I am very saddened and sorry to report that Danny has passed away. Danny had become my friend and I will miss him for who he was. Go in peace Danny - may you find happiness and comfort the rest of your days.
Damn it all....never again will I not call someone when I get that feeling in my gut. I owed him a phone call..he can't be gone. Danny changed my life. I have told him (and many others) that after first meeting him at Glen Helen about 5 years ago that he changed the way RiderDown would work to help injured riders. SCI, TBI and other life altering injuries became top priority. He opened my eyes to many issues. I couldn't believe it when we first met. I mean the guys a freakin' legend, he had been a hero of mine for years even though he was only 3 days older than me. Jody W. described him to me before we met as being "like a hemorrhoid - you never know when he's going to flare up" and that was certainly true. He saw the need for safety in this sport and championed that cause for years, let's not forget that part of his legacy. Danny was passionate about the things he loved...and he loved Motocross.
Godspeed Danny...R.I.P. You will be missed greatly but remembered forever!
