Dan was raised in Concord though most recently a resident of Tualatin, OR. He passed away on Feb. 12, following a recent diagnosis of esophageal cancer. Dan was born in San Francisco to James A. (deceased) and Diane R. Clancy. He was a graduate of Queen of All Saints, and Mt. Diablo High School. Dan worked as a lithographer and at UPS in Concord and Tualatin.

Dan leaves behind a loving family including his mother Diane Clancy, son Killian, sisters Susan Serventi, Sharon Burt (Greg), Carol Freitas (Vernon), brothers Michael & Thomas Clancy, Cameron Royce, and many cousins, nieces and nephews. Dan was very proud to have 25 plus years of sobriety. He thoroughly enjoyed hiking, fishing & bird watching.

Dear Killian, Diane, Sharon, Carol, Michael, Thomas and Susan, My heart is also broken. You are never alone. We lost a man who was unique in so many ways. Danny was a gentle soul with a heart of gold. He went out of his way to be of service to others. I learned a lot from Danny and I feel blessed that I got to hang out with Danny before he moved back to Oregon. Our world will never be the same. I love all of you and will keep on praying that God gives you the strength to carry on. Love, Kath

It's hard to believe you're gone, Dan. You're missed by so many who thought the world of you. I'm thankful we spent quality time together before you so peacefully went to be with Dad and countless others who welcomed you home. You have my word that Killian will always be in good hands. It won't be long.. we'll have him picking imaginary butterflies out of the air just as you often did in a crowd. Until we meet again, know that you're loved and missed by all. Lots of love and hugs to you today, and always..
Your sister, Carol
