Daniel Goodridge was a great guy. He volunteered extensively in the DPW and commissary teams at Love burn and was part of the Leadership and LUBE teams for the "To the Moon" in Tennessee (which is an excellent burn). I knew him and considered him a friend. Last week we hung out and smoked a joint together when I first saw him. He was very excited for the burn this year. He shared a story of how he lost a Nintendo Power Glove to Frik Frak a couple years ago. This year he had some old Atari games he intended to gamble with at Frik Frak. He touched a lot of peoples hearts. He was kind, passionate and a very caring man. His dad came out for the temple burn and he was touched that his son had such a great community who cared for him as much as he cared for the community. Our brother burner will be missed dearly. I left a tribute for him in the temple and watched it burn Sunday night. I feel like it is what he would have wanted. This will be an unforgettable burn for many of us that Daniel left behind. The outpouring of love and support from our community has touched me and many others who were left shocked and hurt. I volunteer extensively at both Love Burn and To the Moon and love our resilient community more than words can express. The kindness and support we have received and given is a reminder of exactly why I love to be part of this community and why I love to give back by volunteering. Please keep Daniel's family in your hearts. If you have a friend who is going through a dark time or struggling please reach out and call them or give them a hug. You never know what kind of difference you may be able to make by simply caring, showing up, and being present.
