Rest in peace my beautiful cousin Daniel.
Thank you for the bear hugs, the guitar lessons, the "waves" and the love. You were the most real human being I've ever known, a lesson to us all to feel what we need to feel, to say what we need to say and to love through thick and thin.

so sorry to read such sad news. it is always hard to loose your loved ones, but when they are young, it is even worse as there is a feeling of injustice, that they weren't given the opportunity to do it all...

Lisa Huala Clark
We are all epic, though many don't know it yet. Maybe the great ones are leaving to push/inspire the rest of us into manifesting our own greatness?

Daniel had suffered the last several years from Hemochromatosis -
I am imagining that there was too much love in his heart, and now it has spilled out as light and is everywhere. I am grateful that he is no longer in pain.

In accordance with his wishes, Daniel will be buried in the cemetery in Juliaetta, Idaho, dressed in his leathers, and in a plain pine box. The burial will occur on Thursday, April 22 at Noon. There will be two memorial gatherings for Daniel in the near future, first in the Port Townsend, Washington area, and then later in the San Francisco Bay Area. I will announce exact details of the memorials as soon as they are decided on.

thinking of Daniel with so much love as he is buried today...I feel his joyful spirit and energy everywhere...remembering times backpacking and camping in the sierras, feeling really connected to the earth, the trees, the rocks, the rivers, the animals...feeling the truth of life

With love, laughter, and tears, we returned Daniel’s body to the earth on Earth Day.
It was raining hard all morning, and raining still when we began. The cemetery was
muddy, but the rain ended before the service concluded, and then the sun came out
and it was a brilliant, sunny afternoon. In addition to myself, Chris, and my mom
and dad, some of Chris’ relatives from the town turned out in the rain, including
her nephew “Little” Ed, who is a guy as big as Daniel was! (And I sure felt Daniel’s
weight when we carried his pine-

Forgot to include this important Daniel detail... At the service conclusion, we lit
off bottle rockets, and those who wished fired off Dan's shotgun. His wife Chris

On Death
You would know the secret of death.
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
The owl whose night-
If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;
And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.
Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king?
Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
