Here is my Facebook post from August 9, 2019 in memory of my adult son, Daniel Capes, 36, who died on August 2, 2019.

Our son, Daniel Capes, chose soccer as his sport. We went to all of his matches. I remember one in particular where he had ten shots on goal. Here pictured with Jordan Capes, his younger brother; it is one of my favorite images of our son. Daniel, we miss you. We grieve your loss. You have left a hole in our lives which cannot be filled.

Here is my Facebook post of August 8, 2019, six days after my adult son, Daniel Capes died from a rare form of cancer on August 2, 2019.

 

Here is one of my favorite images of our son, Daniel Capes, when he was a wee lad. We were a baseball family, though he eventually chose soccer as his sport. The picture is vintage Daniel. We miss you, son. You leave a hole in our lives that cannot be filled. One day, we will all be together again.

Here is a Facebook post I wrote in honor of my son, Daniel Ryan Capes, who died on August 2, 2019. He was 36 years old when he died.  This post is dated August 7, 2019.

Our son, Daniel Capes, has always been a champion napper. He is able to catch a few winks anytime, anywhere. As you can see, he got an early start. It’s a skill I envy every time I climb aboard a plane. We miss you, my son, and always will. You leave a gap that will not be filled.

On August 2, 2019 my adult son, Daniel Ryan Capes, died after battling a rare form of cancer.  He was 36 years old. For that reason, I have not posted on this site.  While he became gravely ill and died, I focused on him and my family and did not spend any time with this site.  Instead, occasionally, I would post something on Facebook to help me process my grief. Over the next few weeks I will post here what I posted there.  In time, I will return to my thoughts on New Testament.

Here is my first post from August 4th, two days after he died:

I am the father of three boys. I will always be the father of three boys though one I no longer see. Two days ago my son, Daniel Capes, 36 years old. breathed his last and passed from this world to the next. He was a courageous warrior in his battle with cancer. He is my hero. I can’t tell you how proud his mom and I are of him. He’s pictured here (far left) with his brothers, mom and me last Christmas. He is also pictured with Jenel Capes , his wife of 13 years, and his son Tobias Alexander Capes , 4 years old. A service in celebration of his life will be held Saturday August 10th at Ecclesia Houston, 1100 Elder St. at 11 am.
