Not sure what to say?

I´m thinking of all of you as you remember Avd share the love you cherish with Dan. Prayers for healing and hugs as you are celebrating your years of your life together.

So sorry for your loss, I met Dan in 2007 when I started going to the Miracle Ranch Men's retreat. many years we would meet for breakfast and play golf on Friday mornings on our way to the retreat. Always looked forward to his infectious smile and welcoming laugh and competing with KMG on how may members each group brought (Dan cheated when he brought Wenatchee guys, called it KMG east). I will miss his good nature and will always remember what he taught me in sobriety and life.

I am so sorry for you loss Melodee. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. So many memories of you and Dan dating in high school.

Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to meet Dan in person. However, I had several conversations with him and Melodee. He along with Melodess was a way shower for others. In showing the way, they each exhibited a beautiful energy and outlook on life and continue to be an inspiration on how to live a beautiful, full, courageous life.

Dan was a huge part of my life. Friend, mentor, student and employer. I will miss him dearly.

My Grandpa taught me what to look for in a man. He taught me what a gentleman is and does. He also taught me to never back down, even if you feel like it is too much work. He said that he saw my call to always fight injustice and to stand up for myself. That sometimes it is okay to be scared, to fear the outcome. But if you work hard enough and fight, in the long run you will receive what you worked for. He was a huge believer in manifestation, which he also taught me to do.

I will always remember his generous spirit. The gift of hang gliding in Jackson Hole with Dan and Mel was a wonderfully fun time Dan gifted to me. Mel and I had quite the adventure one time, while Dan wanted to go twice!! I know you are soaring free with Brock now, Dan. I feel blessed to have known you for so many years and I´m grateful you shared your story with me and my daughter. We are better for your example of how to live and enjoy life and friends with your commitment to sobriety,...

I think my favorite memory of Dan is when he came to the Woodinville campus and we were in the process of an expansion. Each time he came he was so excited to see the progress. It was like watching a child get excited at Christmas time. I loved watching him and Dr. Mel together when he would ask"have you seen my girlfriend." I hope one day I can aspire to this type of commitment in my own marriage. We miss you Dan.
