Tributes Memorial Page Established By- Kim and Sharon Cox In Honor Of Daniel Cox Daniel I don't know where to begin. You are our true hero, words cant express how much we miss you it is so hard to think about it, but you are always on our minds. You made us proud of how you served our country. I know that you are looking down on us all the time and seeing how proud all of are of you. Just wish that I could hold you in my arms and tell you how much we love you. We will never forget you Love Always Dad and Mom October 05, 2009 Uncle Ron Cox and Family On September 12, 2009 our hearts were broken by an untimely event that occured a half a world away in Afghanistan. Our family lost a great person on that day, Daniel Cox. Daniel was all things to all people. Daniel was that "special great grandson" to Grandpa Charles who appropriately gave Daniel his nickname "Boone". Like the man from Kentucky, Daniel Boone, our Daniel was also an explorer, a man who traveled to foreign lands in search of himself and freedom. Daniel or "Dan" as he was known in New York by his new friends, fellow soliders and his girlfriend Liza, was a loyal, well respected and caring person. Oh, how this boy from a small town in Kansas found his true love in the great State of New York. To Dan, Liza was his true soul mate, the one. Dan loved Liza with all his heart. Dan was her trusted partner, lover and true best friend. To my family, Daniel was a cousin, a nephew, he was that little boy that was destined to be a star someday. It could have been on the football field or the battle field, from Kansas to New York, from the United States to Afghanistan. On September 21, 2009, as our Lord wept, the family cried as we all tried to say "Good bye". For now, we give "Boone" to our God in heaven knowing that he is in good hands and will be watching over each of us until we meet again. Daniel is our hero, Daniel is your hero, Daniel is an American hero. People will sleep better tonight because of the brave, selfless acts of Daniel and the other men and women serving our Country and protecting our freedoms. Daniel, Thank you, God Bless you, We Love you. "You have climbed to glory" October 04, 2009 Liza Winans Dan, words can't even begin to describe how much I miss you. With each day that passes it makes it harder for me to get through. I feel as if my world crumbled above me and I am having the hardest time getting out. Baby you know that you will forever be my world. It was so nice to meet the rest of your family but so many of them told me that they were expecting to meet me at our wedding....and I wish that was true. Baby I can't even imagine my life without you and these past three weeks have been the hardest days of my life. Even though everyday I get up I try to tell myself that I am going to make it through that day...just for you. I know you hated when I was upset and I try so hard not to be, but I just miss you so much and I miss what we had. We had everything and it was just amazing....Dan you were an amazing person and you will forever live on in my heart. I will NEVER forget you and could NEVER forget all the times we had together. The list could go on! , but you were such a special person to me and you always will be. I just hate the thought of living my life without you....it was supposed to be us and in my heart it always will be. However, I now know you are safe...and that is all I ever wanted when you were over there. Somedays I just don't know how to get out of bed and face the day without you. It seems it is just harder and harder each day. Dan you know you were my life and I know you knew how much I loved you, that love hasn't changed and it won't change. I will always love you just as much as before. My life just feels like it is in pieces and I need you here to pick up all the pieces with me.... I still remember that last night talking to you....and your last words were "sweet dreams babe, I'll talk to you later".....so until later babe...I will always love you. I miss you so much Dan.... Sept 04, 2009 Patricia Smith To the family of Daniel my heart filled sympathy go out to you. He was with my cousin that got killed. My prayers and thoughts are with you. And I will always remember Daniel when I am thinking of my cousin. Your truly Patricia |
