It is with heavy hearts that I let you all know that my dad (fazzaa) Daniel Riley passed away today Thursday March 23rd 2017 at 5:34pm. He passed peacefully in his sleep surrounded by his loving family. Words can’t properly describe the sense of loss that we all feel in our hearts right now. It has been a very long 5 years for all of us and my dad was an angel through it all. He lived each and every day with lots of grace, love, faith, and of course, humor. 
He was one of the most positive people I know right up til the end. The last time he was able to speak he told me that he was doing ‘excellent.’ He never complained. He fought so hard. He found beauty in every day, in every situation and in every moment. He traversed his life, and his illness with such grace. He made friends everywhere he went, and reached out and helped so many people (many of which were other cancer patients). It’s unbelievable how many people he helped despite his illness and left side disability. 
My dad was, and forever will be an inspiration to us all. I’m honored to have been able to call him my dearest friend and father.
Please also check out my dad’s blog, which was one of his main vessels for helping others! He wrote as often as he possibly could, and focused his posts on his life, faith, love, and happiness. http://www.justdannyspeaks.com 
Please feel free to share your favorite memories with my dad either in the comments for this post or directly on my dad’s Facebook wall. 

Thanks so much for your support, 

Love, Janet, Dan (Dj), Stacy, Becky, Rachael, and family
