To Dane's Family - I knew Dane in high school and will never forget how your family always opened up your house to give us a safe, alcohol-free place to be teenagers. Dane was such a good guy who was a friend to everyone around him. God Bless.

Dane had a great sense of humor and appreciation of family. It has been such a sudden loss but we find comfort that on Easter he was resurrected with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Our family has lost a very special young man and so has the world.

I've known you forever. Since we were little lads. Of course, schooling so far apart made being closer friends difficult, we still had plenty of good memories from our childhood. My heart breaks, but you'll always be there in memory.
Ride safe, my friend.
