Daniel Reese Edler was born on May 31, 2006 to David Reese and Crystal Dawn Deitrick Edler of Connell, WA. His three older sisters, Elizabeth Michelle, VeRena Jean, and Christa LeAnn were thrilled to welcome little Dan-Dan and were later joined by baby Emily Olivia. Daniel's Father is the only brother of four sisters and he couldn't stop smiling the day Daniel was born. Mama couldn't stop smiling either especially when she saw how happy Dan-Dan made Daddy. Family and friends asked if the doctor had made a mistake since Edlers don't have boys, but gladly shared in their joy. Daniel started out as his Mama's boy and was not very interested in leaving her side. But soon he was "driving" and taking many naps on "his" John Deere tractor and combine, or whatever other piece of equipment Daddy liked to ride. He wanted to be just like his Dad and to be about his father's business of farming. He would cry when Daddy would leave him at home or when it was time to get off the John Deere. He loves animals especially his dog Duchess and his moo-cows. Daniel liked to play with his family too. In the winter they snowmobiled in the mountains and in the summer they played together at Silverwood theme park. His family enjoyed many trips to Baker City, Oregon to the train station and riding the train to Sumpter, Oregon with Grandma and Grandpa Deitrick. Grandpa Deitrick's love of trains inspired Daniel's love of Thomas the Train. Daniel's happy playful personality included loads of smiles and laughter. He loved to tease everyone. We can still hear his contagious laugh, see his constant smile and the blur from his happy bouncing run. Dan-Dan's sisters nurtured his feminine side and he loved to play dress-up with them. Daniel regularly insisted his Mama paint his toenails and fingernails in the same color his sisters selected, not the clear color she lovingly recommended. Occasionally, he could be found fighting with his sister 14-month-older and "best buddy" Christa over who got to wear the purple princess shoes. Daniel left his home on earth August 29, 2009 to return home to his Father in Heaven. With faith in our Heavenly Father's plan for Daniel and our family, we willingly place our son in the loving arms of his Heavenly Father. We know that He will continue to care for Daniel and sustain our family with His limitless love and mercy until we are reunited at our Lord and Savior's Second Coming. We love Him and we love him. Until we meet again at Jesus feet, Heavenly Father's loving arms will encircle all of His children both on earth and in Heaven. Daniel is survived by: his Dad and Mom, four sisters, Paternal Grandparents David Lowell and Maggie Jill Moon Edler of Connell, WA, Maternal Grandparents Gary Gene and Bonnie Jean Nash Deitrick of Jerome, ID; Great Grandparents Philip and Marjorie Ellen Moon Krigbaum of Connell, WA and Linda Lou Howell Deitrick of Filer, ID.
