” I cannot believe that I’m typing this. My best friend. The idea of never being able to see you again is mind boggling and my head hasn’t stopped spinning since I got the call saying you’re gone. You were by my side thru my worst times and I was lucky enough to be there thru your best—I watched you grow and thrive in your sobriety and become someone we all were so proud of, but most importantly someone you were proud of. Watching you go from the halfway house to MHA and then becoming a proud father was so heartwarming and now…you’re gone. No more trips to target for toys for dax, no more teasing you about video games, no more late night phone calls were we took turns bitching about everything and anything. I don’t know how I’m going to live the rest of my life looking at my panda tattoo and knowing that you aren’t here with the other one anymore. I can only say im glad you went out like you wanted, on that god damn bike. Just wish it didnt have to happen so soon. Life isn’t fair. Watch out for bikers, they deserve to come home too.”
Kourtney Harris paid tribute by stating,
” When you lose your childhood best friend a chunk of you disappears forever like smoke through your fingers no matter how hard you try to grasp it. Daniel Curtin you were my first best friend at the age of 5 it only took me punching you in the face at the bus stop to be life long partners in crime. ALL of my youthful mistakes and lessons learned both good and bad we were together through it all. Our individual struggles brought us on our own paths but becoming parents and making something of ourselves brought us both immense pride in each other. Last thing I said to you not to long ago was “Look at us” and we simply laughed and I drove away. Make sure you hold your loved ones close and tell them how proud you are of them.”
