Daniel had an irresistible smile that could light up a room. He lived his life carefree - with no boundaries or regrets. He was spontaneous and always ready to make an adventure out of every day. He also took so much pride in the bond he shared with his entire family. He had a love for his fur babies, music, crafting, traveling, long drives, star gazing, and most of all as he called it “our safe place” our “happy place” The BEACH.
