know Daniel truly loved so much.
I am speechless… that such a wonderful, caring and friendly young man has been taken from us is difficult to believe. I first met Daniel years ago when he showed up at my house as a friend of my two sons. I was always impressed by his easy-going and happy nature, and I was thrilled that he was the kind of guy my boys wanted to hang around. Daniel began taking care of my pool around a year ago, and he was so explicit in the way he handled his business: professional almost to a fault, quick with advice and the good word, and always, ALWAYS so nice to speak with. My most sincere condolences to his family and friends. We will be poorer without his presence. I am so glad to have known him while he was here. He was a true blessing.
My heart goes out to the family. I am so sorry for your loss.
