I cannot imagine the sorrow and pain you all are going through during this terrible time.

He's touched so many people in his life, and will always be remembered as an amazing person. The Lord is closest to those who are broken hearted. Praying for you all.

Our heartfelt condolences. We remember Dan as a respectful young professional when cutting trees at my dad's ( Charles Opitz) home in Eddyville. And while we only met for a brief time, I recall his robust laughter as I joked about getting a Hughes Tree Company work shirt to wear in Florida.

We know his passing leaves a sorrowful emptiness and we pray that God gives you and your family all the courage and strength to tide over this loss and grief.

You ask yourself why and get angry because they are gone. Taken from you in a brief moment. The only thing left is your pain, your tears and then the memories. To survive such an ordeal, lean on each other and draw strength as a family. I was there, Christine, when you were born and growing up with your mother, I know that you have her strength to get through this. Dwell on the 21 years of memories that the Lord gave you with him. Bless you and the family.
