We are so sorry for your loss, Steven, Kathy and Victoria. We pray for strength for you all to get through this unimaginable grief.
Dear Steve and Kathy – I am so sorry to hear about this. I had not seen Daniel in so long my what a handsome gent! There is an old expression that relates to this – in the Universe’s Conservation Laws of “difficult struggles” – it is widely believed that: “The Lord will never saddle you with more burden than he feels you can handle”….. Given the time you and Kathy spent with all the extra physical/financial/temporal/emotional/career burdens – you two masterfully juggled to shepherd Daniel smiling all the way – through his journey with us – *and* – you two still served the rest of mankind full-up 110% – with Kathy bringing injured people back to full physical function – and *you* Steve – doing awesome things you do every day to protect our Nation. You two did it all – without ever skipping a beat. Well – actions speak louder than words – it’s pretty clear that the Lord had you two selected for his “all star team” a long time ago. Hugs, Rick Wilson
Dear family of Daniel: I shall always remember Daniel’s wonderful smile at Beautiful Blessings and can only imagine how happy he is right now in Heaven. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. I found a verse from Lamentations (3:32), which I hope will bring comfort to you. It states: Though the Lord has brought grief, He will show compassion to you, so great is His unfailing love. For He does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men. I also hope you find as much hope and comfort in Corinthians 15 as I have during this time. Love in Christ
Steve, Kathy and Victoria: Our condolences and deepest sympathy on the passing on of Daniel. So sorry for your loss. He will be missed at the neighborhood picnics and during halloween. May he rest in peace.
Dear Steve and Katherine, I was so saddened to here of your loss of Daniel. May God’s comfort and peace be with you as He embraces Daniel and welcomes him home.
Dear Kathy and Steven, words cannot express how saddened I was to hear about your loss. I only met Daniel a couple of times, but his smile and personality were memorable. I pray that God will give you the strength and peace to know that Daniel is safe with him. Kathy you are an amazing and strong person, and I hope that strength will continue to see you through this. My prayers are with you and your family. With Sorrow, Margaux W. Craig

To the King/Braun Family, We at Freedom Hill were so sadden to learn of Daniel’s passing. We remember his wonderful smile, and the pleasure he showed when any of his Freedom Hill friends worked with him. In Heaven, perhaps, he is running, playing, and talking about all his lifetime adventures and the people he loved and those who loved him. My sympathy to the entire family and to all who loved Daniel.
Steve and Kathy, My deepest condolences on Daniel’s passing. –Carl Landwehr
