Dana S. Ries

We will be forever grateful for the tremendous support Dana gave our dad after our mother died. Dana was a fine man and a great friend to Dad. His passing leaves an emptiness in our hearts.

I am still thinking of all of you and the loss of Dana. I am sure it is still a difficult time but want you to know I am thinking of you.

Dana, a.k.a. Smoot.
He was a terrific guy. The best of company, smiling, laughing and quick with a joke or work of encouragement. He was the best at everything. A terrific team mate.

Dana was a hard worker, but he always made time to help someone who needed it. He enjoyed life surrounded by nature and friends. He loved the man's world of hunting, fishing, boating, hiking, camping, and sports. His philosophy seemed to be that life was meant to be lived. His family was really important, and he enjoyed thinking of Zane in his life and teaching him how to enjoy the world around him. Dana always looked for the positive things. This was especially true of people. Life is too...

I'm a client of Trugreen and will never forget how much he helped us when he helped us realize what was killing our trees. He was so knowledgeable. He identified a problem that no one else did. He was such a kind person and I immediately felt a warmeth from his great personality. I called Trugreen weeks ago to see if Dana was available, but he wasn't. Not knowing what was wrong I felt like I should pray for him and did. Now, I shall pray for the family. My mother passed away suddenly too, but...

ginny and I are so sad..Bobbie..we love you and dana..you were a part of our life, memories,,I think of those often............ D a n aaa,,,I miss you..jenny..

Dana was a very special kind of person. I realize one of the reasons is because he had a very special family. You are wonderful people. I told Dana once that I thought his mom and dad would be very proud of the man he had become. I hope all of you are as well. Thanks for being so considerate of me. May we all keep our good memories of Dana and the many ways in which he touched our lives. And don't forget to share them with Zane. I thought of him as such a blessing to me in my time of need,...

Bobbi & family,
You have our very deepest sympathy.
May your happy memories of Dana help you through the difficult times ahead.
