  3. Ms. Kelly
    My wife(Heather) & I are so very sorry to hear of Danny’s Passing. Danny was a great Mentor & friend when I first started out in Law Enforcement.
    He was always there when I had questions or needed some legal answer. The absolute crazy things he used to do to the Cloverdale PD officers is all classic Dan.
    Please M’aam except our most sincere condolences.

  11. I had the privilege of working with Dan for almost 16 years and tried to stay in touch after my Service with ISP. I always valued his friendship he was genuine and honest in all his dealings, and put all he had into everything he did. May Gods grace and peace be with his family as they mourn his passing.

  14. Kelly, I am so very sorry!! Dan was one of the trueist, most dependable, honest friend I had the privilege of having. We always cut up together and to each other. I remember distinctly the first time we met at Putnamville in the squad room. He said something about rookie but I dished it back to him and from that day we were brother’s. I’ll miss him tremendously but I’m fortunate to have him as my friend. Prayers to you and your family.

  16. Me and Dan went to K9 school together for 14 weeks. In one of the Photos on graduation day I was right next to him. He was great at auto theft and used the dog teams on details when he could. I didn’t even know he was sick. Hard worker who loved his family God Bless you Buddy thanks for your service.
