I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

Even tho we never met I want to thank you for your service. I was at the CHP Academy today and the senior class was getting ready for graduation this Friday. They are in the 20200 badge numbers and they all look so young. Danny, Can you please watch over these brave young men and women as they start their CHP careers as well as for my son who graduates this Friday from the LAPD academy. My daughter is a Custoims and Border Protection Federal officer and having you watch over all of them makes be so happy. Thank you for your 13 years of dedicated service from one Highway patrol Officer to another....Semper Fi...Blue and Gold forever....

Forever soaring high above
On wings of Blue and Gold,
Let slip the surly bonds of earth
These mortal eyes never again to behold.
If ever you feel sad, scared or alone,
Just look to the skies and my spirit you will see
Forever in your heart,
Forever in air,
Forever Air-63
