Dan was a loving father, son, and brother, who never met a stranger. Dan was an inspiration to all who knew him with his positive attitude and determined Christian spirit. He was an active member at Lakewood Baptist Church. Having battled cancer for the past four years, Dan never questioned God and kept his faith until the very end.
He retired from the Army National Guard after 20 years of service after serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom. He was known to his many friends and fellow guardsmen as "Lt. Dan." He was employed by Jim Walter Resources (#7 Mine) at the time of his diagnosis. "Dan the man" loved riding his Harley and his race car. He enjoyed many days on the "lake" fishing and spending time with his family.
We love you, and we will see you again in heaven, Bro.
