Daniel Good Obituary
9/11/1965 - 6/21/2012
Dr. Dan Good found rest in the arms of God on June 21, 2012. Dan was born sixth of seven children in Philadelphia. His family moved west to Wyoming when he was only 3 years old. Dan grew up in Lander and graduated from Lander Valley High School in 1983. He graduated from the University of Wyoming and Colorado State University, where he received his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine.
Dan always loved animals. He was the owner of Alcor Cresta Veterinary Hospital in Midvale, UT. Thousands of animal patients and their owners will miss him. He had seven of his own children, all cats who found their way into his hands through trials of their prior owners.
Dan loved his new home and garden and was enjoying time spent enlarging his gardens of flowers and vegetables, trees and unusual specimens of flowers. He also loved a good glass of red and shared wine and meals with friends and family frequently. This amazing, intellectual and humorous son, brother, uncle, and friend of many humans and animals, is at peace, finally.
Dan is survived by his loving parents, George and Helen Good. His sisters, Helen La Rose & husband Larry, Susan McOmie & husband Del, Dot Stefanich & husband, Jeff, Diane Olsen & husband Jeff, and Lisa Radke & husband Matt, and his big brother David Good & wife Karen, along with their treasured families know that he is watching over them, finally at peace. One of the most important parts of this man's legacy is his love for all his nieces and nephews. He was called 'Uncle Burp' by Leah, Annie, Mike, Christine, Megan, Becky, Matthew, Brittney, Katie, Nick, Alana, Danielle, Tom, A.J., & Nathan. Great nieces and nephews Matthew, Cody, Paco, Bronson, Avery and Clay will miss him too.
There will be a Celebration of Dan's life at Wheeler Farm Pavilion and South Lawn, 6351 South 900 East, SLC, on Friday, June 29, 2012, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. under the direction of Starks Funeral Parlor. Friendly pets are welcome to attend, but must be on leashes. In lieu of flowers, the Good Family has requested donations be made to a Memorial Foundation at Mountain America Credit Union in the name of Dr. Dan Good.

Still think of your love and enthusiasm for all living things. My fur baby Jake was never fond of any other vet than You! How you would bust into the exam room happily yelling "It's a Berner! It's a Berner!", getting on the floor with him to hug him & play with him, always taking him in the back so he could get more of your favorite treats out of the fridge Jake new exactly where the fridge was. He Loved You SO Much!!! We All Did & Still Do Jake Jake aka Big Handsome is running with you now through fields of beautiful flowers. Give him a chest bump & a high paw in by the air 'high five' for me please & tell him, I can't wait to hug him again one day. You are an INCREDIBLE beautiful soul & your love is still all around. We love you Dr. Good Thank you for you.

Happy Fourth of July Dr. Good! I was at Alcor yesterday and was still looking around every corner hoping that I would see you press your face against the window saying, "It's a Berner, It's a Berner!", with your big smile. You said something to me once, in your gracious generosity to help all .."why wouldn't I" ... I live by those words each day and miss you so very much !!!!!

Just found out today to my horror and and shock that one of my best friends for the last 25 years passed away over 7 months ago - I simply didn't know. Dan my dear friend you will sorely missed. To Dan's family, I want to extend my wife and I's extremely belated upmost and sincerest heartfelt sympathies on your profound loss. I'm so, so sorry.
January 20, 2013
Dearest Dr. Dan, I took Bernice to your clinic today. It was the first time she was there since you so kindly insisted that we bring her in "after hours". Of course you helped her and fixed her and now, such a long time later, I still wish you were there to make her better. Every time I go to your clinic, I still feel you - - the love you had for my animals, the gentleness and kindness that you had for me, and for the unmatchable quality of care that you so consistently offered us every time we saw you. It was hard to go to your place, but it gave me a sense of comfort and peace as well. We all miss you!!

Today I made Aziza & Sophie's first vet appointment at Alcor Cresta since you have passed away. It's going to be difficult not seeing you there, you were the only vet I trusted my boo boos with. I promise to go easy on the new guy, I hope he can live up to your quality of service. I'm so sad I did not get to say good bye to you Dr. Good... I hope you are having a wonderful time wherever you are now, surrounded by the many animals that came across your path here on Earth. I hope to see you again someday (:

All the words and tears in the world can not express my sadness for the passing of Dr. Good. He was truly one of a kind. He did so much for our family's animals. I was blessed to meet him by adopting our Delilah from him in 2007. He was so caring and genuine. We had never met anyone like him, he was not only our vet but became our friend. Sadly we lost Lilah in February. I find comfort knowing she was there to greet him. In our hearts always and until we meet again.

