• Danny was a big part of the Capitol Motosports family. He was an excellent motorcycle tech. He was reliable, a fast learner, and he could be trusted with very technical tasks. Danny built the best ice-tire in all of Manitoba. He was however, so much more than an employee. Countless hours were spent joking with the boys and talking about their passion; dirt bikes. Danny had a non-stop smile and fit right in everywhere he went. During any ride, Danny would stop what he was doing to help you with your bike. He was just that type of guy, genuinely one of the best. Danny was everyone’s riding buddy. He could be found on any given Sunday riding at one of his many favorite places surrounded by his favorite people. Danny was a good rider, getting better every day. He was enjoying his new Yamaha very much. Danny passed away doing what he loved. He really, really loved to ride. We think about Danny all the time. Dave, Nick, Matt and Jay, Rachel, Jeremy and Jessica miss his presence daily at Capitol. It is definitely not the same. But we take comfort in one thing: Danny’s time on this earth was short, but it was full. He lived his life the way he wanted to, gave us awesome memories, and reached for the sky. -The Capitol Motosports Family - Posted by: The Capitol Motosports Family () on: Jul 23, 2013

• When you walk into the back of Capitol Motorsports Danny was always "wrenching" on a bike and smiling. His smile was infectious!

• My first memory of Danny is from Kitchen Craft. He would always smile, nod, and say "hi" when we crossed paths even though we didn't know one another. So when he joined Norcraft I took him under my wing and showed him the ropes. We became friends. From hanging out to going to jiu jitsu class, Danny was always a pleasure to be around. Aside from being a "human encyclopedia", Danny had a heart of gold. Always willing to lend a helping hand. The world lost a good man. May you "ride in peace" my heartfelt condolences goes to his family especially Dan senior. I'm so sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Danny Rojas (friend) on: Jul 18, 2013

• My thoughts and prayers are with the Dueck family at this time. Danny was just a fantastic kid, always had a smile on his face, and was always really happy to be with his Dad on a dirt bike. I always looked forward to seeing him at Capitol, where he had a smile for everyone. RIP. - Posted by: ken Bentley (Friend of family) on: Jul 18, 2013

• I have known Danny since elementary school. He has always been a great person and a pleasure to be around. Danny had a strong passion for basically anything with an engine, I remember when we were dirt biking at the Grunthal track, I was driving my YZ 100 and I took a jump all I heard was you and Dan screaming with excitement on how high I jumped, Dan said I was the jump king, not too long after that Danny jumped higher and further than I ever could he was the new jump king. You're an amazing person Danny, you always helped me when I needed it. I will miss you lots. To Jane, Karen, Dan and family I'm very sorry for your loss.

• First met Danny when he was a student in my program; our relationship developed into a good friendship. Student taught the teacher when he 'schooled' me on the ice at St. Malo. If you were having a bad day, Danny's joy, smile, and optimism always made the bad go away. Motosport and everyone you touched will miss you. Thank you for being in our lives.

• On behalf of my Moto-Medic team, I extend heartfelt condolences to Danny's family, friends, and his team-mates at Capitol Motorsports. It's been said that the greatest risk in life is to not risk living. Danny risked living and, as a result, he really lived! In so doing, Danny and his family enriched the lives of everyone else associated with the awesome motocross race family. To all who mourn in these dreadful early days, I can only wish you PEACE.
