Though we have never met I knew Dane when he worked at LSI Logic in the shipping and recieving department.. We were work out buddies always going to US Swim and fitness on our lunch breaks. Dane was always a delight to be around. From what i can recall he was never in a bad mood always upbeat... God bless you and the kids during these tough times.

Joanie,
I have never met a more sincere,caring,loving, kind soul that we knew as our friend Dane. Silly, Fumbling and "out to lunch" is how I will always remember him, but I loved all that was Dane and our hearts are broken. Know that you, Trev, and Madison are our family as Dane made us his. With Love and Respect

I was so sorry to hear the loss of Dane. I didn't know Dane that well, but anytime that I came in contact with him, whether it was at a UFC fight that Jeff was having at his house or our last roofing job he was always so kind and friendly to me.
