From Joe Singer:

Dear Denise,

I'm so, so sorry for your family's loss. I thought of Dana as a mentor and a friend whose passions and gifts I respected like no others. I can't adequately put into words how much loss I feel.

You and Dana have meant so much to me and if there is anything that I can do -- please let me know.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love to you all,

Joe

From Ben Calica:

Dana was a sweet and gentle man, with enough bravery to explore new ways of doing things for the love of them, not for the money.  I'm realy sorry to hear the news.  He will obviously never be forgotten.

From Chip Woerner

Tell me it ain't so.

I had no idea things had taken a turn for the worst. I'm at the same time in shock, heartbroken, upset, confused, and angry that a bright a shinning live would so needlessly be taken away.

Yet I'm also consoled by the fact that Dana was able to touch my life, and that of some many others as well. His love, memory and spirit lives on. I will think of him often. Dana, you were an inspiration to me. I will miss you.

From Jeff Hurn

Oh my heart is so heavy.

Dana's beautiful, fearless spirit meant so much to me. The soulful artist. The Puckish prankster.

I am grateful for every ray of happy light his impish smiles have shone on me. And I'll remember him with every twinkling eye I see.

Goodbye old friend. ---Jeff
