Daniel T. Booher

Prayers once again ascend for Dan's son and daughter as they remember this day of 2003.

If this refers to the Dan Booher to which I THINK it does, I have to second everything that I have read on these memorial pages. I had the privilege of being Dan's accompanist for his voice lessons at Southwestern Seminary back in "the Dark Ages". I have wondered a million times what ever became of him--I had moved East after seminary and have been there for most of my life since, and although we ran into each other a couple of times at Baptist music conferences and I had tried several times...

Dan is still one of the most important men I have ever met. He taught me so much about life, love, being true to yourself and most of all about being a person of integrity. It's been over a year now and I still find myself in situations that baffle me. And I find myself thinking, "What would Dan say?" or "If I were talking to Dan, would he be proud of the way I handled this situation?" I continue to miss him so much but he is still so ever present in my heart I know he is still a guiding...

Dan, I honor you, and wish you peace. I still trust and respect you more than any other human I have known.

Dan was my youth minister while I was in high school. Though it's been 20 years, his influence on my life is still very real. He was genuine and I thank God for the impact Dan had on my life. I'm grateful for his love for God and teenagers. His ministry lives on through me.

I can still remember the scared, angry, lonely, and broken kid that I was when I first met Dan. Never in my life did I expect for anyone like Dan to come into my life and have such an impact on me. I have never nor will I ever meet anyone again as gentle as he was. He was the safest, most warm-hearted, and compassionate man I have ever known. I truely thank God for giving me the opportunity to have known Dan. His hand in my life, has changed my world forever. He will be SO greatly missed. My...

Our deepest love and sympathy to the family and friends of Daniel Booher. He left a lasting legacy and a life well-lived in honor of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

It's hard to find the proper words for tribute... I knew Dan for more than five years, and he affected my life profoundly. He had an ability to lead me to the deepest wounded parts of myself, and guide me through the process of transforming them. His presence was unfailingly solid and loving, and he was willing to form true connection in a way that very few people will risk. I loved him deeply, and trusted and respected him more than any other person I have ever known.

My...

Every once in awhile there is a soul that walks the earth whose compassionate listening heals one's weary, hurting heart. Dan was one such person for me. Because of Dan I am now living my life instead of just dreaming about living it.
My deepest condolences to his family during this time of loss.
