We are blessed to have had you become family. He was someone you could depend on, make you laugh and brought the best out of everyone he knew. He became a second son and brother. He was respected and love by his fellow Marines and he loved them back; he never gave up on any of them. We love you, Danny. Your son, Daniel, is so much like you, and you'd be so proud of him. We keep you alive for him. You are surely missed! If only we had one more morent... Val "mOm"

I / we all love and miss you so much Danny. It's still so very hard. I hope you know what you meant to me.....my nephew, my little brother, my son and my friend. I'll never forget the things you did for me and the fun we had. Sarah misses her soldier.......this is too hard......RIP!!

He was the best and most inspiring marine I’ve ever had a privilege of leading me. Always listened and cared for his marines, and always took time after work to hang out with us around the barracks. He was a great person to be around and is greatly missed. Thanks for everything ssrgt, simper fi Cpl Derek Balaguer 1st battalion 9th Marines

I had the privilege of serving under SSGT. Dupre for over a year. He was more than just a Platoon Sergeant he was a true leader and always "put the boys first." The thing that sticks out most in my head is that he was always very approachable, always got the job done, and at the end of the day... was just one of the guys. A few qualities that every SNCO needs to take a lesson from. Until we meet again brother. God bless. Lcpl Cain Namet 1st Plt C.co 1/9

Danny loved celebrating this special day! The Marines state, “We won’t stand down until our mission is complete.” You never did, Danny! Never a day you aren't missed! Daniel is now 7 years old, and is learning about his Daddy's loves and experiences. He talks about you with such joy.

Danny P Dupre, you were the best sqd platoon you name it leader to me. you put all of us ahead of your needs , i miss you so damn much i was in a very bad state when you were killed and i still am as im writing this you were a true warrior and a best friend to me sometimes i wish it was me instead of you i love you brother you will never leave that place in my heart.

This fine young man was my son-in-law by law, but like my son. He was a Marine's Marine and he was so proud of his job, his kids that he served with and stood with honor in the Marine uniform! I and we were blessed to have him in our family. Not one day goes by without speaking of him, more often than not with a smile or a chuckle. Danny, your son talks of you all the time, and misses you terribly. He often tells his Nana, you did a dee ta dee. Sound familiar. I know you are there looking over him every minute of the day and we can see that in the silent moments of the day. We love and miss you so much. Hey, Danny, keep a look-out over Gavin until he is safely home from Iraq this summer. I love and miss you soooo much!

I went to High School with Danny and haven't seen him since but we did keep in touch, especially a lot right before his death. He talked about seeing his son and how he couldn't wait for Christmas. I took this news so much harder than I thought, and I still think about him all the time. When I get back to louisiana I will visit so I can finally get some closure and say goodbye. Love you my friend.

The death of a soldier will never go unnoticed. Danny's bravery will live on with his son and we will never forget the loving man that he was.
