Daniel was born on November 11, 1983 at 8:14 am to Earl and Robin Hayes. He was a beautiful child. My mother was the first one (after me) to touch and see him. She followed Dr. Thorne right into the nursery to see my bouncing baby boy. As with any child, he grew up too fast. He loved his father so much and would follow him everywhere. His father would build trailers and Daniel would be right there with his "wow wow".  On his first day of school, both Earl and I were with him, and when they lined up, he came over to us. He thought he was supposed to go home with us. He loved school - got perfect attendance in kindergarten. Also, started gaining weight - loved school lunches. Fell in love with a little girl, Bethany.
