After a very happy and fun-filled life, Dan Pipilas, age 65, passed away on Saturday, February 17, 2024, at his home in Schulenburg, Texas.

Dan was born in Nashua, New Hampshire on January 3, 1959. After his father's death, his family moved to Jupiter, Florida in 1969.

Dan attended Jupiter High School, where he excelled in sports and surfing. He also enjoyed his art classes, especially pottery. After graduating in 1977, he started working for JC Moag Mirror and Glass Company. His career took him all over the United States and several places in Canada. It was on one of the jobs in Houston where he met the love of his life, Jan, and they married in 1992.

In 1995, Dan started his own business, DP Construction. He was a very talented craftsman and with his mathematical mind and close attention to detail, Dan could solve any restoration problem. Many of his satisfied customers remain close friends to this day.

Dan was a very active and loved member of Shidoobee, a worldwide online community of Rolling Stones fans that tour the world together for concerts and gatherings. He made many friends that became family, and they will miss him dearly. He would want them to know that they were all very special to him.
