Daniel Lynn Akers

I did not know Dan that well but we would always speak when we would see each other at the gym or around town. He seemed like such a nice young man with a warm smile and bright future. I just found out today of Dan's accident and passing and I'm so sorry for your loss.
As the days and weeks pass and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
May God Bless....

Dan,

It has been a few days and I now have the courage to write something. We shared so many memories I dont even know where to start. The Pizza eating at Pizza Inn, the late night nintendo games when we were little. As we got older you inspired me to do a lot of things. Your the one that got me into the gym in 1997, you taught me how to be a better and more compassionate person, I owe a lot of things in life to you. It would take me 3 hours to type all of it out and the thing...

Dan, you were the younger brother I never had. I will never forget the times we had as kids playing basketball in the driveway so late that we had to cut the floodlights on. I will never forget the laughs we had on the way to school in the morning. I will never forget your competitive spirit and willingness to not only win but be the best. I will never forget your great since of humor on the local radio talk shows. Most important I will never forget the love and compassion you showed to...

I met Dan about 6 years ago in Vitamin World. We became friends through the phone, at the gym and a couple dates. Dan was a special man with a passion for other beings that could hardly be contained. I remember one of my first conversations with Dan was around the winter months and I had mentioned how it was getting cold..he said he didn't enjoy it because all he could think about was all the neglected animals that are outside with no shelter. What a heart of gold!
Dan had the silliest...

Phil,
I'm very sorry to hear of Dan's passing.

I met Dan last year during a tough two weeks that we had to share together. He was known jokingly as "Drago" to us that shared that time with him. He was a stand-up guy who loved life and was full of ambition. I was devastated to hear the news of his passing. I know he is singing those praise songs that we all sang together that October night to our Lord and Savior as we speak. Miss you Dan.
