I had the privilege of working with Dan at Learning RX for about 3 years. He was dedicated to his students and always committed to helping them become their very best! He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

I Ran for Dan :)
Mr. Van Awesome was a great man. He was always smiling when he was in the classroom and he made learning fun. He would come to school even if he wasn't feeling one hundred percent. He told us he did this just so he could see our faces. He always brightened our day. I am praying for the family of him and praying that Jesus will comfort them.

I love you, Dan, and will miss you!
My heart is heavy today. I had the privilege of working with Dan at CIS, and I was also his mentor the first year he joined our staff. He was loved by all his students and colleagues and will be missed. There will be a hole at CIS that will never be filled because of his absence. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time of loss.
