My son died at 28 from pain drugs he received 80mg. from a doctor, two days later he was dead, I miss my only son! Had no idea that while he was laying on the bathroom floor, he would be dead in a matter of hours.

Daniel Trippi was a good frieand and person that I will forever miss. |
Dan was a brother to me. We both started working at the golf company the same day, and we both left the company together to sell home loans. Dan and I became partners and best friends. He taught me so much. He taught me lessons that his dad taught him, he taught me all about planes and all the places he'd been. He taught me about Nancy's pizza and all about everything that made him who he was. He loved his family. He taught me about business and true work ethic. Dan was the hardest worker I ever met. He had the most contagious laugh and a giant heart. I think of Dan every single day, and I tell my friends and family of the times we had together. I will be getting married soon and Dan would have been right by my side as my best man, I have planned a special toast to him. I am so sorry for his loss, I have never met ANYONE like Dan and doubt I ever will. |
I have not been on here for a long time but I think about you everyday, I have tribute to you on my car, wish all that have lost someone like I lost you Peace. |
Hey Dan missing more the holidays are here I can not help but wish you were here I feel so lost and alone with out you. Happy Holidays Daniel always in my heart never far from my thoughts. I will never forget you I only pray you did not forget me. |
So sorry to hear about this, I grew up with Daniel on Highway 47 in Bonne Terre Missouri, I lost track of him after they moved from Chicago, I actually went to Chicago with them and flew home, I had a ball with dan , miss you so much my man , I always wondered where you moved off to, so sorry to hear about this, I had a bout with the same stuff in 2006 jacob webb |
Hey Dan life has been crazy busy, but I never stop thinking of you and loving you. WE MISS YOU!!! More than you could ever know, wishing you were some how here again. Happy Thanksgiving Dan! |
In memory of my.beautiful boy Shae Schoenle gone to soon. He died of the disease of addiction. I will miss you my.middle baby

Daniel, I am sorry I haven't wrote sooner, I think of you numerous times everyday. Every time I see a young man or someone on a motorscooter I wish it was you! Love you and hope you have made some friends. Mom

Daniel, Miss you fan went on in dining room without provocation, figure it is you, love and miss you, am taking your aunt diane on cruise for her 66th B-day, wish us luck! Love you baby boy! All the love I wanted to give you I will give to the dog! Hope you have met friends on NOPE. |
Miss my baby boy! |
RIP Tripi. Your boys still think and talk about you in California. Thank you for everything you taught with business, life and people. |
Happy Thanksgiving to my baby boy! Wherever you are know I love and miss you! MOM |
Thinking of you today, thinking how much your mom misses you on this Thanksgiving day. All of us mothers miss our children who have been robbed from us. Tell my son Joe that I love him. |
Marie, I read what you said about your husband not liking the name Dustin, mine didn't like it either. That is why his legal name is Salvatore Dustin but from the moment he was born I always called him Dustin and since my family lives in Fl they all called him Dustin. BUT when he was in middle school he decided he wanted his friends to call him Sal. By the way I love the name Daniel and if my third was a girl I was considering Danielle. If you ever would like to communicate my e-mail is nancydemarco12@gmail.com. Afterall we truly understand the sorrow and pain and truly get it as others who have not been indoctrinated into this nightmare cannot. I pray our boys are all together in heaven, along with all the victims of accidental drug overdose, and will always be sending us their never-ending love until that glorious day when we'll all be reunited in a much better place. May God continue to hold your Daniel in the hollow of His Hand. Love, Nancy(Dustins' Ma) |
Daniel I miss you my only son, hope you have made friends on here, they have made it hard for me to get on here. I want to let you know you will always be in my heart no matter what anyone else does. Love you baby boy! |
Know that all of us who have children with you and Our Loving Father, that we pray for all those left behind in such sorrow. This life is but a blink of an eye, rest in peace, tell my son Joe we love him. |
My only son, wish you were here, think about you numerous times everyday. Love you and look forward to seeing you. I still have the napkin holder you made me in cub scouts. Love, Mom |

