Danny "Starrchild Wildchild".. My old friend.. My brother from another mother and now my beautiful Guardian Angel.. I drove past your house today and was instantly reminded of the last time I hung out with you there.. You grilled lunch for us and it was the first time trying whatever it was that you made and all I could say was that it was "different" when you asked, "So whatta ya think Vinni?!" In your ever so vibrant and excited tone that you had.. I just smiled as I drove by while thinking about that.. Man I'm so lucky and grateful that I had the opportunity to have you and your family in my life.. I learned a lot from you and Jay and your mom and dad always welcomed me with open arms.. I love you Danny and think about you often.. Especially when I hear a good drummer shred still broski.. Until we meet again Starrchild

Miss you my friend. You're heavy in my heart. Right now your brother is
blessing the Philippines with your ashes. You dreamed about moving there
and you finally did it man, by the grace (and on the shoulders) of your
brother! So awesome. So proud and thankful I had the chance to live and
laugh with you for so many years. Praise and thanks to Jesus Christ!!! that
your spirit lives on forever and we will be with you again. We celebrate
you often. God bless you Danny. Love and thanks to you Rudy and Donna for
raising the LEGEND that is Danny Starr — The fearless and righteous soul
who turned his friends into brothers, inspiring us and challenging us to
reach our full potential in all aspects of life. You’ve had a hand in
shaping many of our lives through your son. He brought us together and his
spirit holds us together to this day. I pray for the day that we will see
him in God’s Kingdom. Danny, you are everlasting my friend. God bless you.

We think about Danny often, and imagine that he has traveled the world in these last 6 years... We miss you and will always have you in our thoughts and prayers. Uncle Karl & Aunt Lynn

August 14, 2014

We wonder what Danny's life would have been if he stayed. Would he be a dad now or have his own business? As we continue to miss him, we remember that God says His plans are to give us a future and a hope. So Danny is living out God's better plan right now. I wish we could see it with our eyes, but our hearts can see it by faith. We will always love you, Danny.

I know you did and all of us you left behind also believe .

Danny, five years seems like such a long time. I wish I had spent more time with you on this side, but I know we will spend eternity together, along with all our loved ones in Christ. You were the brave, adventurous one, who took God's hand and went before us. As I say goodbye for now to other friends and relatives, it comforts me to know that you and others I love are waiting to welcome them in. I know you are enjoying the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and the beauty of the place He prepared for us. Time is just a human concept. See you soon.....

We can not enter the kingdom of God by our selves , we need forgiveness for eternal paradise . I am so proud of you and how you made a permanent impression with so many of your friends . I take comfort and peace in knowing that everyday with out you is a day closer to that glourious day our savior will bring our family and friends togeather for eternity .Love, your Mom,Jay, Panda Bear and your Pop's.

August 11, 2013

Danny has been asleep in Christ for 5 years and it's hard to believe. We miss him very much. I was reflecting on the early Christians view on death and found these passages comforting...Early Christians asked that the departed or "sleepers" as they called them, may receive forgiveness, life, rest and peace and that they may be one with God. To the faithful, the dead are more alive than the living...with this in mind, I offer the following prayers.
For Daniel James, who in baptism was given the pledge of eternal life, that he may now be admitted to the company of the saints...
Jesus Christ is risen from the dead and sits at the right hand of the Father, where He intercedes for His Church. Confident that God hears the voices of those who trust in the Lord Jesus, we join our prayers to His...
For Daniel who has fallen asleep in the hope of rising again, that he may see God face to face...
For the family and friends of Danny, that they may be consoled in their grief by the Lord, who wept at the death of His friend Lazarus.
The last passage of our Lord weeping for His friend Lazarus has always touched me because this is how much He cares about all of us that He cries with us when we cry in our grief. And He cries with those of us who have lost Danny. Love, Aunt Nanette, Uncle Mark, Jordan, Nathaniel and Sean

Rudy Starr

February 28, 2013

Danny ,I think of you each and everyday of my life I can't count the times I think of you everyday and I pray over you each day and will do so till our Lord Jesus call for me and at that precious moment we will dwell in the house of the Lord for eternity together no more separation. Today I was in Palos Hospital for test's exactly at the same time 33 years ago as you were being born . The thing that gives me comfort and peace is knowing that everyday with out you here at home is a day closer to being with you in our new heavenly home . Happy birthday my son, love your Pop's

August 24, 2012

Danny - your memory is still alive and you are thought of every day. We truly believe you are continuing your world travels, you are just viewing them from a different perspective. You will always be missed. Love you always - Uncle Karl & Aunt Lynn

August 18, 2012

Every day brings us closer to Heaven. When I sing praises to God, I can feel the presence of all our loved ones in Christ there. Danny, his grandparents, my parents, and so many other precious ones basking in God's glory. And we are all one in the Spirit. To quote a chorus from a song,
"Alive, Alive, look what Mercy's overcome, death has lost and Love has won!"

