Danny Morales Memorial Fund

Donation protected

Danny Morales left us suddenly and unexpectedly on Thursday, October 12th.   He was a friend to everyone he met. With his beautiful, mischievous, giant, easy smile that matched his fun-loving heart, he made instant connections and touched all he knew.  While there are aren’t enough words to fully capture the spirit of Danny, many of us have been trying: “an amazing gift” “loud, fierce, fearless” “always smiling and laughing he would light up the room” “a step ahead of everyone in words and humor” “genuine, caring and quick to offer a hand to anyone in need”.

With his exit from this world there’s a feeling that a light of pure joy has been extinguished from it.  While we’re sad, overwhelmingly sad, we also want to honor his joyful light with the loving and celebratory sendoff he earned. To help  with some of the costs associated, we’re asking you to consider a small donation.
