Dan Koeman

On Oct. 29th when we light the "Deacon Dave Community Cross" it will have a Blue Light in it in memory of Dan. I will post pictures that evening on our Face book site for those interested. George.

Very sorry to find this info. I met Dan at a small lake North of Hornepayne Canada, think it was 2014. He was on his way to O Sullivan Lake West of Nakina. We shared some life stories, always thought we would talk again. My condolences to his family.

Loved this guy, he always had time to talk and was always on point with me. He was a pleasure to talk to and with, thanks Dan for your friendship.

I worked with Dan during his last few years at Blue Star Elementary School. I will never forget his energy and big hellos when I visited his classroom.

I recall one time he left the room while I was there working and while gone I told the kids that when he came back to stand up for him. I will never forget the big smile he gave when the kids like little soldiers stood up as a sign of respect when he entered the classroom.

He was one of the first teachers who welcomed me to...

I had Mr. Koeman as a teacher for both 3rd and 4th grade. His love of reading still sticks with me today. I have great memories of walking through the woods from my house to his and jumping on his trampoline. My thoughts and prayers are with you all in this time of loss.

Mr. Koeman was a favorite teacher of mine at Blue Star elementary. He lived his life with such conviction, loved teaching, and serving others. He knew he was truly blessed with the life God had given him. My thoughts are with his family in the tough time.

I am so sorry for your loss. I spent many hours over at the Koeman house growing up and Dan was always kind, patient and forgiving even when we did not do all the right things. I will not forget watching Red Wings playoff games together and Dan taking us to his school and opening up the gym so we could play basketball (like we needed even more of that - ha!). My thoughts and prayers are with you guys.

Dear Koeman Family, Our sincere sympathy to you all. Dan's death will certainly leave a huge hole here on earth. We have such fond memories of Dan/Gloria as Youth Leaders when Mark was in high school. And such great examples to us as individuals following God as well as a married couple. May you feel God's comfort and love as you journey the days and years ahead. And may all your memories give you joy when you reflect on them.
