Dan,
Like your mom, I see you celebrating another feast at the table with our Lord. As much as I miss seeing your face and hearing your laughter, the sadness I feel, will some day be turned into happiness, when we all can celebrate the marriage feast of the Lamb...and see you again. The pain and missing you doesn't stop, but neither does my hope in the Lord.
Love, Aunt Patsy

Easter 2004.... Our last Easter with you. I remember each detail about the day. Spent the morning at church. Aunt Lois made a great dinner. We had the egg hunt with the children. We have pictures and a video. What a blessing those pictures are. Laura's sister and mother were also here to share it. The girls in their easter things. My how darling they were. They are in a play this year at their church. I miss you and will be thinking of you. One day we will all be resurrected and be together again. Matt misses ya so much. If the eyes are a mirror to the soul then he misses you from way down in his heart. Love you son. Mom

Just thinking about you today. I just smile thinking of you. I still miss you and still hurt from your absence, but rejoice knowing that you are with the Lord. I love to read what others have left on this page. It brings comfort to us knowing that others dont forget what a wonderful, funny, loving, silly, very silly guy you were while you were with us. How time is very short. I love you just the same, miss you just the same and cant wait to celebrate with you in heaven.

Hey Dan,

I remember you from LASD Academy Class #313. You were sort of quiet, but I could tell you were also a very good and kind person. We didn't talk much, but I knew you were a "team player" and were always ready to help the other recruits out when they needed it. When I read of your death in a law enforcement magazine, I was really shocked to say the least. Thank you, my brother, for your service and for having the courage to pin on the bade. You will be sorely missed!

Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Son. Thinking of you on this Special Day. Knowing that if you were with us this would be a mile stone in your life. Turning 40 on Christmas Day. Not only would we be celebrating the Birth of Christ, but yours as well. But it is not so. For us you will never age. You will always be young. We will look back in time and forever see a young man 35 years of age. We love and miss you so very much. Until that special day we all look forward to when we will all be together forever. Tell grandpa to have the fishing poles ready. Love ya Son

Happy 40th Birthday son. I am wondering how it must feel to share a birthday with the Lord of heaven and the creator of the universe. What joy that must be. We miss you on this day. Dad and I have been looking at scrap books of past holidays. Oh hope precious our memories are. Enjoy heaven and put in a good word for us all down here. May we all serve Him better this coming 2009.
Love you sweet, dear son. Mom

Thanksgiving and turkey always reminds me of the things you loved so much. Like sweet potato casserole and the mashed potatoes that always were a staple at our dinners. I thought a great deal Thursday about our past holidays. All the tea parties Laura gave us to begin the Christmas season together. In fact she is having one today for the friends and family that live in Indiana now. It is a time gone by but thankfully the gift of memories are engraved in our hearts forever to be opened as needed. You remain ever loved, remembered and cherished. The coming holiday will be full of new things but your love for them also will be treasured. Love and miss you!!! Mom

Danny I was just thinking of you today and missing you as much as ever. It is so hard sometimes just to believe that you are with our Heavenly Father and praising with Him. Saw pictures of your sweet girls and are they ever growing and serving the Lord. You would be so proud of them. Until we meet in glory I will go on missing you love you GRandma

To the family and loved ones of Deputy Daniel Archuleta, his fellow officers with the Kern County Sheriff's Department, and most especially to Daniel:

On this the fourth anniversary week of your tragic death please know that you are honored and revered today and everyday.

From all the loving reflections left about you, I can see that you were an amazing young man and what a grievous loss your loved ones have endured.

May your spirit continue to soar and your memory continue to inspire. You are loved and missed by so many.

Rest in Peace, Daniel. A body is but for a lifetime, but spirits and souls are for eternity and yours is forever part of those who call you beloved.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service Daniel gave to his community and the citizens of California, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on September 12, 2004.

Thoughts and prayers for your family come from our family as we share this sad day, the day four years ago when Dan and Deputy John Gunsell of Michigan were both taken from us. Time goes on and so do we, but we will never forget...

Think of you often Dan, and miss you a ton. Sometimes I still find it hard to grasp that you aren't around, and what a loss that is for this world, for your family, for your friends, for your department and fellow officers, and maybe most especially those that never go the chance to meet you. Thinking of you still and always makes me want to be a better man, father, and friend. Look forward to seeing you again in heaven.
Your friend,
Kevin

I have learned that scriptures promise comfort in our suffering (2 Cor. 1 3-7). I have learned that helaing may not arrive completely in this life, but we must trust our lives go God's sovereign direction. I have learned that God promises that He will wipe away all tears in heaven (Rev 7:17). but until then the healing will be incomplete. I have learned that he will comfort my affliction (Ps 119:50)..... So even at times when tears burn my eyes, He give peace that passes all understanding (Phil 4:7) I have learned that even in life's toughest circumstances, we can with God's help have a measure of healing, even though at time I check into HeartBreak Hotel in Brokenheartsville, I don't have to stay long. Praise Him.

What the past 4 years have taught me...We are all God's children "The day you die is better than the day you were born" (Eccles. 7:1) The angels in heaven don't weep when we leave the earth.. they rejoice. I learned that when we weep, Jesus weeps with us, He weeps for us. I learned that weeping doesn't represent a faithless heart, and that his tears gives me permission to shed my own. I learned that grief does not mean that I don't trust. I just don't grieve like those who have no hope!
