Trying to pick out one memory to share about Uncle Danny is not an easy thing. We shared so many unforgettable times and moments together that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Most of all, I will remember how happy he would be when we would all come together for Christmas Eve. No matter how busy he was preparing to cook for the 25 insatiable Italians that were about to descend on his house, or how stressed he was about watching Big Blue play that night, as soon as we walked in the door that stress turned into a smile and a hug that wiped all the stress out of the room. That is what he loved. All of us together. That is when his smile was the brightest and his laugh was the loudest. I will never forget those nights and know we all will carry them on wishing he was there with us. It’s never easy to say goodbye to someone we love. Unfortunately, we all had to do that this week. Uncle Danny was a once in a lifetime husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend to so many. That is undeniably evident from the outpouring of love and support shown by all the people who came to celebrate him. We told stories, shared laughs, and capped it off exactly how he would have wanted, with a pint of Guinness at Lilly’s. I love you DT.

As hard as it is to be writing these words and to be losing such a loving and bright person, I can’t help but sit back and remember all the good times we all had with Uncle Danny. All the family gatherings, all the games of trump, all the little things that seem meaningless in the moment, is what my mind gravitates towards now. One in particular which was a reoccurring thing with DT, would be when we all would be watching the Giants and no matter the score, winning or losing the game, a small nothing play would happen for the Giants and immediately you would hear “That’s all, that’s all!”. And as many times as I’ve heard him say that I’d give anything to hear it just one more time. Keep on cheering up there DT. I love and miss you always Uncle Danny Thank you for all the laughs and memories.

Dear MaryJane and Family, Tom and I are thinking of you during this very sad and difficult time. Growing up with Danny, Tom has so many stories and memories of all of the great times they shared in grammar school and at Xaverian. He always said Danny was one of the most naturally gifted athletes he had ever played sports with over the years. I remember how much fun we had with you and Danny at Pete and Claudine’s wedding in St. John’s. Danny’s spirit will always live on in all of you, all of the stories that will be told, all of the photos that are shared, all of the lives that he touched, and in every single hug you give to your precious grandchildren. May you find courage and strength in the love of your family and friends, and comfort in all of the joyful memories. With heartfelt sympathy, Pam and Tom Jones

Uncle Danny taught me many things over the years. How to make caramelized onions with coke, take a lobster tail out of it shell and how to make the ultimate Bloody Mary. One of my most cherished memories with Uncle Danny was one of the many times he and Aunt MaryJane came to Virginia for a backyard barbecue. We all stayed up too late swapping stories and laughs all while indulging in what was probably too many cocktails. Uncle Danny was about to hit us all with the Irish goodbye but I caught him before he had the chance to sneak away. He silently called me over to him before anyone else could notice his departure and said “Me and you bloody’s and breakfast tomorrow morning” he gave me a hug goodnight and continued off to bed. Fast forward - I wake up the next morning, Pounding headache. But I remembered Uncle Danny and I made breakfast plans so I rush downstairs only to find he’s already gone. I immediately run to my mom and tell her she has to drive me to O’Sullivans Pub right at this very moment. I finally get there and as soon as I open the doors of that Pub I hear Uncle Danny turn around and say “You made it! I thought you were gonna leave me hanging!” Uncle Danny and I watched soccer, ate a classic Irish breakfast, drank bloody mary’s and created a memory I will never forget. Although his Irish goodbyes were usually flawless, I sure am glad I caught him in the act just that one time. I love you and I am going to miss you dearly. Love always, Your baby bumpkin.

I feel like I’ve known Danny just about my whole life. He has been apart of our family for as long as I can remember. It’s always been Maryjane & Danny. Danny was more of a brother than a brother-in-law. He was such a kind, compassionate, generous and loving person. His family; his mom, dad, and sisters became our family also. You could not find more loving and kind people than the Treacy family. Danny touched so many lives with such positivity, compassion and love. I remember when my twins were born on Christmas Eve and I missed my favorite night of the year with my family, Danny cooked me my own Christmas Eve meal when I came home from the hospital. He was such a thoughtful person. He will be missed terribly by those whose lives he touched. He will never be forgotten, because those that knew and loved him can carry him with them in their hearts wherever they go and in whatever they do. As long as we keep Danny in our hearts he will always be apart of us. Danny was a wonderful father to my nephews and a loving husband to my sister. He was always there for his family and loved them very much. He was so proud of his sons and the men they have become. He loved his granddaughters Cora and Elle. He finally had gotten his girls. You will be missed always, until we meet again.

