I knew Dane from 2003-2004, we were work partners at Kent Carrer Technical Center's Auto Collision School. We conversated on many occasions and talked of many things including joining the military and by all accounts were friends. We both had humorous and light-hearted natures and meshed well. I remember discussing the benefits of joining the Reserves considering both of my brothers at the time were active duty Army and Marine Corps. The truth is feel partially responsible for his decision to join, and ulitmately the outcome of it. I've never spoke a word, but being on active duty myself for the past 5 years, I feel obligated to at least tell his family and friends that I'm deeply sorry for your loss. He was a good man. I remember my heart sank when I saw his face on the T.V., and realized it was Dane, and what had happened. Our discussions on the merits of service was one of the first things that came to mind, along with the fun we had at KCTC. I know it's been years since it happened, but for what it's worth, I'm sorry Dane. God Bless you and your family, may you rest in peace brother.
They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

I know Dane Carver's Family. I use to go up to their house to sell some candy to them all the time when I was doing a fun raiser for my school. They always order from me. I remember him when I was younger because he use to walk around alot and was there at his parents house when I was doing my fun raiser for my school. He was a really sweet person. It so sad that is gone.

Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening,
into the house and gate of heaven,
to enter into that gate, and dwell in that house where there shall be
no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light;
no noise nor silence, but one equal music;
no fears nor hopes, but one equal possession;
no ends nor beginnings, but one equal eternity;
in the habitation of thy glory and dominion,
world without end. Amen.
He has proudly served his country.
Now, he proudly serves with angel's wings.
