We are so sorry for your loss. He sounds like he touched many people's lives and was loved by all who knew him. We both wish we had the pleasure of meeting this young man. They say God has a plan for everything, but it's hard to understand what plan He has when we must bury a child or grandchild.
Be strong and hug your other children and grandkids even tighter.

My condolences to the family of Mr Dana Louis Piatt....at this difficult time take comfort in the words of our Lord Jesus in John 5:25-29, ".... the hour is coming when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God....and come out to a resurrection of life." What a wonderful hope that will be realized very soon.

I am so saddened to hear about Danas passing. I knew him in high school. He was such a sweet, and friendly person. We went to Central Campus as well together. He attended Aviation, and I went to the Animal Science. Our classes were not at central, so we rode the bus together to our respected classes. The bus would drop him off at the airport, and we would continue to our class. He was such a smart, and funny guy! Always did so well in school. I will always remember his kind heart, and spirit. We lost contact after high school, and I moved to Arizona. He was the kind of guy you wanted to be friends with in high school! I send my condolences to his family, and son. This world lost a gentle soul.

You were a major blessing in many lives, mine included. To say that you are going to be missed is a serious understatement. Your family, friends, all that you have touched in one way or the other, will always have a piece missing.
Prayers and condolences sent for his family. Hugs.

Dana you touched our lives. You will be greatly missed. The sparkle in your soul was a lot brighter than most I've seen. Your kindness for others and the acceptance you showed was noteworthy. You are beautiful on the outside and even more beautiful on the inside. That is a hard trait to come by. I am grateful that you are without pain and pray that your example saves many lives.That is your gift.