MARIE, Gina and I refer to each other as cemetery friends, that is where we first met on All Souls Day Our Lady Queen of Peace Cemetery has an outside Mass on All Souls Day every year and both our young boys are laid at rest there. My Heart goes out to you and your family for as you know I feel the same excruciating pain, anguish and most of all WHY? The truth is we may never be able to know for sure WHY especially during our time here on Earth. After searching the ideas of many authors on life after death the one that touches my heart and soul deeply is"To understand that death does not exist, that death is only a transition to a different form of living:taken from Elisabeth KUBLER-ROSS' I,myself choose to believe that God has called our boys and they have returned home to GOD where they are surrounded by more love than we csn ever imagine and are with those whom they loved and loved them who have gone before them. I also choose to belive that spiritually they surround us with their LOVE for just as love caanot be seen it cannot die. A famous author Brian Weiss phd psychiatry Yale Univ wrote a book titled ONLY LOVE IS REAL he is a New York Times best seller author. Is there any stronger bond of love than that between mother and child! We are still connected though not in the physical sense which would be my deepest desire but through the cord of love which unlike the umbilical cord which had to be severed to give them life the cord of love upon their birh into their next form of existence which awais us all is never ever severed since LOVE is eternal transcends this life to the next where our children are safe happy and free of pain and most of all continuing to love us and show us their love if we can be still and recognize the "SIGNS"!. they send to show their never ending love for us and to say "Hello again" rather than to say "Good-by" AS WAS BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED IN THE BOOK BY ALLISON DuBois"WE ARE THEIR HEAVEN" Until I can be reunited with DUSTINs' Strong sweet embrace THIS is not nearly enough or what I want or need but for now I have no choice to accept THEIR UNFATHOMABLE FATE and hopefully in some small way we can help each other find our footing and try to keep our balance with the only ones who could understnd our pain . We can somehow reach out to each other and in some small way we can learn to once again function in our diarranged world. I am grateful to Karen Perry nd all those who dedicate their time, energy and love to NOPE through NOPE I have been graced with joining others in this foreign land where a mother buries her child for only after being indoctrinated into this unimaginable nightmare can you speak and understand the language now necessary for your survival and to do the work God has chosen us to do I am sending my Dusty my wishes to give your Daniel BIG Mommy hugs to you to somehow etherically you will knowingly feel HIS LOVING PRESENCE WITH YOU IN YOUR HEART OF HEARTS.With mech love smpathy and understanding Salvatore Dustrin DeMarcos' Mom Nancy. |
Hello Daniel,
Have you met my son Matthew yet? He joined you on 8/31/09. I hope you were there to meet him and explain why he was there. We miss you all and probably will never understand why you are gone. It is so unreal, this doesn't happen to us, to you. God Bless you and Matthew, hope you are great friends
Matthews Mom Tammy |
A candle for Daniel. Iam going to Nope later today. I will tell them they can give you my number or e-mail if you would like to contact me. I will pray that God will bless and comfort you.

Daniel, You have not taken Maryha, she is having hard time, wish you would take her. It has almost been 2 years since you died, I miss you so much, you should not have left your mom. Love, Mom xx00 |
Daniel, Maryha has been having a hard time for a long time now, but you have not come and wrapped her in your arms. Please take her, I am having a hard time putting her down, can't do it. Last night was very bad, I don't think there is anyone out there, because if you were you would take Maryha. Mom |

Daniel, I don't want you to rest in peace. I want you to be active and help others, I miss you terribly and want you back. It feels like someone ripped my guts out and it was you. You were part of me that is gone,I'm having a hard time, did you commit suicide? Please come to me in a dream, miss you dolly. |
I wanted to thank you for the beautiful tribute you left for my daughter, Mehgen. I am so sorry for your loss. Daniel sounds like a wonderful young man. We will all be reunited with our kids someday.

Dear Daniel, Desiree has left a tribute for you, I hope she tells your other friends in Calif. so they can light a candle for you! As to Desiree, Daniel died in my condo, two days after getting drugs and job. I just got him back 3 weeks before. Thank you for writing Desiree, I'm sure Danny appreciates it. |
May you rest in a glorious peace and may you have seen the face of God. |
So I'm cleaning my cds and i found a note from dan. " Hey dezzy baby, hit me up! Call me" I never called him back and I moved. I started searching on google and this popped up. I am so sad and truly missing a friend. We were next door neighbors in oceanside,ca . We had a blast, he was so much fun. I really can't believe that he overdosed. This is crazy!!!! Can anyone let me know where he was when this happened? I hope he moved to the east to be with his family. God Bless you Tripi. You will be missed. |

