A Dedicated Firefighter and Family Man

He was more than his uniform. Behind the bravery was a humble man who believed in hard work, community, and kindness. As a skilled contractor, Danio used his talents to build and repair homes, never hesitating to take on a project if it meant helping someone else. His generosity was steady and quiet, spoken more through action than words.
