I guess we never thought anything could stop Dan from the things he loved to do and the people he cared for. The last time I saw him he was sure he would beat his illness, Life took a good man too soon. Tim, Linda, & John Mullins G.H.S.C. a 30 year friend and family.

Dan and my Dad, Ed Heacox, hunted and fished throughout Dan's 40s & 50s and my Dad's 70s & 80s from Mexico to Alaska. He was one of my Dad's best friends. I think Dan won more than one State Trapp Shooting title and may have come close to making an Olympic Team. He will be missed by all who knew him.
