Latest Update:
A message from Daniel’s mother Anne and sister Angela:
Our beautiful Daniel went to be with his Lord early this morning. (January 22, 2019)
He put up a valiant fight, greater than most men see in battle. The Lord was ready for him to return home.
While we are in grief, we want to hold him in the highest light at this time. He would want that.
The Chaplain read him Psalm 23. And we read him Isaiah 41:10, that is tattooed on his arm.
His services will be here in Tampa. We will keep everyone posted.
Angela and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers, love and support. What angels we have surrounding us. ❤

Many of you know by now that Daniel is currently hospitalized. He has been diagnosed with Stage 4 bile duct cancer that has metastasized to some nearby organs.
It will come as no surprise to those who know Daniel that his strength, courage, and love of God is helping him in this very difficult battle that he faces.
To support him through this, his Mom, Anne Crowley, and his sister, Angela, have left their respective homes in Maryland and California to join him in Tampa, Florida, as his strongest supporters and most ardent advocates.
While Daniel’s health and care are the top priorities, reality is that daily life goes on and in addition to medical bills, they are facing current payments on two apartments and the family home in Maryland. All this while three of them have a loss of income.
So many of you have reached out and asked how you can help. They’ve been so touched and have felt so much love and comfort from all of you. Financial support through this Go Fund Me will go a long way in helping to relieve one of their burdens so that they can concentrate on the most important thing now, Daniel.
They sincerely thank all of you and ask that your prayers for Daniel, along with Anne and Angela continue.
