Danny Clay, you have been a dear friend for 20 years. I will always cherish our memories and laughs and jokes and continuous friendship. My heart breaks for your family. I know that you are at peace now. Love always, Laura V.
I love you so much Dan. So many people, your parents, your brother, your friends, we are all crushed over this. We love you so so much. I don’t think I’m alone to say I’ve never felt loss like this before. There is no other Danny Utter. I hope you have found peace. I’m sorry I didn’t get to you. There is nothing like an in person visit with a friend and if people have a friend that’s suffering they should know this and go to be with their friend. Thanks for all of the cards, notes, calls etc over the years. You have always been such a sweetheart. I hope you have happiness Dan. We all thought we had more time with you. I always have and always will Iove you with all of my heart. Please be at peace. My sincere condolences and all my love to your family, friends, and especially to your parents and Matt. Rest In Peace Dan. Love you forever, Jessica.
Dan you are loved by so many people and will be greatly missed. Your soul is free my friend <3
I remember the joy you brought your parents when you arrived into their arms. There are no words to ease the sorrow of losing you, but may the memories of this joy move to the forefront very soon for everyone.
Dan was such a great person and full of kindness. My heart is with family.
Wade, I’m sending my sincere condolences to you and all of your family on the loss of your son. I’m so sorry.
I did not know Dan personally but my friend Jessica cared deeply for him. She never stopped loving him and caring about him. She remained connected with his family, as well. She spoke so highly of you and Dan was blessed with that.
I am so sorry for your loss. May God guide you through this process, holding you hands and hearts. God bless.
Danny was in the Cub Scout son with our son David and Wade shared the Den Leader duties with my wife Sherry and I so we have fond memories of he and his family. We are very sorry for your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you. We will also look for a way to get you some pictures we have from the Cub Scout events so you can take some comfort from the memories of those happy days.
I worked with Dan at Price Rite for the past 7 years. He showed respect to his co workers and to the customers. I definitely enjoyed working and talking with him. I’m going to miss him!
I’m sharing your sorrow. I’m sure Aunt Ads has him under her wing.
