Enlisting in the United States Army in 1989, he volunteered for airborne school and was assigned to The 3rd Battalion A Company, 75th Ranger Regiment. In 1989, Dan participated in the aerial invasion of Panama during "Operation Just Cause." During this course of military action against a determined enemy, Dan earned the highly coveted Combat Infantryman's Badge and the Armed Expeditionary Medal with an Arrowhead device. Dan later became a member of the Michigan National Guard while obtaining a degree in Business Management.

I was a classmate of Dan’s since elementary school. I don’t recall there was ever a time he wasn’t smiling, joking or sharing positive words of encouragement. He was a genuine human being who truly cared for the well being of others. My heart goes out to Kim and the rest of the Frazier family. May you find comfort in his love of life and family and all the memories you shared.

While our company only got to work with Dan for a short time, his industry knowledge was invaluable in helping us get the equipment to our customers. He was gregarious and we will miss him. We have planted a tree in Israel in his memory.

As Dan’s oldest male cousin I was honored to be a mentor for his post military career. It wasn’t necessary for long as he proved his corporate management acumen in short time, but I appreciated that he continued to keep me updated as he progressed with increasing levels of responsibility. About every three months we spent an hour on the phone and thought we solved the world’s problems, but mostly shared anecdotes about each other’s families. A particular memory included Uncle Mike sponsoring a Colorado elk hunt. Dan, myself, and cousin John Joined him for an extraordinary week in the great Rocky Mountains outdoors. Dan and me both brought home nice racks that grace the walls of our homes. A story side note, Dan was mentored by a proud Army Ranger uncle Ron during his military career and no doubt between Dan’s proud dad and the Brinker clan Dan developed a great skill for story telling. So for any of you who were fibbed to, Dan didn’t make a perfect 400 yd. shot on that 5 x 6 elk. Truth be told, he and I both found our bulls being fed on by bears. Just the same, thanks uncle Mike for a great hunt and Dan and John for a great time. Over the last few years I encouraged us to hunt again. Dan and I had hoped this year would be the next of many more years. Will miss you and those hour long conversations Dan. Thank you for your service and your friendship. You are a great American.