We were so saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. Good. We met him when he was at Denker's Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Good took care of our "shop" cat, Alby, when he developed diabetes. When Alby's health began to fail Dr. Good was there for all of us. Our Alby passed over the Rainbow Bridge and Dr. Good helped us so much with his care and compassion.
Goodbye Dr. Good, we will never forget you.

Our family was shocked to hear the news of Dr. Good's passing. It was obvious how much he loved animals. He helped us through the passing of two of our pets and I'm pretty sure he cried with us.
Thanks, Dr. Good. I'm sure that a huge herd of patients greeted you in heaven.

I only know you, through the eyes of the many others, that love you.
My Harley went to the Rainbow Bridge, April 20, 2012. He too, had a wonderful vet, that came to our home. He was born in SLC 13 years ago. His name was "Bob".
Vets & all animals are a gift from God. They all teach us "love & compassion".
I know you'll meet with a warm welcome, at the Rainbow Bridge. Hug Harley (& Pepper) for me.
May your friends & family, find comfort, in that you are no longer in pain & that you made such a difference in so many lives.
Much love,

As I sit here two weeks after Dr. Good's last day among us, I still struggle to find comfort or meaning. I wonder if Dr. Good also struggled with the grim realities of mortality inherent in his line of work. I can imagine both tremendous joy and gut wrenching heartache is experienced on a regular basis in a veterinarian's environment. Obviously, most of us would find the positive and saving part of a vet's work rewarding. But it takes a very special person to handle the abysmal lows of such work, and Dr. Good's unique and seemingly one-of-a-kind approach, evidenced by such a genuine caring for all animals, perhaps made him hyper sensitive to this (talk about taking one's work home with them).
As I read through these guest book entries, I realize more fully what a legend Dr. Good was. It also makes me wish I'd known him better. For many of us, our lives and our pet's lives have been positively improved by this giant of a man. For those that were family, and those fortunate enough to know him more personally, your world must have been infinitely bettered because Dan was a part of it. Not knowing him as well, I can only imagine the sorrow you all must feel.
I was so taken with Dr. Good's genuine love for animals that I frequently talked about him and constantly recommended him to anyone with a pet, despite knowing that this would make getting appointments more of a challenge, as there's only so much Dr. Good to go around. He understood my unhealthy attachment and connection I have with canines and my Mojo in particular. To say that I will rue the day when I must say goodbye to my best friend is a gross understatement, but I took for granted that I'd have Dr. Good to help me through the inevitable and survive such a dark time. His legacy will never be forgotten and to that, I raise a heartfelt toast to one of the greats.
You will be missed beyond words.

What sad news for all. May God grant peace to Dr. Good's family and friends. We will miss you very very much Dr. Good. You were so good with all our grand-dogs:Caspian, Gracie, and Solana; and with our dog-ter Annie. Your love and care for our pets and for all of us animal lovers was very evident. We miss you.

Dr Good c/o Heaven,
I'm am heartbroken over losing you here on earth. You took care of my best friend & baby boy Gus. I knew I could bring him to you & he was in trusted hands. You & your staff always did their best & I knew even when Gus went to heaven you tried your hardest to keep him here with us. Thank you for treating Gus & all other animals like they were your own best friends. I'm sure Gus & all those animals you treated that have gone to heaven were there to welcome you home & take care of you. You will be deeply missed.

Ive sat down to write this note atleast 2 dozen times. I just dont want your life here to be over. You were/are absolutly the most amazing Veterinarian. So good at what you do because you care and you put your whole heart and soul into it. Without you I would not have my Tankyboy, mia maria or Skeeter. You Loved all the animals and truly wanted to help each and everyone of them. Your compassion knew no boundaries. You were first and foremost my dear friend. We went thru alot together over the years and I am so very greatful for each and every experience I shared with you from making wine in my bath tub numerous times, to diggin in the dirt-workin on your house, getting texts of "floral deliveries, Barking in the New year on all fours with Doolie and Tank-(that one really makes me laugh and I hope you deleted all those pics from your computer) Making your favorite Peach Pies and bringing them to you, and also hearing that you sometimes sat down with a fork and ate the whole pie for dinner! Dropping off Soups, and Stew and Cookies and stuff to you whenever I made a "VAT" of food. You were always so appreciative and sincere! I just go the recipe off the internet for your Fave' dinner of Crackerbarrel Chicken and Dumplings, and I have peaches in the freezer for pie.......... Thankyou for always standing by me thru everything and the times I couldnt stand- you held me up. You always told me it was going to be okay. Thankyou for the joy you brought to mine and the "kids" life and the imprint you left on my heart. I'm just sorry that I took for granted that you, and tomorrow would always be here! I Love you and I will miss your laugh, your smile, your frown, your "serious side", your intelligence and wit, and your heart of gold that had Love and compassion for every living creature and plant you every crossed paths with! Rest in Peace~You are now an Angel with wings of your own-Watch over all of us still here on this phase of our journey and occasionally wrap your Angel wings around us for comfort! Im sure Doolie, Hank, Mush and Huey were there at the Bridge to greet you along with thousands of other furbabies eager to see you again and those eager to meet "The Ledgendary Dr Dan"! Peace, Love and Light to your heart from mine til the day After FURever! Til I see you again......

