Sooo I was at the dealership sitting back thinking about how to grow my business when I got a phone call. It was one of the writers for the show Shark Tank!!!!! Can you believe it? I couldn't! Lol His name is Dan Gilliam 62yrs old. Now to be honest I signed up for the Daymond John workshop event but you know how those events go. Well this gentleman grabbed my profile and noticed my last name. Turns out he went to high school with the Fauntleroy's in NY and dated Jackie Fauntleroy. He had been looking for her for years! This man is a Biblical Scholar and his way with words were so poetic. He prayed for me and told me that it was meant for him to call ME! He had me in tears! At the dealership! I felt the spirit uplift me immediately... Lord I don't know what it is but this man left me with such strong a spiritual presence as if he were sitting right next to me.. he said he would be in touch. ..
I work for a company called Cellular Sales in New Smyrna Beach Florida. I had the great pleasure multiple times of meeting Dan. Dan would always come in to our location to pay his monthly bill. It seemed to amaze me as I have found very few individuals with such a great outlook on life. Well to say the least this describes Dan! From helping the youth or the communities he will be sorely missed. Now in company with the Lord. Dan looks down to us with his inspiration and huge smile. If I could only be half the man he was if be surely blessed. Thank you Dan! Sean Miron
Who could forget that infectious smile. So sorry for your loss. Looks like Danny made a huge impact on the world the short time he was here. May he rest in peace.

The memories of Danny are vast. When we were kids, he would always be the one to run up to me and ask for a bite of my popcicle. He would promise to take a small bite but would bite it in half and run away. Ultimately he ended up taking me to our Senior Prom! I will miss you Danny. Rest in Peace.
