Daniel, sometimes to referred to as Danny by his friends, grew up in and spent most of his life in Hillsborough.

He found his passion learning how to repair things from a young age, and could often be found taking apart old computers or engines and trying to put them back together.
To know Daniel was to love his genuinely kind and loving soul, he had a huge heart and cared so deeply for others and would give you the shirt off his back if you ever needed it. He also loved animals and was always bringing home anything from kittens to reptiles.
Apart from his job at Autozone, in his spare time you could find Daniel fishing, playing video games with his brother Matthew, working on his motorcycle and cars with his dad, or hanging out with his close friends and family.
