Dan hired me in 2016 at CRMC, as a Security Officer. Dan was a phenomenal supervisor. He really cared about his people and always inquired about how my family, and I were doing. After leaving the Hospital in 2019, Dan would still call me occasionally to check in. Today, I attended his memorial service and could feel his presence, especially during the music of his favorite band, Pink Floyd. It was an honor knowing Dan for the few years we had together. Dan will always be missed by all who knew him.

I am so sorry to hear of Dan´s passing.
He was so kind to customers when he owned Godfather´s in Beatrice and always had a friendly greeting as a deputy in the Sheriff´s dept. My prayers are with Cheryl, and all his family.

So sorry to hear of Daniel´s passing. He and I played a lot together as friends when I lived in Wymore as young elementary kids. I moved to Beatrice after 4th grade, and kind of lost connections then, but still have fond memories of the time we spent together!