We were shocked to found a small memorial for Dr. Good at Tanner park today. Dr. Good had treated our animal children with so much love and compassion that we consider him as an important member of our family. We will miss him tremendously. Stephen, Pin, Youkee(cat) and Nutmeg (dog).

We were shocked to get the news as we opened the mail after being on vacation. Dr. Good saved our Autumn from becoming a three legged cat. He did such an awesome job of finding an orthopedic surgeon on a Saturday when most were off skiing. Our kitty walks a little funny, but she has all four legs to chase our other cat Smoky around the house.
Dr. Good, take care of our Sasha. We will miss you and keep you and your family in our thoughts.

Dr. Good, we will miss you! You were one in a million and can never be replaced. We were so very blessed to have him not only as our vet, but as a friend. Dr. Good saved my beloved dog Molly's life 2 years ago when he diagnosed her with diabetes, got her well again with medication and then helped me deal with her losing her eyesight to cataracts just a few short months later. I thought for sure the end was near as I was sobbing my heart out in his office. Dr. Good had so much compassion and helped me adjust to being a "seeing eye person" for Molly. We are all doing very well and still enjoying all that life has to offer. I adored Dr. Good and am heartbroken at his passing. He was truly a giant among men. To Dr. Good's family, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. He was an incompariable person who touched the lives of everyone and every animal he met. Life will not be the same without Dr. Good's smiling face. May he rest in peace.

A man, oh, but how he touched my heart. I think every person that had the glorious priviledge of meeting Dan fell in love with him. He had the ability to enter your heart with the ever so humble grace that was Divine. Dan was as close to being "Christ-like" as possible. I'm sure that I can speak for all that new him. He will forever remain in the very essence of our soul. How fortunate am I to have had Dan in my life; for I have learned from him how to give without expecting, how to love without desire, and how to heal through the power of the heart. I love you Dan for helping me walk when I was weak and for saving the spirit that resides at my bedside. For all that you have given, all that you have done, may you walk with the angels, for you are one.

We first met Dr. Dan shortly after he became the new owner of Alcor Cresta. He diagnosed our cat Mittens with diabetes and a year later our other cat Wizzer was diagnosed with diabetes.
Dr.Dan helped both cats live many years.
The last two years he has taken care of
our new babies - Tigger Two, Socks and
Baci. What an amazing man, vet and friend. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dr. Dan's family and the staff at Alcor Cresta.

To Dr Dan's family – thank you so much for making it possible for all of us who held him in such high regard to have the opportunity to honor him and to meet and visit with you all. There certainly was a wonderful spirit there at Wheeler Farm this evening; our tears mingled with happy memories of our times with him and all the wonderful staff at Alcor Cresta. And I feel sure that he was there with us in spirit. It's easy to see why he has such a special place in our hearts having met the rest of the Good clan. You will all continue to be in our thoughts and prayers in the coming days and months ahead.

To Dan's family. I just got home from his celebration of life and want to thank you all for such a wonderful tribute to Dan and all of his customers and our pets. How thoughtful of you to think of our pets and provide dog bones and tags. I immediately got in the house and put them on both of my dogs and gave them their treats. I can't even imagine what you are all going through as a family, when I am having such a struggle myself. I have never had a vet like Dan, and I'm sure will not find anyone like him. What big shoes to fill. My heart goes out to all of you and to the staff I've come to know. My two dogs,, Teddy and Scooter, will know something is wrong when we go in for our next visit. What a wonderful family you are and what a wonderful job you did in raising Dan. He will be so missed. Please know you are in our prayers and thoughts. May Dan know how loved he is and be at peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone

Dr. Good treated my dog, Spud, several times during our recent visit to our home in Midvale. I was immediately impressed with his warm and caring greeting of Spud and his knowledge of Spud's condition. I was so looking forward to his taking care of Spud when we are able to move back to Midvale. My deep condolences and sympathy to Dr. Good's family and friends and his very kind and efficient staff. His passing is a huge loss to both the human and animal worlds.

