Daniel John Blatt

A shining light has been dimmed…

On June 13, 2016, Daniel Blatt left this life and our hearts will never be the same.

Danny was born on May 2, 1987 in Taegu, South Korea. At 3 ½ months old, he joined his father and I at Detroit International Airport and our lives were forever changed.

He was a beautiful, intelligent, funny and a musically gifted young man. He brought such joy and laughter to everyone who knew him, and was loved by many.  He was happiest playing guitar, singing with his bandmates in Carina and performing at local bars.

Danny’s memory will be etched forever on the hearts of his mother and father, Margie and Rick; his sister, Lauren; Aunt Ollie and Uncle Chris; his grandmother, Irene Blatt; Uncle Tom; all of his aunts, uncles, cousins and all who knew and loved him.

                “If I could call your phone today,

                  I’d risk it all just to hear you say,

                  I miss your songs; I miss your face…”

                                “Separate” by Carina (written by Dan Blatt)
