Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Happy Fathers Day My Son. I had to work today and it help me keep my mind busy. It is still hard on days like this that remind me of all the phone calls, cards, and B-B-Q's that we would have together. Mom went over to spend the day with your brother Matt, Jen and the boys. I called Matt from work to wish him a happy fathers day and I wanted so much to be able to do the same with you. I also got a sweet call from Laura and the girls wishing me a happy fathers day. We are all doing better I think, but we still miss you so much on these special days. All my love, Dad

Another Mother's Day going by with full memories of how wonderful it is to be a mom. I read some of the cards you have given me over the years and so many ones from you and your family. The words are kind and loving. I feel you close in my heart especially today. The memories of past Mother's Days warm my soul. I love you and I miss you still. Laura wrote and had loving words for me as her mother-in-law. She is a dear daughter. As the sun goes down and claims the day I am thankful for you and your many years of love. Love Mom

Deputy Daniel,
I met your mother at this year's California Peace Officer's Memorial as we sat next to each other at the Candlelight Vigil. You would have been proud of your parents they were there to help other families' if they needed to talk as surviving parent(s) to other families that are now feeling the pain and sorrow of their loss. They obvioulsy miss you very much as any parent would. You along with so many others will never be forgotten. I pray for you Mr. & Mrs. Archuleta as I know the pain must be unbearable. May peace be with you.

Just thinking about you on my way to work today. I miss you so much!! Healing from the pain, but not the emptiness. I miss your smile, your hugs and the laughter we shared. I just am really missing you today. I love you.

How wonderful Easter must have been for you. Knowing that the risen Savior lives, and you are there must be something fantasic. Missing you more as we go through the holidays because you always seemed to have something going on with someone. Time does have a way of healing, but the missing part never goes away.
Until we see each other again I want you to know that I am taking care of your parents and you would be so proud of your family.
Love you so, Auntie Gracie

Happy Easter Son,
Called the Girls today and wished them a Happy Easter. Spent this Easter with your borhter Matt and his boys. Went over to Jennifer's Aunt Nancy's home for Easter dinner. She is a real sweet christian Lady. Was thinking of you and remembering how much fun you had helping the girls find eggs on Easter Sunday. So many good memories to help easy the pain of you not being here with us on this Holidays. Wondering how you are celebrating this day in Heaven. I Can Only Imagine.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Even though I only met you a few times, I now know how many lives you touched. You are not forgotten and if there is a Rural Crime Unit up in Heaven, I am sure you are on it. I remember when you told me you wanted my job so you could drive a 4x4 truck. Brother, may you Rest in Peace and Honor.

Wow Danny,

I think about you often. I remember running next to you in the academy and your quiet but funny ways. I was reading what you dad wrote about your smile. I remember it vividly. I remember meeting your wonderful wife and your first daughter at a platoon picnic we had a Lucy's house. Remember that? How about that aweful dungeon we worked in on earlies?

I'm sorry its taken me so long to say something. Its been hard. I lost 4 partners/friends in a matter of 2 years...You, James Tutino, Maria Rosa and Dave Piquette. Tomorrow marks the one year anniversery of our classmate, Deputy Rosa's murder. Sometimes it's hard to take it all in. I get so angry at all of this. How this career takes a toll on so many lives. But I keep doing it. I think about you guys. I know you guys are Angels watching over us - your brothers and sisters in law enforcement - getting us through these days and those times. Oh, trust me danny, I think about you guys all the time. I have our class picture mounted by my front door and I'm reminded of so many good times, and good things and good reasons to keep doing what 'we' do. You will not be forgotten.

Danny,
I am just sitting here thinking about you. I saw your precious girls this weekend. They are so sweet. Victoria and Bella have some of your expressions and I couldnt help but miss you. I miss you the same. The pain comes and goes, but the empty place in my heart is still just as big. I love you so much and cant wait to celebrate once again with you. Save me a good spot at the table that is being prepared for us. XO

As I was driving home from work I saw a mini van with a familiar ribbon, as I got closer I saw a memorial sticker with your name. I hurried home so I could look you up in this site, you see I also lost a loved one in the line of duty and I also try to honor my brother in every which way I can imagine at home, work and my car with anything that can remind me of him and let the world know how proud I will always be of my hero. It shows me I am not alone, the person in the mini van shares my pain. We all have one thing in common, we have our very own ANGELS IN BLUE that watch over us each day. A hero lives forever in our hearts. We will never forget.

My thoughts are with your loved ones as I know the pain they feel in their hearts. I know that your parents would trade places with you in a heart beat as I would with my son so that you could both be here with your families pursuing your careers in law enforcement that you loved so much. Keep watch over your loved ones and those still out on patrol. You are a true hero and heroes never die, you will never be forgotten.

How awsome it must be to have celebrated Christ's birth with him and your heavenly family. We were so blessed to have celebrated Christmas Eve with your mom and dad and our children, but as much fun as we had, I know it could never compare to what you are enjoying with our Lord.
Happy "Heavenly Birthday." Love you always

As I sit here and reflect on the past few days I realize how truly blessed we all are. The family we have is always there to help our hurting heart. We went to Hillcrest and left flowers and prayed with Nick and Lois. How close we feel when we are there. I know you are in heaven and I know you would have it no other way but I still miss you. Rest eternally and joyfully in the presence of the Lord and I will see you one day. I love you son. Happy 3rd heavenly Christmas!!!

Hello again Danny,
I was just talking with a co-worker today about thanksgiving plans, and holidays gone by - and I started remembering all the funny things you had done in the past. I always loved our holiday get-togethers. I loved hanging out with all of my cousins. I will miss you again this year. I hope that heaven has pies for you to steal from the kitchen and hide and eat in the garage :)
I love you - Shannon

My Dear Son
It has been 2 years and 2 months today Sunday Sept 12th. that we lost you. It is getting close to the holidays and I am starting to get that sick feeling in my stomach again. Thanksgiving and Charistmas I think were the two holidays you loved the most. Being with family and friends always brought smiles to your face. Watching you eat a turkey leg or a piece of pie at Christmas show us how much you enjoyed life and being with familly. We miss your presences, your joy, your smiles and laughter. Looking forward to our family reunion, Love Dad

Danny,
I must admit I have been avoiding this website... it hurts a little too much sometimes, and it seems like the quick and easy fix is to avoid things. I know that dosn't make it okay - and I am sorry. I miss you all the time. I think about you all the time. I know you are in a better place and I rejoice for you because of that. I missed you at my wedding... I know you would have had fun. I love you cousin. I hope for a long life full of great memories, but I eagerly await the next time I can see you.

Our family, each one made it a day to remember and honor you. Your wife and children did all the things you loved to do. From Code Red to White Castles and your other favorites. Laura is doing a wonderful job in keeping you and your memories strong and living in the hearts of your girls. Oh those girls, you would be so proud of all 3 of them. The passing of time is healing the grief but there is still much pain from missing you. The strongest comfort of all is knowing you are in heaven and as the Bible says, "For me to live is Christ to die is gain". You left an amazing touch on the hearts of so many. It is comforting to us to know everyone thinks of you often and prays for us. What love that is. Until we get there we will love and honor you and your memory. Love mom, and honored to be so.
