"On a beautiful Sunday in August, a group of good friends gathered in Durango to celebrate the life of Danny. Since Danny was such a fun loving person, we decided that we would have a fun filled day in his memory.
We began the day at el Rancho, one of the finest dive bars in Durango, for bloody maries, shots of beam, and breakfast from the Durango diner. At around noon we headed up the Animas valley to Baker’s bridge, an amazing spot on the Animas River where Danny spent many a fun day with friends. At Baker’s we did some cliff jumping, rope swinging, beer drinking and lounging in the afternoon sun. Then, before departing, we poured some of Danny’s ashes off of the tallest cliff into the river, and all jumped off of the cliff with him in unison.
Next, we moved down into town for some tubing. We poured the last of Danny’s ashes into the river, and floated down with them in a large group. The weather couldn’t have been better; there was not a cloud in the sky the entire day. In the evening, we moved up to David Sheppard’s house in Edgemont ranch, a place where Danny lived for awhile while doing some beautiful finish carpentry in the basement. We had a barbeque, a keg of good beer and some good times, before breaking out instruments and playing music until late into the night.
All in all it was a great, fun filled summer day that Danny would have truly enjoyed."
