Daniel MARCE Obituary

Published by Regina Leader-Post from Feb. 14 to Feb. 16, 2013.
DANIEL ALVIN MARCE
December 23, 1945-February 13, 2013
It is with heavy hearts, that the Marce family announces the passing of our beloved Dan. After a tragic accident while vacationing with his wife and friends, Dan was brought home to Regina late Tuesday, and passed away a few hours later with his family by his side. He is survived by his loving wife Jan; his sons Dallas (Michelle), Kelly (Jennifer) and Joel (Ashley); his grandson Ben; his close cousin Mel (Irene); and his brother-in-law Doug. Dan loved Regina, it was where he grew up and spent most of his life, and where he was an active member of the community. Dan loved sports and was an avid fan and loyal to Saskatchewan Roughriders, Detroit Red Wings and Los Angeles Dodgers, as well as an enthusiastic participant and coach in various local baseball and hockey teams. He was an enthusiastic golfer, enjoying both the game and its social elements, he looked forward to his weekly games with the guys. Dan married the love of his life, Jan, on April 23rd, 1971. Professionally, Dan worked for Cairns Homes for over a decade, the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the mid 80's and again in the early 90's, Crown Management Board and Printwest from 1997 to 2011, where he produced books on the first 100 years of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, the 1966 and 1989 Roughriders Grey Cup championship teams and a book on the legendary Roughrider player, George Reed. Dan had a lifelong passion for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. He was a dedicated volunteer serving on the Board of Directors from 1993 to 1999, Plaza of Honor Dinner Chairperson, Executive Producer of the Plaza of Honor Dinner from 1993 to present, and as Chair of the Plaza of Honor Selection Committee from 1992 to 2006. The Roughriders were a true labour of love for him. Dan was an extremely loyal husband, father, grandfather and friend, and an exceptionally kind and generous person, who will be dearly missed by the many, many people who loved him. Dan's Funeral Mass will take place at Christ the King R.C. Church, 3239 Garnet Street, Regina, SK on Monday, February 18, 2013 at 10:30 a.m. His remains will be interred at a later date in a private ceremony. In lieu of flowers, we welcome anyone so inclined, to make a donation to the Parkinsons research of Dr. Ali Rajput, a cause very dear to Dan. Donations may be made in Dan's memory to Parkinsons Research, Royal University Hospital Foundation, 103 Hospital Drive, Saskatoon, SK, S7N 0W8.

Attended Central with Danny my most vivid memory is a permanent smile. Danny was always smiling! I have lived in Vancouver for some time and we did not have much contact until a few of us got together in Regina in 2006. Danny and Jan were such gracious and warm hosts and they showed us such a special time and demonstrated first class heartland hospitality. It was a weekend that will stay with me always! In the morning Danny took me to a few places to meet people and I became aware and envious that Danny was connected to Regina and the community in a very special way. I have moved around to various cities and Danny has lived and was committed to Regina. Danny roots ran deep to family and connection. I shared with him that I envied his connection and commitment to community and was quite honest with him that I was feeling that I had missed something very important! Danny mentioned, in passing, that he was golfing with 45 guys in a few days. My reply was "Danny I don't even know 45 guys let alone golf with them"! Though this tragedy happened many years ago I write this now as I feel it is important the you know that you and Danny are still in my thoughts Jan.

Dear Kelly and family;

My deepest condolences and sincere empathy for your loss. Losing your father is a tragedy - coping over distances and dealing with foreign locales can augment the grief, and the frustrations. Cherish your memories, think of him often, and you will find a smile amongst the tears. My thoughts are with you.

Jan,
I just learned today of Danny's passing and my heart goes out to you and your family. I have great memories of Danny from High School and throughout his life. He will always be remembered as the kind, caring, fun and compassionate great guy that always had a friendly hello and a big smile for everyone he met. My prayers are with you to find the strength to carry on with and for your family. He will be missed but he'll always watch over you.

Very sorry to hear about Dan's tragic passing. He contributed so much to the Regina community - always in an upbeat, positive, good natured way. I recall meeting him for the first time playing hockey at the neighborhood rink, both wearing Red Wings jerseys... he was a role model to many and will greatly missed. God Bless. Don Millard, Regina

As I'm reading these wonderful tributes to Danny from people "world wide" it shows the tremendous impact he had on a vast number of people. I'm in Thailand and just heard of Danny's passing from my good friends, the Petersmeyers. I have not seen Danny for many years....actually since High School, but I remember him as though it was yesterday...what a guy! Sincere condolences to Jan and his family. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Dear Jan: We were shocked to hear the news of Danny's tragic passing while we were on vacation. We take comfort in knowing you will be supported during this time of reflection and sadness by your family and the many friends Danny and you have made over your life together. Danny and I always discussed the fortunes of the Dodgers whenever we got together whether that was after the Crawler -Tuneup slow pitch games, Rider games or at Hawgarama. He always went out of his way to chat with you. One of Danny's many great attributes. I had the pleasure of working with him on many Rider dinners when I was at the Exhibition and he was always the true professional in every aspect of his business and volunteer ventures. We share your sorrow and we will for some time now reflect on what a true friend Danny was.
In sympathy Tom and Beverly Mullin

Dear Jan and family-we hold you in our hearts and prayers as you deal with the loss of your loving Dan! He always had a smile on his face and a positive and engaging personality. Such a strong community minded person as Dan will leave a huge hole in Regina! We hope that the happy memories you created together will see you through the difficult days ahead! Dan was such a family man and it was so obvious that he married his first and only true love! He will be sadly missed!

