Firefighters responded to the scene and took Danny to a local hospital. There, doctors pronounced him dead.
Sister Says There Is So Much More To Victim Than This “Senseless” Act
Speaking to Fox13, Danny Kaster’s sister Delca Describes the grief that has overcome their family. She also wanted to share that there is so much more to Danny than this tragic incident tells.
“We’ve been, thicker than thieves we’ve since we were kids,” his sister shared. “Danny was literally the person that would give you the shirt off of his back.”
Another relative, Aidan Kaster, said, “He’s funny. Told really great jokes. He always had a huge heart for animals.”
“We’re all still honestly in shock. He left for work on Friday. Now he’s never coming home,” Delca continued.
“This was a completely senseless act of violence. My brother was doing nothing wrong. He was not aggressive, not threatening, and not looking for trouble. He was just a man starting out his work day.”
“My brother was more than this tragedy,” Delca said. “He was a son, a brother, a loved one who mattered deeply to his family and friends. He had a life. Relationships, his dog Max, his prized possession truck, and a future that was stolen in an instant.”