Not being able to anticipate that this was coming is what makes this impossibly hard. I’ve had a theory about life which I’ve reflected on through the years: Life is all about waves. (Which considering how much my dad loves the pool and the ocean, is pretty fitting). Life consists of ups and downs. How you look at those ups and downs is what shapes who you are as a person. Life, though it gives you the guise of decision making & spontaneity, has moments (waves if you will) that are predetermined. Death is one such moment. I’ve used this theory to help me respond to the highs and lows of life. To prepare for what’s to come at varying ages. It has helped me remain composed and logical when facing whatever life throws my way. During this time, I have struggled to find relief with this mantra. You can prepare your mind and emotions knowing that the death of loved ones will one day come but once it does, all logic goes out the window. Composure can’t be kept. Immediately, your brain rabbit holes, seeking to understand more. Seeking to understand WHY. Why did this happen? Why Danny? Why Dad? Why my brother? Why my friend? Why me? Why us? Why now? Then the “what if” thoughts creep in, pushing you to want to change things you said or did. Forcing you to think about the things you didn’t say. Maybe forcing you to want to change the last memory shared together. For me, my “what if” is something simple. Something that on the surface is overwhelmingly positive. My Dad had a phrase he shared with me throughout my life: “You can do anything you set your mind to”. (He’d usually throw a “buddy” at the end of that sentence). He said this to me repeatedly growing up. Though it may be a cliché phrase to many, it wasn’t to me. It molded me. I embodied that phrase in all aspects of life - Through school, through any game I play, through my career; I think about it almost daily. I wish I had told my Dad how much that simple phrase has shaped who I have become today. Like the prototypical dad, he told me consistently how proud of me he was. Little does he know that this one phrase is what made me become the person I am today. The person he is proud of. I know to my core that simply telling him this would have made him feel invincible. Sadly, I only now fully realize that. It may feel like we are at the bottom of the wave but waves by nature keep moving forward. Moving forward is what we all must do because living in the lull of a wave where you feel sad, upset, guilty, remorseful, is not a world worth living in. I know my dad wouldn’t want that. He would want us to look forward and ride the wave upward again. To understand that death is a part of life, and to instead focus on cherishing the moments we have with those we hold dear. He would want us to do everything we can to love those, care for them and be there for them for the rest of their lives. No one knows when a wave will come down again. When it does, it’s not easy. Being able to look back and confidently say that you loved that person in every moment you had with them will make it that much easier to ride the wave back up. As I’m sure he is telling me and all of us now, “we can do anything we set our minds to.” In this moment, that is to be strong. Focus on remembering the good times. Remembering him as a young basketball phenom. Remembering him as a wild Brooklyn adolescent. Remembering him as the loving husband who fell in love as a 13 year old. For being the enforcer as a dad but also the pushover whenever we wanted something my mom wouldn’t buy for us. Remembering him as a great chef who loved nothing more than cooking for as many people as we could fit in our backyard. He should be remembered for how strong he was battling through bizarre health issues that many wouldn’t be able to fathom going through. Remembering him as the silly grandpa to his princess Cora and Baby Elle. As the friend who can be relied on in any moment through any situation at any age. A man where loyalty and respect meant everything. A die hard giants fan, islander fan, Celtics fan. As the man who did everything he could to put his three sons on an excellent life path. Lives filled with loving partners and friends that we vow to cherish for the rest of our lives. The same way he cherished and respected the Matriarch of our family: my mom. I love you dad. I’m gonna do everything I can to continually make you proud.

