still in my thoughts bro......R.I.P Dan (Spyder)

[#1SpiderFan]

Thanks Jose. Couldn't have said it better myself. Went over to the grave Sunday and damn it it seems like it just happened yesterday. But you said it, Spider will remain in our hearts forever.

[GrayGhost]

Indeed. RIP Danny aka Spider. A good friend and a class act..

Scott.

Thanks Ghost, I didn't know how to get a pic of him - I'm not good at importing stuff. Sure, I can type like 100 wpms so fast Dan always used to tease me about it when we im'd. You're right though, when I think of him I smile through my tears.

[JPerez]

i didn't post this to make anyone sad ... it has been 3 yrs and the heeling takes time. remember him for him, class act big smile and an fn nut.
so lets not remember the lost but remember his life... thats what this tread should be about...

Jose

No, it's cool Jose. People should remember him as they see fit. It's a personal issue. It was good you made the post. I came on to do it but you beat me to it!

[TamponTravis]

I really wish i got to meet him and see him live. Its always great to hear stories about him. R.I.P. Spider

Dan/Spider was a talented performer and a good guy. Back when I was writing stuff for the DOI he was the first person I approached for an interview, he gave a great one and couldn't have been nicer about it.

[GrayGhost]

Yeah, he was my first interview too on the hammer. Its still there in the column section along w the other 43. Ive had a long delay on the recent one, for various reasons, but hope to have it soon.

Ah well. things happen in life, very tragic ones that make you examine things you may believe in or whatever. But, Danny wouldn't want us to keep thinking of him w tears, he'd want only smiles or laughs.

If we should remember his life... what was his life like apart from wrestling?

Fun filled, just like any other 22 year old. Fun loving, full of zest and the dickens so to speak. Liked Bicardi 151, Rolling Rocks. Liked to pull ribs, great to his friends and fans. Hard working. Kind. Always smiling. In a word, he was THE BEST.

Yeah, and The Price is Right. And The Iron Chef. Bret Hart was one of his fav wrestlers. In fact 3 years ago we put one of Paulie's Bret Hart figurene's on his grave and it's still there today. This is a better way to remember him. Definetly. He liked Bob Barker alot lol. WOnder what he'd think of Drew Carey replacing him?

[BertY2B]

Defiantly a good friend and a class act of a person. We all miss Dan. He's in a good place that's for sure.

Never met him, but he was the guy I followed when I was first told to check out this board by some wrestlers. He was amazing and really loved what he was doing. His passion was bleeding though in everything he did in the ring and the way he treated fans. He was the perfect wrestling face because he did not have to act. He loved the fans and the wrestling and they knew it.

If he was still with us, he would have no doubt made a big name for himself after 3 years of refining his skills. Pity to see someone so talent be taken so soon. Moreso in the way he was taken.

Anyway, a lot of respect for Perez for making this thread. Very classy.

Couldn't have said it better. He was simply the best. Wish you had had the pleasure of meeting him. He was like one in a million.

Yes, well. I hope we can let Dan and the topic rest for now. Thx to all who mentioned the aniversary.