Danny its been 4 years now that you went to live with our savior Jesus Christ . I pray that the day will come when he calls each and every one of us that knew and loved you so much that he will bring us in to his presents . I pray every night that the Lord will let you know just how much we love and miss you . Still there isn't an hour that I don't think of you . Iam still so proud of you and will be to the day I die and then I will be with you again for ever . Love your Pops .

August 10, 2012

As the anniversary of Danny's death draws near, I think about him and how he loved to travel. He loved all things international - and right now the Olympics are going on just as they were 4 years ago. It's hard to think about and harder still because the Summer Olympics seems to be a strong reminder of that time.
Dan departed this world for THE WORLD - a much better one than we can imagine - and he's in it right now - of that I have no doubt. But not having him with us is still felt very keenly by his family members and he is missed by all who loved him dearly. Please God be with his family, especially his Mom, Dad and Brother during this hard time. Love, Aunt Nanette & Family

February 29, 2012

Danny, you left us for God's presence, but you left a legacy here. You were a man who stood in faith and loved and followed Jesus. I pray that the seeds of faith you left behind will grow like the mustard seed Jesus talked about.
Dear Lord Jesus, let there be many who Danny touched who will now reach out and touch You.
Until we all join you Danny, have a wonderful time looking into the face of God and sitting at His feet. This life is but a vapor and we'll see you soon. Love, cousin Rita

Your on the new c d cover and you are always mentioned at all the shows the Sons play .I pray every night that the day will come when we are all called home by Jesus Christ each and every one of us that new and loved you so much will be reunited in his presence .I ask the lord Jesus to tell you that we all miss and love you . Love your Pops .

Dear Danny: It's been 3 years since you left this world for heaven - the greatest of all journeys. It still amazes us and breaks our hearts that you're not here and you left this earth before we did. It's a loss we cannot grasp or understand. Our comfort is in knowing that you are with the Lord. You are also still here with us, but in a different way. I know that you watch over all of your family and you protect them with your love and the power of the Lord. Please send them a sign of your love today to comfort them in this great time of sorrow. Your cousins really miss you too. Love, Aunt Nanette

Danny, please continue to be a guardian angel to your family, and friends, who still miss you so very much. Ask God to give them the strength to make it through these hard days. I know you would only want their peace and happiness until you see them again.

Danny, three years ago today was the day that you lived your last day here . Tomorrow August 12th. you started a new life in paradise with our lord and savior Jesus Christ. I don't know what happen ,why you got there before the rest of us but by you being there gives us hope of reuniting with you some day and on that special day will be the start of a new and wonderful life forever . On that day joy will fill our hearts but till then our hearts do ache because of the absents of our loved one . I pray every night that the lord will hear my request that he lets you know in heaven just how much we do love and miss you so very much .I also pray that our Lord will bring peace to mom, Jason and Maria . I love and miss you so very much that there isn't an hour that you are not in my thoughts . Love , Your Pops .

Danny , its been two years since you went to be with our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Your brother Jason loves and misses you deeply and everything he does is in your honor especially with the band . Maria misses you also very much her life will never be the same with out you .So does your Mama and grandma Laschober and all your relatives and friends . I pray for Maria and for our family along with the Russo family.The one thing that gives me comfort and peace is that the Lord Jesus promised us is that who ever shall believe in him shall have eternal life in paradise and I know that you did Danny . You ran a little faster than the rest of us so you got to heave before we did so now you must wait as we come one by one .The first was Grandma Starr. We do not know who will be next.Danny thoughts of you occupy my mind everyday of my life and also will not be complete till I see you face to face in heaven . Love and miss you so very much your Dad/ Pops .

The sorrow of the faithful
is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness
that comes in saying good-bye for now
to someone we love.
May today's sorrow give way
to the peace and
comfort of God's love.
, Ted, Adriana, Sadie and Isabela
