Daniel Byrd

Daniel Byrd met Jesus face to face April 23, 2021.

Dear Daniel,

There are people who leave footprints on this world that time can never erase—and you, Daniel, are one of them.

You had the most beautiful and infectious smile, the kind that lit up every room you walked into. It was impossible not to feel joy when you were near. You had a spirit that drew people in—a magnetic energy fueled by laughter, loyalty, and love.

Your family tells us that you truly excelled in everything you did—sports, academics, and anything you set your mind to. But it wasn’t just your talent that stood out—it was the way you carried yourself. Outgoing, driven, confident, and kind. And that sense of humor… your family describes you “as the one who had to make everyone around you laugh, the life of the party and the calm in the storm all at once.”

It is evident in the legacy you left that you loved fiercely—with a heart of gold that never turned its back on anyone. You stood by your family and friends with unwavering loyalty. If someone needed you, you showed up—no hesitation, no questions asked. You made sure no one felt alone, and you lifted others higher just by being yourself. You truly lived your life to the absolute fullest. No holding back. No regrets. Every moment with you felt bigger, brighter, more alive.”

Your impact continues in the lives you've touched, the stories we tell, and the memories that make us laugh and cry all at once. Your legacy is one of joy, courage, loyalty, and love—a legacy that will never fade.

Thank you, Daniel, for showing us how to live fully, love deeply, and laugh often. We carry you with us, always.

We can’t wait for our reunion in Heaven.

Until we meet again…

Daniel Byrd, you are loved and never forgotten.

Much love,

First Touch Family
