Dan was a true friend and just a very good man. When he was working it was all business. He was willing to come to any project where we were working and help make sure the “mix” was correct. He never failed to return a call and offer any help or information if he could.
Dan also helped my wife and l with several fundraisers that we did for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Always willing to help and always a gentleman....that is the Dan l knew and will miss. Our prayers go out to all of you.

Peggy Ken and I want to extend our deepest sympathy to you. Daniel will always be remembered and missed . As others have said I’ve have never met a more a kind,caring,giving man. He struggled through several physical issues and never complained. He always wanted to know what he could do for others. We are all better people for knowing him. Our loss, Heaven’s gain. We will see you again Daniel!

My thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of Dan. We grew up together in Laurinburg. He lived around the corner from me. Of course were were classmates from first through twelfth grade. I even think I went to a Boy Scout dance with him in sixth grade, i always thought a lot of Dan. I hope you can find comfort in the days and months ahead.
Sincerely,
