  2. Daniel was a blessing to my sister and I. He was instrumental in our faith journey and gave us years of brotherly friendship. God bless him and his family and close friends. He blessed us while he was here on earth and I believe he will continue to bless us from his heavenly home with God, Our Father.

  5. Daniel ‘fought the good fight and he has won the race.’ His ministry, his friendship, and unselfish sacrifice touched hundreds of people and as one of them I just want to tell God ‘thank you’. His laughter and sincere prayer comforted so many patients. He was a messenger of hope and a reflection of the face of Christ.

  6. Daniel was one of the sweetest-natured people we have ever met. Completely kind, and hilariously funny, too. His courage during this last battle was inspirational. We miss him already, and we always will.

  8. My love and Christian sympathy are expressed to the family of Daniel Guerra. Daniel was an exceptional human being who gave much love and laughter to others. I only knew him for a short period of time, but all of this came through on our first meeting. He lived his life as a faithful servant of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and forever our live are better for his many gifts that he shared with us.

  9. I am very sad to here of Deacon Dan’s passing. I just discovered it while searching for his cd online. Deacon Dan did my wife and and my premarital counseling at St Clare of Assisi. That was almost 26 years ago.. I am very sad. I still remember some of what he said. And I still remember one of the lines from one of the few sermons he preached. I am still looking for his cd. He had a wonderful voice. Blessings to his family
