    I am so saddened to hear this news. He was such a good friend of my brother, Ryan Russell. I was able to meet up with Danny ( Dan) about ten years ago and was so pleased to see him again. It was like seeing a long lost family member. I’m paying for all of you as you go through this extremely difficult time. Please take care.

    Our hearts are broken at this very sad & shocking news. We remember some great times with Danny, Troy & Jill as kids. All three were in our wedding many moons ago. As it goes with cousins, we didn’t keep much in touch, but the love is always there & it’s great when we can all reconnect. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Danny’s wife and family, and to Troy & Jill and their families and last but not least, to Uncle Lyle & Aunt Stuffy many loving hugs, across the miles.