I first met Danny in third grade. We grew up together playing every sport possible, basketball, football, baseball, stickball, street hockey, hallway hockey at Mark's house. Danny excelled in every sport he played. As good an athlete as he was he was a better person. Danny was a great and loyal friend to all who knew him and kind to everyone he came across. He had such charisma that people were drawn to him and he always made them feel special. I'll always remember Danny inviting me over his house for breakfast on weekends and his mom (a truly amazing woman) cooking for me. When I think back to my childhood and early adulthood almost all my best memories were shared with him. When I left New York we lost contact for a few years but I will always be grateful and thankful that we had the opportunity to reconnect. Danny you will be missed and will always be in my heart and on my mind. Maryjane, my deepest condolences to you and your family. You are and will continue to be in my family's prayers.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Danny's passing. I will always remember his jovial spirit and competitive heart. We attended Xaverian HS and were teammates all 4 years. Danny was many things in H.S.(LOL), but above all he was a loyal friend. You always knew he had your back. I would go to battle with him side by side any time. Extending my deepest condolences and prayers for comfort to Mary Jane and the entire Treacy family. Peace & Love, Shep Gerard Shepherd

This is truly shocking to me, and extremely sad. I remember the many bus trips we took together to and from school and the many Basket games we played together in High School. Danny could thread a needle with us passes and was as tough as anyone. I’m sorry we lost touch these many years and I’ll say a prayer for him and his family. Junior Echeandia

So many memories So much love So much laughter So much strength Given to so many, especially my family. Always at our house, always by our sides thru thick and thin, my mother adored you, you were my brother from another mother. Memories of me standing on the dining room chair and you pinning my jeans in between beers always puts a silly smile on my face. Or the argument in Vegas that I wanted to fly in the helicopter and you and Mark telling me I had three kids and needed to be responsible. I laugh now. Thank you for always looking out for me in so many ways and being my sounding board. You were my pillar when Mark died, there will never be enough words of appreciation. An amazing husband and father you are an inspiration to many. Continue to guide them from afar. The only comfort given is to know your Mom,Dad, and Mark were waiting at those pearly gates for you. You will always be a part of me, til we meet again

I know Danny since I was a little kid. I always looked up to him. He was a great athlete and a great person and I’m sure he got that way from his great father and mother and all of the crazy coaches we had in St. Vincent Ferrer that’s with a heavy heart to say goodbye to such a great guy I love Mary Jane in the Tracy family God bless

I may be sad today, but I am fortunate to have shared so many laughs and good times with Danny. Together with all of our friends from St. Vinny’s, NY Ave, to attending parties at his parents house and then getting together with our own families are special memories to me. He may be gone but will never be forgotten. Love ya Danny.

MJ and Family, it is with great sadness I just heard of DT's passing. My condolences to you and the boys. When I lived in the City & worked at Merrill, Danny was just a young pup, full of energy and love. We played bb together at the DAC and in his backyard pool in Brooklyn. Danny cared so much for you, MJ, and his boys, but he carried his love to even blessing people who sneezed on the subway! Just an amazing guy. I. was honored to be in your wedding party so many years and great memories ago, and honored to be his friend. All the Wazevich Family love to you. I am tearful hearing the news, but smiling remembering all the great times spend with him. Those that he touched in life have been very blessed and have lived a richer life for knowing him.

Dear friends and loved ones, let us gather 'round, For Danny, our dear friend, has left this earthly ground. He hailed from Brooklyn, but his heart was in the Emerald Isle, And his memory will live on, in all of us, for a while. Danny and Mary Jane, a childhood love that grew, Together we delivered papers and played ball too. St. Vincent Ferrer was our school, where we all met, And Danny was a shining star, never one to forget. With his mop of brown hair, and gentle soul so pure, Danny was a natural athlete, always ready for more. He excelled in school, and in friendship too, A good kid who looked after us all, through and through. His smile was like magic, and his energy contagious, As a leader, he inspired us all to be courageous. Danny, you'll be missed, but you'll live on in our hearts, As we sing this tribute, and bid you farewell, dear friend, and part. So here's to you, Danny Boy, may you rest in peace, And to Mary Jane, your devoted love, his love will never cease. We'll remember your kindness, your spirit, and your grace, And hold onto the memories, of your bright and shining face.

Danny was on of the most generous people I ever knew. He was always there for me growing up. I will always remember him sitting in the sun behind "the wall" with an extra eight pack of Bud and a bag of pretzel nuggets because he knew I would show up empty handed. Till we meet again.
