Hey Brother,

Your sacrifice and dedication to serving others will never be forgotten. I heard about this while serving in the Military across the world. This, hit me very hard.......I worked with him as an Explorer, and a Volunteer Firefighter. He was Definitely one of the best Friends, Police Officers, Fire Fighters, that I have ever known.....Still to this day I miss your LIGHT of LIFE! You always had a way of putting thing into perspective!

Love you brother!

Rest in peace and thank you for dignifying your position Officer Starks. Twenty-one years old, way too young with more to fulfill.

Hello Dan,

I got to give your final 10-7 back in 2003 and tonight I was on channel 1 and got to give you a moment of silence in your memory.

I was shaking but I think I did you justice. Watch over us...

I remember that day and was at his funeral. My son is buried next to him and I stop by every time I visit. I retired from the line and think of the young officers daily.

Dan,

A normal sat afternoon after training at the Fire Dept sitting on truck looking at nalle rd watching the cars go bye and just bull sh*tting about life those were the days werent they? Thinking how good we had it and how we were accomplishing our dreams Just reminising on our explorer days on getting our drivers license for the first time our birthday partys and bond fires @JBirds. Me n my brother are still tight he misses you to. It's hard for him to talk about you when he just brings up old memorys you know when were all talking and your name is said he just tears up n say i miss that boy. Those afternoons seem so far gone but so fresh in memory your so dearly missed by us. So you were right about police academy its alot tougher than i thought. lol. SGT Doro was a great motivater and P.t Instructor tho. I just lost Dad 2mnths ago. It was getting harder n harder to take care of him while i was attending school with him living with me. i miss you alot tell him hi would ya. Our birthday past few months ago seems like yesterday you were just there with us celebrating. I know your watching down on us all. Just keep on being the shakest gun in the west lol that was the joke wasnt it. You wil always be my big brother and i miss you dearly. Me n Kenny are getting married soon and the kids are growing fast wish you were here for all of it. See you in heaven

Although I have known pain ~ it is certain that I can never truly know yours...How much I love my children ~ and I cannot imagine an empty bed or the realization that on this Earth we wil never meet again...I only know that because of our great Hope in Christ ~ that one day ~ you WILL get to hear Daniel's voice ~ see his smile ~ and walk beside him once more. Heaven holds this promise and it is especially real to those who have lost their loved ones...Until then, I pray for your peace and the soothing of your wounds and healing in the deepest corners of your heart...

To the parent's of Daniel you are in my prayers today as you face another EOW. It doesn't seem like time should keep moving on without our kids, but it does and we just have to move on with it. You son will never be forgotten, a true HERO he is and will always be.

I remember you being Andrew's little brother. I remember the day that I heard about your accident. You were always a nice person to me when we were kids, always the good guy. The world lost a great person that day. I know because I knew the kind of person you were when we were teenagers. When we used to walk home from Middle School together, with your brother. You were a good kid and even though I didn't know you as an adult, I know that you will be missed by many for a very long time. May you rest in peace and may God bless your family and loved ones.

Wow going through old laundry today trying to make room... ran across those dang ol' wrangler jeans of mine..My Bug says dang mommy you need to throw those away.. they have paint splattered all over them from our paint fight setting up for the haunted house a week before you passed. and a rip on the lower left leg from where they got ripped on our bday 01/17/03. lol. man ron did stur up some craziness. But i just looked with a crazy expression refolded them and remebered those are my lucky jeans the ones i always got hurt in bucked off the horse in when you guys tried making me go to the hospital. For some reason people deal with things in different ways n those ol' jeans collecting dust with your picture on our desk is just the way i deal. You are so still missed and now it's going to be my 6th birthday with you gone. Your were a great big brother/friend. I miss argueing with you that Lee county sheriff explorers were better than fort myers police explorers man we had rivary going on. But every year that our birthday comes ill shout and toast another for you. Ill always miss our lunch that monday. Your so missed but never forgotten. God Bless Mom Kathe n Fiance Jessica and the rest of the friends n family of my dear big brother!

my precious son
another year has passed and i made it thru. i still cant believe that 6 years have gone by and i am still here. i guess god still needs to work on me. i miss you so that just the thought of your walk, voice and laugh bring me tears. i cant wait until we are all reunited in heaven. i am so grateful for the support we have received - but nothing replaces you. i love you always and forever...

Your heroism and service is honored today, the sixth anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

To your loved ones: I understand the meaning of lives forever altered, and know that the hurt of losing a beloved never goes away...the pain and pride are forever. I pray for your solace. To your mom, your love for Daniel radiates in your reflections and I know you and your family miss him each and every day. Losing a child is surely one of life's greatest sorrows and it is a physical ache that is always present, but I know each memory is like a precious jewel. To his friends, thank you for being such a strong support system for his family...that is such a blessing and you are honoring your brother when you care for his family.

Rest In Peace, Daniel.
