It is with a heavy heart that I write this note as Dan will be missed. I have fond and memorable times with Dan, from many places, Essexville schools, Metro Skate, Mc Donald's and hanging out on the strip, and at Super Chevy Drag Racing, and spending many a day and night in his dad's garage working on his Camaro and 57 Chevy.
No matter what we always had a blast, and worked hard and played just as hard.
Open the Gate for me when I get there brother !

Awwww MAN! Dan and his family were our neighbors - between us and his parents. No matter where we ran into each other, he hugged me like a brother! A genuine smile and a special soul. We will be out of state on the date of the memorial. Peace ~
