Daniel was a student of mine during his four years at Air Academy High School, and we stayed in contact for several years after that, often over lunch where Dan would catch me up on his pursuits and dreams.  I lost contact with him about four years ago, and for some reason out of the blue I thought of him today (1-18-23) and found a Facebook comment which made me concerned.  I Googled obituaries and found his, and am so deeply saddened.  Daniel was very proud of his Greek heritage, and deeply connected to all of you who are family.  He spoke of you all often, and had particular pride in, and respect for,  his brothers.  I know he faced challenges, and struggled to find the niche of a profession that would bring meaning to his life, and to find someone special to share his future.  My heart breaks that he has left our world, and I pray that he has now found peace.

Daniel, my brother, I can't believe you've left us. You had the biggest heart, and I'll always remember growing up together, our video game weekends, sleepovers, trips to the beach and the mountains. May your memory be eternal. 

Love,
Bill

So very sorry for your loss.