Marie, I feel your sadness and your pain, everyday. It has been 1,035 days since I lost my son, Jeremy, and the pain is just the same. I have to say that if it was not for NOPE, I honestly believe I would not be here today. I am conflicted because I want to always remember and feel the pain, but I also want the pain to lessen just so I can breathe. I was at the candlelight vigil this past Thursday in West Palm Beach, and I have to say, that it does help to know that we are not alone. I wish for you and your family to feel the love and comfort from all of the families with children and loved ones in these memorials ~ especially mine. With my deepest sympathy and compassion! |

Dear Marie, thank you for lighting a candle for my beloved son, Philip. I hope your son Daniel and my son Philip are friends in heaven now. My son was a gentle young man, hard working and studious. When he set out to do something he always followed through. One night of concerts and a mix of pain killer, anxiety meds and alcohol took him away in his sleep, at home. We were in total shock and disbelief. All it takes is one time and they are gone, taken away from their families and loved ones. I pray they are now at peace and that one day we'll all be reunited with them. My heart goes out to you Marie and your family. God bless. |
Daniel, I just talked to Donnie, that would like to take care of your cars. I hope Dad gives them to him so they are taken care of. I hope you are having fun on nope. |
Wish you were still with us Daniel we need you. |

Daniel, I have been trying to contact your friends in California. Tried to leave a message at Cambridge home loans where you worked but the message would not go through. I would like them to see your memorial and maybe light a candle for you. Hope Reilly and Aaron see your memorial and light a candle for you and all the other's. Love you much. |

Miss you my son. I wish you love, happiness, and all that you where meant to be. You will always be in my heart. Take care of Dandy Lightfoot, I will take over once we meet again. I am so sorry for anything I did that hurt you, I didn't want to hurt you, love you! |
Daniel, I was thinking that you should be with all the animals we have had. Please take care of Tanya, Skipper, Bones, Almond the dogs, Buffy, Candy, Butterscotch, Thomas, Prissy our cats, also ride my horses, Dandy and Drifter, they better be in good shape when we meet up again. Also have a good time with people on this site, I think you could help alot. Love and miss you! This candle comes from my heart. So sorry I didn't raise you right, I did try. Love you my Daniel. |
Daniel was not only my son, he was also my best friend. I miss him more than words could ever say. Nothing will ever be the same with out his smiling face and laughter. Sleep well Dan The Man. |
I wish to thank Christen and Melody for looking at my son's memorial, I still wondering why this happened to all these young people, the stigma is strong, but let's grow beyond the stigma to help others, so it doesn't happen to anyone else. I think people dying, should have these drugs, not young people, my son may of had pain from a twisted hip, but should not have been given these highly addictive drugs that you can not live without once you have used them. Let's keep these drugs for the people in pain, on the brink of death, my son was healthy, when paramedic's were working on him, he still looked alive. I wish I would have looked at him in hospital when they pronounced him dead. Please looked at a loved one once pronounced dead, so you believe it. I saw my son at the funeral home, handsome, very white, in clothes I had just bought for his new job. I just want Daniel to know I will always remember your smile and your eyes, mischeavios and happy!
|
You are missed dearly Dan. |

What a killer smile!!! I wish I could have gotten to meet him. He sounds like a wonderful person. Best wishes. Healing hugs.. |
Daniel, my only son. I wish you happiness. Your sister is driving your cadillac, I think that would make you happy, that you are helping her. If dad sells one of your cars, it would help Crystal buy a house, hope he does. I can't believe your dad hasn't left a memorial for his only son. I hope you have met other people on this site. You will never be forgotten, MISS YOU! |
May God keep hime safe from harm now. I will pray for you and your family. |
A donation was made for the NOPE Task Force in loving memory of Daniel Tripi |
It is so sad that someone so special can be taken so young. I only knew Daniel through others but knew from their words that he was loved and will be missed. So sad. |
Miss you my only son and hope you are helping others. I will never meet anyone like you again, how sorry for the world. You were one in a million. Love, Mom |

My only son, how I miss you, you are my angel now. Hope you help you dad and sister's and all the people that have died as you have. You have made me more aware of the other side. I can't believe that God would punish you. You will always remain in my heart. Love, Mom |

