Dana Usher Obituary

Dana Joel Usher Dana Joel Usher, way cute! He arrived August 1947. Dana left us only in body, not in our hearts and mind, on July 6, 2014, where he wanted to be, The Big Island of Hawaii. To all the people at Miners Ace Hardware; the fabulous friends; the Reno poker gang; and especially all the wonderful women he loved, Dana truly thanks you for being a part of his life. He will be remembered by all who knew him for his wonderful sense of humor. Dana leaves behind his loving wife Shari; brother Larry his bud of life; along with many friends and family. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Dana's honor to Hospice. Aloha nui loa! Sign his guestbook at sanluisobispo.com/obituaries

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

"Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand and says 'Don't you see?" We got to make it somehow...on the dreams you still believe. Don't give it up....you've got an empty cup....that only love can fill. --Jerry Garcia/Robert Hunter
Thanks for filling our cup, Dana!
Save us a seat at the next game,

Dana had a special light that not all are blessed with. I was lucky enough to have been his friend.

Dana was the kindest and most soulful man I've ever known. He was a great friend and mentor for me for the last thirty five years. He will be greatly missed and will live in my heart for the rest of my life.

No one brought more humor and joy into a room than Dana. He will be missed by many, including me. Thanks Shari, for being there for him....and us.

There are no words. I will miss his outrageous predictions in the yearly football pool and the many times we shared on the Reno trip with the boys.
I will miss you big guy
