Danny's Passing

We are very saddened to say that on the evening of March 22, 2009 Danny Carlson passed away due to a massive stroke. All indications are that he died quickly, with very little suffering.

Danny is an amazing person who touched many people's lives. We want this website to help connect all the incredible people in Danny's life, to share information with you on how we plan to honor him, and provide a place for us all to share thoughts, prayers and memories of Danny.

The memorial service was held on Saturday, March 28th in Colorado near Danny's home town. You can share stories about Danny here.

Danny's Toast, and Mexico

My wife and I got married on April 1st, 2007, and my brothers Andy and Danny were my co-best men. Our wedding was in a small fishing village in Mexico and Danny was one of the first to arrive and one of the last to leave. Of course Danny being Danny, he didn't try to rent a room until he got there and ended up sleeping on the beach the first couple of nights. The morning tide brought waves that woke him earlier than he planned; the second night he slept further away from the ocean.

The day of our wedding Andy lost his voice (!) and Danny gave the toast at our ceremony (Andy gave us his written speech and it was incredible). It's been hard for me to watch the video until recently, but I now can and I wanted to share it here. Danny did an amazing job.
