Danielle and Aunt Tig,

Words cannot express how much of a treasure Uncle D was. No matter what he was going through, we always saw that show stopping smile. As we celebrate his home going, know that God's plan is always bigger and better than ours. He don't make mistakes. Uncle D served his purpose and God needed him to come home so he can be that angel sitting on your shoulder. Although he is gone, he will forever be in our hearts. Remember, as you continue your journey, he will be right there cheering you on every step of the way. I fervently pray that as you say goodbye, God continues to strengthen and comfort you. We love you and understand that as your journey continues,  we will always be here for whatever you need.

Our Condolences to the Diaz Family, as you all are in our prayers
With Love, 
~Michael and Erin Johnson

Alvin and I will always remember Danny.  He always treated us like family.  May his soul rest in peace.

Danielle, Your DAD was an original.  May your memories bring you comfort.  We are sharing your sorrow and going to miss him too.  We may have to let go, but we never forget.  Our thoughts and hearts are with you in the weeks, months and years ahead.  Through his fight he has fought every trial and fear.  From above he is watching over you, his vision was truly remarkable. If in the darkness and you see stars above, the one that shines the brightest is your DAD shining for love.  I offer my heartfelt commiseration. I fervently pray that GOD blesses and strengthens you in this one of his greatest trials for the family.  My love for you will offer non ending support in your journey that is ahead. Time passes, but the pain in our hearts and when the tears in our eyes have dried and the goodbyes have been said, all we have to hold onto are the happy memories that we've shared with your dad will keep him alive in our hearts. ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU, SINCERELY.  LOVE YOU!  AUNTIE "J"

Tig, I don't where to begin in such difficult times.  I truly believe that Danny would want you to keep moving, living and be happy. He was a true original.  I remember the beginning in the 80's when he said, "he would marry you because the family had oil and riches". WE knew how funny that was and up to this year 2014 he often mentioned it. Remembering back in the college days dancing at the Hot Spot/"The New Experience".  OH BOY IT WAS FUN HE THOUGHT HE WAS SO COOL! :)! He was a true original. May your memories bring you comfort.  When we lose a love one here on earth we gain an angel in heaven that watches over us.  May God embrace you in comfort during this difficult time. We have such a special bond that will always keep us close in heart and joys and remembrance of Big Boy continues. Memories of him are happy ones, fun, kind ones, wit and especially humor about the family.  He was the best of company.  We may have to let go, but never forget.  Danny vision of life was truly remarkable.  Danny will stay forever in our hearts for days, weeks, months and many years and his soul in our prayers. Accepting a loss is truly difficult, but is just another test of faith.  God only gives us trials lesser than our strength and assistance beyond our eyes can see.  A good soul is now at peace.  My love is with you on this journey FOREVER AND ALWAYS.  JANETTA COATS