Danny is truley missed by his entire family!
Love,
Travis (cousin) & Jennifer Thompson |
I have left messages that have not shown up, I want to thank everyone who has left a message for my son.... He was a bright spirit. Miss you Daniel. LOVE, Mom |
People always talk about some one being one in a million, but Daniel was one in a life time. A smile that could warm any heart and clear any sky. BIG brown eyes that shine with hope , love , laughter , and life. They spakled brighter than any star in the sky. I miss him and how everything no matter what seemed to have hope. I miss talking with him about everything and nothing all at once. What kills me is the could have, would have , should have been. I will never be Aunt Chris, I will never have a birthday that is as happy my fav. part was his call. Hey Chris happy birthday! I could hear his warmth and smile. The fact that sooner than later I will be older than my brother. I only hope that people learn and grow. It not always some one else. It could be you too. Daniel was very smart, loving, gentle, charming, and a wonderful person. He was the best friend anyone could have and always helped when needed. He wanted to take care of everyone except himself. I have cried oceans of tears. The pain remains the same. Time doesn't heal all wounds. So if you or some you know is hook on drugs get help if not for your self for the people who love you . Sweet dreams Daniel. Forever in my heart.. |
I will take good care of the horn on your Dodge Demon uncle Dan. I love you! |
What a sad end for a beautiful man.What a smile. I wish I could have meet him. I will pray for your family. Remeber the good times as hard as it seems. It seems that what he would want. God bless you & your family. |
I would like to thank everyone who has looked at Daniel's memorial, it meant a lot to me. I would also like to thank, NOPE. |
I never met daniel but I know the family well. I wish this never happened to such a great guy. I wish his family did not have to go throu such pain. You will be in my prayers. God bless you. Sleep well DAN THE MAN!!! And maybe bang your head a little! LOL |
Nobody but me knows what my son looked like right before he died. He could have been a movie star. We bought him food, clothes, and cut his hair, he had lost weight and was supposed to start a new job on Monday. I think he would have done great, very personable. But he died on Saturday, after going to a doctor on Thursday, same day he got the job. No one knows how cute my son was at 18 months old playing in the spinkler naked, with a huge smile on his face. He picked the spinkler up and pointed at me and said,"I'm going to get you Mom! I will always remember the cheerful, full of life young man he was, please say a prayer for all families that have lost a child in this way, I know I will. I hope all our kids are having a party up in heaven. They are our angels. |

I mourn with his mom, my WONDERFUL MASSAGE, Marie Tripi. She relieves my pain from fibromyalgia but I am so sad that I cannot relieve her devasting pain over the lose of her wonderful son.
It is so devasting to so many families over the loss of loved ones by overdoes of prescription drugs handed out so freely by our medical professionals.
We need a national medical registry NOW to prevent these unnecessary and tragic deaths. Please make a plea now to your local officials to push these laws through NOW! |
This candle is for the son of my wonderful friend and massage therapist, Marie Tripi. May her handsome son rest in peace. I pray with her for an end to these unnecessary and tragic deaths with stricter laws and a national health registry on EVERYONE. |
I only knew Daniel from what I heard from his mother, my WONDERFUL MASSAGE THERAPIST, Marie Tripi.
His passing has devasted this wonderful woman who has been a blessing in my life... as I suffer from pain of fibromyalgia.
I feel her pain more than my own as I mourn over the passing of her wonderful son who was given these pills so freely. I hope the pain clinics and doctors are monitored very strictly by our health administrators because we are losing so many addicted loved ones. A national health registry on everyone has to be enforced immediately. |
I never met Daniel but I can tell that he was a great man and that his family loved him dearly. I wish healing upon all of Daniel's loved ones. |
In loving memory |
I love my son,can't believe he's gone. Hope he is parting with all the other people that died like he did. Miss you Daniel! Mom |
I miss my son and was hoping more people would leave a tribute. |
A candle that burns the both ends will not last night but oh my foes and all my friends it gives such a lovely light...
This part of the poem reminds me of Daniel. He was a beautiful person inside and out. I will miss him till the day I die. I LOVE YOU DAN THE MAN!!! |
We miss you Daniel |
I miss my son, I only had him for 3 weeks and then he died, I never thought that would be the outcome, but he is dead. Really messed up my life. I would like to die and be with him. |
Daniel Tripi was my nephew with everything to live for but somehow he got involved with pain killers that killed him. We all miss Danny, his smile, and his happy-go-lucky nature. His death has affected our whole family and made us more aware of the dangers of prescription drugs. Every opportunity I get I pass the word on the dangers of prescription drugs. Please light a candle for our Daniel. |
My uncle was the best. I wish he was here to give me a BIG hug. He gave the best hugs and he always knew how to make me smile. |
I only knew Daniel for short time and I wish he would have gotten some help because he was a wonderful person and had so much energy and love for life the only thing that went wrong was the addiction to drugs we miss him and hope that other young people will get off the drugs and get help. |
