I loved you so very much….♥️💫
I knew Dan for two decades. He was one of the most optimistic people I have met. He often started a conversation with an invention idea. His love for Yvonne showed through in his smile when we had family get togethers. Take it easy, Dan.
Love You Dan sorry to hear may heaven give peace
Danny was such a great guy to know. He always had something interesting to say and add to the moment. He had a heart of pure gold and will be missed.
My condolences to the Shultz family, even though I never met Danny personally I felt like I knew him as I had heard so much about him. RIP Danny. 😇
Well my friend….. Words can’t express what I feel right now. Like I have stated u were more than just Danny the farrier you were Danny Thomas my friend. I will miss the random texts with no replies for days the random phone calls and the WHERE THE HECK IS DANNY NOW……. Texts I would send when I would be looking for u. Rest easy my dear friend thanks for the last 11ish years of laughter ,shenanigans and friendship u always brought a smile and good attitude with you and would rub off on me. You picked me up made me realize life isn’t that bad during a few times in the last few years. Hope ur looking down with that big smile on ur face and realize u will be missed by so many ppl. Thanks Danny Thomas

We'd like to extend deepest sympathy to Danny's family. We have been having Danny come here to trim our donkeys feet for years. He was the only person able to trim "Joey's" hooves. We called him the Donkey Whisperer. On his appts we would have a visit with Danny & his dogs/puppies. We will miss his visits & his expertise. Rest easy. A sad day 💔🙏
