Ive been talking to jake for a while now and knew daniel was in prison but there had been no way to come see him. we shared some good memories esp younger years Ill never forget him. lifes unfair and we dont know when are time is up. It shouldnt of happened, Im sorry for everyones loss and Im praying for family and friends. I love you and Ive missed you. My dad told me about this then I called jake to comfort him. I cant make it to services I have no transportation, he’s in my heart and mind he’ll never be forgotten God love him. Your in a better place now rest in peace daniel love kanya and gary bailey

Daniel was my Nephew through marriage, although it seemed odd Daniel calling me uncle Jody he was always bigger than me.Lol. So over the last ten years Daniel and I became friends. During that time he lived with my wife and I for a short period of time and I worked with Daniel for a little while. I quickly came to realize even though Daniel had made some mistakes in his life he had a big heart and would give you the shirt off his back if need be. The last three years my wife Shawn and I have had the extreme pleasure of raising his son Daymien. Daniel i Know your reading this so know this i will never default on my promise to you regarding your son. Love you and miss you Bro.
Thoughts and prayers for the family during this tragic time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Wendy (Buckles) Wright Jo (Buckles) Scoggan

two months before your passing, i had to say goodbye to my mom, your aunt. I had the pleasure to speak with you the day of her passing on may 11, 2011. you told me you loved me and you were sorry that you couldnt be there for us. I was looking forward to our meeting when u got out or when i was able to come see you. I never remembered the bad stuff you did, just the positive influence you were to me. you were someone i looked up to. kinda like a brother. thats why this has been hard on me. I hope they find justice for you and day. He will need it one day to feel a sense of completeness. i see and feel you in him and its so amazing. I love you daniel.
