Dan was such a Good Friend. We spent a lot of time together at the horse shows and trail riding my horses. Dan loved telling everyone he was my Groom. We loved kayaking with him and going to Dale Hollow over the years. How we met was his Best Friend Don and My Best Friend Debbie married each other and we quickly became close friends ever since. Dan Loved Life! Anyone that met him Loved Him! He was a People Person and could fit in with anyone. He was always interesting and he never let any grass grow under his feet! Words can not express the sadness of losing him. I miss the texts and phone calls already. Rest In Peace My Friend....GodSpeed
