David and Susan, I sincerely want to thank you. Dasan was the type of person that refused my handshake to go in for a hug. He’s the type of guy that would wait for you at the bottom of the slope to brag about how cool your jump was (it wasn’t even a jump), while the whole time he was actually doing way cooler stuff, but he didn’t need the acknowledgement. It was impossible to be around him without smiling. It would be months, sometimes years, between seeing him, and he always had that presence that made me feel comfortable and eager to share some life with him. He would play pick-up games like we were in the 7th game of the NBA finals, and you could feel that intensity in how he lived. His heart was big, his love was palpable, and his happiness was always shared. Dasan was a type of friend that everyone is looking for, but it’s so rare to find. So, I wanted to make sure to thank you both for helping shape him into the person he was and for sharing him with the rest of us. I have always enjoyed my time with your family, and I will continue to enjoy those memories with Dasan.
Thank you McNerney Family,
Bobby Rech
