Dearest Ana, Ed, and Louis -- We are deeply saddened by the loss of this wonderful young man. We are regretful, too, that we were not in touch well enough to be with you and instead learned the news weeks later at service where the community said his name at Kaddish. Please know that we are thinking of you and feel blessed that all four of us knew Danny.
All our love,
Karen, Eric, Noah, and Madeleine

To Danny, one of my closest friends in high school. You were deeply loved by everyone around you and I will always remember you. I'm so sorry that I just found out and I didn't make your funeral. I know that you are in a better place now, and someday we will meet again.

Danny was a face that would brighten a room when he entered. He was such a kindhearted and spirited guy, he was always looking out for others in any way he could. He will be missed he made an impact in my life.

Dear. Danny’s family I am so sorry for your loss. Danny was one of my best friends at Denver Academy from 6th grade through high school. He was such a sweet, kind, caring, loving, and gifted person. I will hold my memories I had with him in my heart forever. May he Rest In Piece!

There are simply no words to express how heartbroken we all are to learn of Danny’s passing. The Hoffenberg family was so warm and supportive to us during our time in Colorado. This very much includes Danny who helped welcome our oldest son into his class at Denver Academy. We remain, as always, grateful to your beautiful family and the kind soul of your wonderful son. Peace. John, Danielle, and the Fortunato family.

To Danny
I can’t say I knew you more than most
or well, like those that came to your home each night
to sit in and with the light
you shed.
But I know the light you shed was surely orange;
so warm it told me to laugh at nothing –
silence was telling jokes if you were willing
to listen.
And you listened. To the nothingness
I spoke, as if it was orange light
casting something you hadn’t seen with bare eyes –
you took it in.
You took it all in. The bits of history we forgot (or
neglected); the world as it melded together
from car windows; the purest lives, tucked behind
non-human forms – we were all busy
looking past.
I can’t say I knew you more than most;
my memories with you are finger-counted.
But I’m sure I know your presence –
bright and gentle and kind, the kind
that tells you to kick off your shoes and sit
cross-legged, laugh at nothing and turn nothing
into something: a world that is all your own.
I want to bottle up your orange light.

Danny was a great friend. Always knew how to make your day brighter, I was just talking about him a few weeks back and remembering the adventures we went on. The one that keeps going through my mind is adventuring all night from the mountains to Denver and beyond. I'll miss you Danny. Thanks for being my friend

My dear friend Danny was the kindest and most sincere person I've ever met. From when we are the "cool kids" in middle school at Denver Academy, to when there was drama between our friend group... He was there for every single one of us and he made our bond stronger. Even if none of the old friends from Denver Academy talked in years, we would come together and see eachother for our deep rooted connections that Danny helped make strong. I will miss you forever, and i can say im glad you are at rest in peace. See you again, my friend.

THE BINDING OF ISAAC-WHAT IT MEANS YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW
You may remember the story of the binding of Isaac. Abraham hears voices from God and is compelled to take his son Isaac, plus servants and donkey, up the mountain where he binds Isaac with the intent to sacrifice him, but just in time the angels call to him and show him a ram to sacrifice instead.
Is this a story of schizophrenia? Or child abuse? And where is Sara? And the poor ram, what about it?
I believe it is a story of parents and the choices we make for our children for the next generation.
It is about Abraham, not about Isaac, nor the ram.
And Abraham could be any parent.
Almost exactly 23 years ago, my wife and I realized we were praying for the sacrifice. Our first child was born with a serious heart defect called hypoplastic left heart syndrome in which the main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, does not form. He would die within hours or days without intervention, and the best option was a heart transplant. To have a chance at life, we would have to sacrifice the baby born to us, for a post-operative baby who would forever be different. And there would have to be a different baby who died and whose parents chose to make the sacrifice of organ donation.
While we were waiting for a new heart, the high Holidays came around and the story of the binding of Isaac, and my wife and I realized we were in the position of rooting for the sacrifice and the knife for a chance at life. And we could not know the outcome.
Now, it is the day of our child’s funeral. Two heart transplants and 23 years later, the same time of year and the same story. But now, I have a different perspective.
It is still about Abraham and no one else.
It is about a parent making a difficult decision for his child.
The knife is raised high, perhaps it is slashing downward, or about to be dropped.
Just as the decision is made, the angels call, and the knife diverted to the ram.
To me today, the story has an entirely different meaning.
As a parent, we make difficult choices for our children. Choices that may cause pain and suffering. Choices for which the consequences are unknown and unknowable.
The story is that as mere humans, we have to make choices, and this includes choices that impact the survival of our children. Our capacity to make choices is one of our gifts from God.
And once we make the difficult choice, whatever it may be, then the voices of the angels may come, and the burden is lifted and life flows on.
Today is a day of sorrow, a time for mourning. I don’t know if there will be just a few people or hundreds at the funeral service. But I do know this. In the 23 years of borrowed time, my child grew into a young man who made everyone who knew him smile, who had a unique sense of humor, who struggled with health and learning disabilities, and anxiety and depression and did so with grace. He loved animals (such a cat whisperer) and his friends and family deeply. He was kind. He taught us about the important stuff and letting the little stuff go. He was all we could have dreamed for.
The decision was made a long time ago, our decision on the mountain with our bound “Isaac”.
In the days to come cry and laugh and share stories and be together with us and honor the life of our child.
Our “Isaac” had a life well lived whose ripples we cannot perceive right now.
And sign up for organ donation.

My heart is broken. I love you so much Danny. Your happiness was contagious to everyone in the room. You were always a team player and ready to take on each day with your friends. You flourished on the stage and never missed a beat to be a good friend.
One day in class I had mentioned how thirsty I was. Danny asked for a bathroom break and came back 15 minutes later with a soda from Dairy Queen just for me. His rebellious nature only coming through to help a friend completely on his own terms.
I’m sending all my love to your strong beautiful family. I know you are on your own stage now along side the greatest actors the world has known.

Danny truly was the nicest person I've ever met, and probably ever will meet. He was an amazing friend, a fantastic actor, and was someone who we could all look up to in any situation. It's going to be extremely difficult not having him around anymore. My deepest condolences go out to Ed, Ana and Louis. Danny will always be remembered fondly by all of us.

Danny was a grate man, friend and could light up any room he walked in with a smile I think Danny had the biggest smile of anyone I ever knew. He fought a long and hard fight he never had the demeanor of a defeatist even though the odds were never in his favor. Danny was always an inspiration to me and I'll always keep him close to my heart I am so sorry for your loss
