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.

Birthday Poem by Lori

4/4/2010


It was a beautiful day,
the day you were born.
And on this day we can't help but to mourn,
not your birth but the life that has passed.
The ashes we spread growing tall in the grass.
Our beautiful memories are sung by the birds,
so expansive and endless they can't be spoken with words.
The waves on the shore are bringing you home.
Every day that the sunlight falls,
we are one step closer to where you are.
The clear blue skies echo the patience in your eyes.
They remind me of a day that is never cloudy and never gray.
It was not death that you feared,
only a life chased down with the falling of tears.
For this reason we will celebrate the day,
knowing that when we think of you, you are never far away.
As my life scrambles forward,
parts of me shed on the path.
I know the things that are sure to last.
With these things you will always remain,
it is the part of me removed from pain.


Love,
Lori
