Prayer Request from Martin McSweeney for Danny Naten, Rest In Peace

This is from Martin. Please add his request to you prayers and let us pray for the repose of the soul of Danny Naten and for the comfort and strength of his wife, Beverly. Thank you and God bless you, Teri & Michael (see below)

 

 

Hi Friends,

 

Below is an email from my acting teacher, Fran Montano.  Yesterday we found out that another acting teacher/director/colleague Danny Naten, died suddenly yesterday morning.  He was only 52.  There was NO warning.  Just the day before he had bumped into my friend, David, and gave him a lift, and they had an uplifting little chat.  The night before he died, he taught an acting class. 

 

Please keep his wife, Beverly, in your prayers.  Our entire class is in shock.  He was an inspiring, compelling, and provocative coach to everyone he worked with.  He personally helped me break through some of my own blocks, and I'll be forever grateful. 

 

RIP  Danny Naten.

Dear actors and friends,

It is with a heavy heart and tremendous sadness to tell you that Danny Naten passed away today, Wednesday, Dec 5, 2012.  He suffered a stroke in the morning at his home and passed suddenly.  He had just taught class at AWS last night, Tuesday.

Danny was a special soul, beloved by those who have been touched by him.  We will remember his compassion, generosity, tenderness, kindness, devotion to the craft, and wonderful talent.  He was a true humanitarian and made a difference in so many lives. I was honored to have him teaching at AWS and to have worked with him.  He was an inspiration to so many people and his dedication to the craft, his fellow artists, friends, and life, will always be remembered.

 

Please put Danny in your prayers and hold a space in your hearts to his wife, Beverly.

Take care,

 

Fran

In Loving Memory
Almighty God, through the death of Your Son on the cross, You have overcome death for us. Through his burial and resurrection from the dead You have made the grave a holy place and restored us to eternal life. We pray for those who died believing in Jesus and are buried with him in the hope of rising again. God of the living and the dead, may those who faithfully believed in You on earth praise You for ever in the joy of heaven. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
