* R.I.P. Danny Teatsel Feb. 14, 1984 - November 11, 2003 *

...where do I even begin to start...today was going bad from the very very very begining. This is a warning to anyone that may read on...what I am about to post contains some very tragic events, reader beware. I'll start with this morning, 8:30 AM...I was awaken by a phone call from Susan, her car was dead and she needed me to come give her a jump. As tiered as I was, I still got up to go give her the jump. Later, she called me in at noon to work durring lunch since our crew at checkers has been becoming thin lately. I went in and amoung other things, I worked the shift. I'm not going to bore you with details, so I'll jump to the end of the night...From here, I am going to stop with me and do a third person about my step-bro Daniel

Daniel knew Danny and his ex-girlfriend were having trouble. Dispite the fact this had happened several times before, Daniel ignored the threats Danny made about killing himself or someone else because no one ever really believes it when someones says that. After a while, everyone started to get worried about him because he did say he was going to hang himself, but he said he wasn't going to so no one thought there was a big worry. Daniel left to go find Danny with his girlfriend and others. After about 40 minutes or so of searching, they found him. Danny had hung himself in his shed next to his house using a little kids truck. A neighbor helped him cut the rope as he held the barely lifeless body up to loosen the rope. He then performed CPR until paramedics arrived. After being rushed to the emergency room, Danny was pronounced dead in the early morning of November 11, 2003. Danny was only 19 years old and had a full life ahead of him. He worked for Yard Apes, a lawn care company that still mows our lawn. Danny will forever be missed and he will always be with us. We will miss you Danny...you took your life because you didn't want to be hurt by one person...now you left pain in all those who knew you. We will never be the same again.
