In memory of Theo Wayne Daniel.

Hello, my name is Gabe. Theo had been my closest friend for as long as I can remember. Hello, my name is Hendrix. Theo walked into my life when I was three months old, and he is included in every memory I cherish from my childhood. We are raising money in his memory to support his family and others struggling with addiction.

Theo was a sweet and gentle soul with a sly smile, a contagious laugh, and a love of critters and the outdoors. He lived with an unrelenting curiosity for life and everything it had to offer. Being exceptionally gregarious, Theo never failed to make everyone around him feel welcome and comfortable. He was a loving and kind son, a supportive and caring brother, a loyal and amazing friend, and a gentle and adventerous soul. He lived solely to make those he cared about happy. He was taken from us far too soon.

In August, at 20 years old and after 8 months of sobriety, Theo became a victim of the fentanyl epidemic storming our streets. In witnessing Theo’s struggle, we learned how a lack of resources can be a barrier to help for so many who seek it, and so, in his honor, we’d like to help. The funds will be split between Theo’s outstanding expenses, the family’s moving expenses, and Medicinehorse.org, a nonprofit organization providing free equine therapy programs for mental health issues, including addiction.

We love and miss you so so much Theo. Rest In Peace.