I was saddened more than I can say to learn of the death of our beloved veterinarian, Dan Good. For several years we have deeply appreciated his great skill and genuine compassion, both unmatched in our experience. He saved the life of one of our cats on at least one occasion, and has our undying gratitude for that among other things. I really don't know what we'll do without him.
Rest in peace, Dr. Good. We will truly miss you.
June 29, 2012
WE WILL MISS DR DAVE FOR A GOOD LONG TIME. HE WAS THERE FOR ME AND MY THREE PUPPIES WHEN A BAD PERSON TRIED TO POISON THEM. DR DAN FELT ALMOST AS BAD AS WE DID WHEN HE COULD ONLY SAVE ONE OF THEM.

I am truly shocked and saddened to hear of your passing. My doggy heart goes out to your two and four legged family and friends. I will never forget the first time you and I met. You never backed away from my wolf-like appearance and actions. Instead, you dropped on your knees, looked into my eyes and opened your arms. A very special bond was formed that day. I heard my mom say that I was the toughest sweetheart she'd had the pleasure of raising. You said, It's the wolf in her. Be patient and she'll come around. Mom was patient and I came around. I will miss your genuine smile and twinkle in your eyes as you walk into the exam room saying, Hi Woofy, how ya doin? I will miss you and mom sitting on the floor, struggling to trim my beautiful nails, yet reassuring me that it was OK and promising me a plain cheeseburger after our visit. I will miss hearing my mom ask you; If she were yours, what would you do? You never steered us wrong. I will miss you romping around on the linoleum floor; woofing and playing with me. I will miss your whiskered face as I slapped on those big wet kisses. I will miss your honesty, compassion and truthfulness. I will miss the gentleness of your heart and the assurance in your eyes. I will miss the only vet buddy I trust with my care. I will miss you. I will sincerely miss you, my true and faithful friend.
Sincerely,
Teka Woofy Nielson

Our family (kitten littles included) is deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Dan. He was an advocate for them on this earth and we know he is now with our beloved Mika and all the others that he rescued that have passed on. He can never be replaced and will forever be missed. Our hearts go out to all his family, furry ones included.
We love you Dr. Dan. Chantel & Sons.

Dan was one of the most gentle and tender men I have ever known. Elvis, Cessie and Smokey will miss you, as will I. I trust that you are at peace and and that your kind heart is no longer in pain. Fare thee well.

This is a shock! Dr. Good was an amazing vet and even a better man. He truly cared about my two dogs. I brought Maggie in there with knee problems and most vets would have just done surgery but Dr Good didn't want to cause that wasn't what was best for her. My family is going to miss you. Rest in peace!!
The Packard family.

My family is deeply saddened for the loss of Dr. Good. He was an amazon man and one of the best vets I have ever taken my four furry boys too. After every visit with Dr. Good my son would tell me “I'm going to be a Vet just like Dr. Good.” We will miss you Dr. Good!!!

My boys and I are in complete shock with the news of Dr. Good's passing. Our deepest and heart-felt sympathy goes out to all his family. May the Lord watch over all of you and bless you with His peace and comfort. Dan was always so kind to all my kitties. Our experiences with Dr. Good match all the posted comments. Heaven is very blessed to have such an amazing man while the earth is mourning his loss. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Thank you for raising such an amazing man and sharing him with the rest of us for a short time. I am grateful for the knowledge that there is life after death and I know you will see him again in Heaven and hold him in your arms.

I'm truly at a loss this gentle gaint is no longer with us. He was and forever will be one of the best. I've been bringing my animals to Dan for many of years. And my heart is truly broken for his family and all of us that brought are kids to see him. When I had to put my Charlie down the talk that Dan had with me I'll never for get. As I held my Charlie for his last breath threw my tears I seen Dans tears. This is a man that was And will forever be my friend.

Wow. This is hard to believe. It was only a week or so back that we took Fizzer in to have the Good Doctor Dan look at a wound he got in a fight. Both our cats are with us due to Dr. Good, we will certainly miss him.

Dr. Dan Good was simply the best. It was a treat for Abbey to visit Dr. Good, she would get so excited when he would come into the room, "how's my little Abbey?" Words can't express our condolences, he was truly a great person and made an incredible positive impact in so many animals and people's lives. Thank you for the difference you made in this world. You will be missed by many.
