Celebrating Danny’s Light and Legacy

Donation protected
In honor of Danny’s life, his love, and the light he brought into the world.

With broken hearts, we share the unexpected passing of Danny - a beloved son, brother, friend, and partner.

Danny was recently engaged to the love of his life, Allen. The two shared a deep, joyful love, and Danny adored Allen immensely. Their future together was full of hope, laughter, and plans that were only just beginning.

Anyone who knew Danny knew his selfless heart, his infectious smile, and his rare gift of making everyone feel like a friend - because to Danny, no one was ever a stranger. He carried a light that drew people in and made them feel seen. Danny’s love for Pokémon was a joyful extension of who he was; through thoughtful unpackings and tender, detailed narrations of his cherished Pokémon statues, he shared not just his knowledge, but his wonder - creating moments of connection, comfort, and joy for so many.

Danny also loved his little family deeply; his two dogs, Kaisa and Sersi, and their cat, Pickles. They were woven into his everyday happiness and the home he built with Allen.

Because Danny and Allen were engaged but not yet married, Allen is facing this heartbreaking loss without access to life insurance or survivor benefits, while also carrying the immense emotional weight of losing his partner.

This fundraiser is to help ease the immediate financial burden Allen is facing, including:

• Funeral and memorial expenses

• Living expenses during this time of grief

• Giving Allen the space to grieve without the added fear of financial instability

If you knew Danny, we invite you to share a memory, a story, or a moment that reflects the light he brought into your life. Each remembrance is a gift, and a way to keep his spirit alive.

Every donation, share, and kind word is a way to honor Danny’s life and to remind Allen that he is not alone.

Thank you for helping us celebrate Danny’s love, his kindness, and the lasting impact he made on so many hearts.
