He made everyone around him feel so special. Even trying to describe him, we will never have enough words to explain the wonderful, amazing an awesome human being he was. Dan was always there for his beloved kids, the most important thing in his life, the ones for which if he had to stop the world, he would do it without hesitation. He made the life of Trevor and Tyler a wonderland, literally.
