With a big grin on his face, he was always happy to give a fishing report. He will be missed by many, and always loved by the ones he touched in his short spectacular life. Daniel is survived by Diana, his loving wife of twenty five years, and sons Dustin, Derek and Drake. Mother and Father Kenneth and Margaret Burgett, brother Donnie (Sonya) Burgett, sister Shelley (John) Hendrick, and too many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles to count.
