Not sure what to say?

Very sorry to hear of the loss of Dan. He will be missed by so many! My husband and I have enjoyed the pleasure of knowing he and Jonny throughout the years. Such beautiful, wonderful people! Dan was always a big help to us during the missionary Ridge fired. He will never be forgotten. JS.

Dan basically hired me at the LaPlata County Sheriff´s office. We stayed friends after I retired. He and Jon stopped to visit us a couple of times while on a trip to visit family. A truly unique and wonderful individual. I´ll miss his beautiful photos and dry sense of humor. I made a donation to Wounded Warriors in his honor. Miss you Dan.

Dan and I grew up together as classmates. Dan will be remembered as a trustworthy, kind , mannerly, friend to many. RIP

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I didn´t have the pleasure of knowing Dan but I did know Jack. Sending thoughts and prayers.

My sympathizes. Jon I was in Rainbow with you. My memory of Dan was he came to Findlay once in a brand new cruiser. He stopped at the water treatment plant to see David and was going to take Dietschs ice cream back to Durango!!!!

A great guy. Lost touch after high school but fond memories from that time

Janice Grubb, classmate Findlay Ohio class of 67. An all around nice guy!

So sorry for this loss! Knew Danny as a child. We were neighbors and I off and on wondered where he lived. Many times to play together with him and his sister and brothers! Pennie (Johnston) Wells
