Dan Dixon Tempest

Dear Tempest Family I just read of Dan´s passing in Terry´s book. I did not know Dan and do not know the family....but I know viscerally the mindset so eloquently communicated in his texts to his sister. They are deeply familiar, as I too recently felt tugged down the same path. Somehow, despite my conviction to the contrary, I am still here. And at times I am now noticing that I am beginning to forget the depths of those isolated moments of despair. But tonight, as I lay outside in my...

Very sorry to read this. I was friends/neighbors with Dan and his wife, Thalo when they lived in Thousand Oaks, CA. I was trying to get back in touch with them.

It is May 2021 and I have just learned of his passing. I am saddened by this loss. I went to Highland Highschool with him and was always impressed by his skill on the football field and his sharp mind. I admired him from a far. I am a bit late, but I extend my sympathy to his family and friends. He always seemed to have a special light emanating from inside of him.

My younger brother Frank Mahler was a good friend of Dan's at Highland High. I remember that he spent a lot of time at the Tempest home on Laurelhurst. My brother died 17 years ago ...perhaps they are catching up on old times in a better place. My condolences to the Tempest family...

Dear Tempest Family - I grew up with Steve Tempest. We hung out together and served in the same mission. I knew Dan and Hank as well. They were all studs. The scales have tilted severely to the unfair side for the Tempest family. I can't think of anything meaningful to say however it is heartbreaking to contemplate the loss the family must be feeling.

Dear Tempest family - I am so sorry for your loss. I always looked up to Dan for his skill and talent. I remember when he ran for Office in Junior High as Dan the Million Dollar Man. He was that to all those who knew him. Please accept my deepest condolences. John C. Stringham
