Dane has left a mark on everyone that he encountered in his far to short life. He had a way of befriending anyone who crossed his path. As family and friends mourn the loss of such a wonderful young man... please know that his family is truly moved by all of the support and outreach that people from all over the country have shown. Dane will forever be remembered for how he lived not how he died! My hope is that Dane knows just how much he is loved buy all who know him. Dane, we love you and we are so blessed to have had you in our lives.
