There are some posts you never want to have to write, and this is one of them.
Many of us at the Auburn Police Department had the privilege of serving alongside Daniel during our time at the Winder Police Department. He was the kind of person whose presence was always felt. Whether it was his willingness to help, his genuine care for others, or simply the way he carried himself, Daniel made an impact on everyone who knew him.
He was one of the most caring, dedicated, and respectful officers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. More importantly, he was an even better person. His loss is deeply felt, and he will be missed by so many.
Please keep his wife, Danielle, his family, and our brothers and sisters at the Winder Police Department in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
Rest easy, Daniel. Thank you for your service, your friendship, and the difference you made in the lives of so many. You will never be forgotten.
