Chandler#81 Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Crushing news, NG. My heart is heavy with your sorrow. I'm not a religious sort, but you and your family are in my thoughts and have my condolence. You have fellow Bills fans here who care. Stay involved.
BillnutinHouston Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 My condolences. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
Moose Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Addiction is a scourge. My deepest condolences, NG. I believe you will be reunited with Danny someday in a better place.

The Poojer Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 I am so sorry to hear this. You have been very open about the struggles and I know how much it affected you. Stay strong. This past Friday afternoon, my son Danny lost a long battle with addiction. My heart has a gigantic hole in it that is only getting bigger as the hours go by. Danny was (as some of you that met him) a kind, funny and gregarious boy...he never lost those qualities. He tried to beat his demons over the past 6 years, and was temporarily successful for months at a time...once over a year! He never wanted that life and hated it, he never gave up...My family and I never gave up on him...we loved him so much. Friday I got the call that no parent ever wants to get. He will be coming home for the last time later this week. Not the homecoming We ever wanted. He was a life long rabid Bills fan. Proud to be a Bills fan. Wore his Bills colors in the heart of Dolphin territory...we texted each other all game long, shared the victories and the defeats...planned to come this this years tailgate. Now that's all gone. My plea to you is to have compassion for people in his position, they don't want to be there...they hate it, are ashamed of it...and sometimes just can't escape it. I miss my son and best buddy...I'd gladly change places with him, he was so young so much to live for. Please say a prayer for Danny to finally be at peace.
PO16FFS Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Stay Strong. These moments are never easy and the Bills Forum support you Nervous
wnyguy Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 My thoughts and prayers for you and your family. May you receive the peace that passes all understanding.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 I don't even have words to say. I can't say I've lost a loved one to addiction, but I've come pretty close plenty of times. I know the struggle of loving someone who struggles with it, and the feeling of total helplessness as you watch them spin out of control, clean up, and do it over again. I can only speak for myself, but it took me years to stop feeling guilt for something I didn't do. Prayers for you and your family.
kroupapga Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Thoughts and prayers ng. I look up to the hills, but where will my help really come from? My help will come from the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth. Psalms 121:1-2 ERV http://bible.com/406/psa.121.1-2.erv
AiO Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Oh Mark, there are no words I can give that can comfort you. Like GG and Guff said, I remember him from the early tailgates and I will always think of him as that sweet little boy. And I probably swore in front of him too. What I remember most is that you were (are) a loving and attentive dad. Love and prayers to you and the family. You know where to find me if you want to talk.
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Oh NG... I am so very, very sorry. From what I have gleaned from reading this board for many years, I sensed the hard struggle that was unduly bestowed upon Danny, you & family. Your son Danny, family & you have always been in our prayers and will continue to do so. I know there is not much I can say to you, being that we are almost complete strangers to each other. But, from what interaction we have had, you have always been a pillar of strength to me. Please know the positive influence you've instilled in us all. Please remain strong and know that your message was being paid close attention to & Danny remains forever in our thoughts & prayers. Thanks for teaching the world about compassion, understanding, and unconditional love.
GaryPinC Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 So sorry to hear about your tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. As a parent, it would be a horrible scenario to deal with, please try and stay strong. Your son was obviously a fighter and any parent would be proud of that.
BillsFanM.D. Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Prayers for you and your whole family. Your candor and expression of concern for others (especially right now) speaks to who you are as a person. God Bless!
Like A Mofo Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 NG my heart is heavy for you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss
BADOLBILZ Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 So sorry for your loss NG. I knew about your son from your posts and I'd hope that the awareness has made me more compassionate when dealing with those with substance addiction/abuse as an employer. Rest in peace, Danny.
dave mcbride Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 I'm terribly sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you.
BuffaloBud Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Prayers to you and your family NG. Godspeed Danny.
