Daniel Musselman Obituary
Jackson - Dr. Daniel Musselman, 38, passed away in his home on November 19 after a courageous battle with cancer. Dan was a resident of Jackson, TN, and native of Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Dan also served as Music Minister at churches in New Jersey, Kansas, and Tennessee.
Dan devoted himself to his wife and their three children. He will be remembered for his unshakable faith in God, desire to point others to Christ, genuine kindness, humility and his big smile.

I found Dan's piano music on Youtube a few months ago. I listen to while I work and I love it. It sets the tone for a peaceful atmosphere. I just looked him up to thank him. I hadn't realized he had passed. I'm saddened to hear this, but please know he is still touching lives.

Dan and I were colleagues and co-assistant directors of the new music ensemble at KU. I had the pleasure of singing his music and working alongside him and sharing an office with him. He was a shining light, a supportive colleague and friend, an inspired artistic creative, and a deep thinking and talented teacher. I will miss him so much. Sending you all love. --Lisa Neher

Dan and I lived across the hall from each other one year in college. He was always a congenial, kind-spirited guy, and I'm so sorry to hear of his passing.

Hi,
I was friends with Dan for just a short time while we were in high school (he at Faith Christian Academy and I was at Calvary Baptist school). I remember his love for good music even back then and his very sweet demeanor!! I'm so very very sorry for this loss and am fully confident that the Lord will prove to be faithful and a refuge for all. Praise the Lord that this world isn't all there is and that Dan is walking with his Savior.