Dolores and I just returned from the USA. We were kept up to date by Travis during this ordeal and it pained us as it did so many people. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you Jan,Dallas, Michelle, Ben, and Family. It is so obvious that Dan was far from an ordinary guy. We marvel at the impact he has had on so many people and organizations.It is simply not supposed to happen this way. But as he was a light to so many people in his lifetime, he is a light to us in his passing. We will all appreciate life more profoundly as the gift it is. Tom Owens, and Dolores Wagner-Owens

Dear Jan and family

It is with a heavy heart we write you a memory of our experiences with Dan. I recall the first time I met him, having collected a few photographs in a box and gone to Print West, proclaiming to Dan "I want to write a book on the history of the RCMP Depot" Dan gave me that smile of his and shook his head. Less than a year later, we published and the book became a national bestseller. That was typical Dan. Always helping people achieve their dreams and having fun experiencing it all. Dan, Redd and I were sitting at Darcy McGees Pub in Ottawa sharing some stories when I recieved a call from the RCMP Commissioner telling me I had been promoted. I told Dan there couldnt be a better friend to celebrate with. We feel very fortunate for the time Dan spent with us. His love of his family and life was very evident and we will remember him always. He has left a legacy with some many people and the community. Thank you for sharing Dan with us

To Jan & Family,

I'm stunned and saddened to learn of Dan's passing. He and I first met while I was at USA Swimming in the late 1990's and kept in loose contact over the years. In fact after a several year absence we connected again by phone just over a month ago. Dan was always very fair to work with and it was easy to become friends as he was just a great guy.

Please accept my most sincere condolences. Words can never make up for the loss you all have endured but hopefully time will help you replace the grief with memories of all of the great times you surely had.

February 19, 2013

Sir Dan.

Dear Mrs. Marce and family,
I was so shocked to hear about Dan's accident and so very saddened to hear about his passing. I worked with Dan for the last six years through the RCMP Quarterly magazine. He had a great sense of humour, sage advice about the world of publishing and always had our best interests at heart. In passing, he spoke proudly about his sons and I hope you can lean on the strength of others now during this difficult time. Please know all of us at the Quarterly will miss him dearly and he will never be forgotten.

Danny left a huge footprint on the soul of our city that will last an eternity. His legacy is everywhere, with the Roughriders, the publishing business, the golf course and his charity work. The torch he has passed on will be a difficult one to carry, such was Danny's impact. His devotion to Jan, his sons, his grandsons and all those who counted themselves as his friends was evident always. Danny was a genuine "good guy", who always took the road less travelled and made things happen. His death is to be mourned but his life is to be celebrated.

So glad we were able to give all the family hugs yesterday and see all the support and love for each other. The road ahead without that great guy Danny on it will be bumpy.

To Jan and Family: I, like all of your family and friends, was both shocked and very saddened when my partner, Marv Roberts, told me about Dan's tragic accident. Dan played an active role, along with Margo Embury, in helping me have my book published and distributed. He was terrific to work with: personable, helpful and fun. I also vividly remember meeting you and Dan together – your bond and love for each other was so apparent – it was touching to see. My deepest sympathies to you Jan and to your family. June A. Donaldson, Calgary and Palm Springs

Jan,
Although no words can really help to ease the loss you and your sons bear, just know that you are very close in our thoughts and prayers. Dan was a close friend of the RCMP and the Veterans' Association, mainly through his involvement with the Quarterly Magazine. On behalf of the Quarterly Board of Trustees and the Quarterly Editorial Management Board, I send our condolences to you and your family.
On a personal note, I will miss his wonderful sense of humour, his infectious smile and his positive energy. He always responded quickly to my communications and was always ready to help and to find solutions.

Dan was a great person to work with - dedicated, imaginative and fun. He was always committed to the people we worked with and to the clients. His genuine enthusiasm and good humour made everyone's day better. Jan, he spoke of you often, with such love and respect. You, your boys, and your incomparable grandson were his core.

As someone before me wrote in this book, he achieved something amazing, which is to have made an impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him, and to have truly left this world a better place than when he entered it. Not many people can say that. He will be missed by so many. My condolences to the entire family.

Jan, it's February and spring training just got underway...I guess the Big Dodger in the sky decided that He could no longer keep Dan down on the farm and called him to the show...it hurts to see Danny leave but, in my imagination, i picture him standing on the field, kibitzing with Roy and Gil and Pee-Wee and the Duke...and it makes me smile.

Al Derges

February 14, 2013

For all the good that Danny has done for so many others over the years, this is so unfair. Danny is the most balanced man I've ever known. A really good athlete, a model for all men as a Dad to Dallas, Kelly and Joel, and a dedicated and loving husband to his lifetime partner, Jan, and on top of all that, a man you could always depend on as a friend. Danny defined loyalty to his many passions, friends and family and he was the guy you could always count on to "get it done". There is now a huge gap in the lives he touched and in the projects that were only great because of his leadership. Time generally heals but in the sudden and senseless passing of this wonderful man there might not ever be enough time.
Most sincere condolences to Jan, Dallas, Kelly, Joel and the grandchildren.

Dear Marce family,
Dan's passing was such an unexpected consequence of a family vacation.
Dan was valued member of the RCMP Quarterly magazine's editorial management board. His contribution was significant, and his loss has saddened all of us.

Dardan Surring

February 14, 2013

I had gone to Central with Dan, got to know him even better when I was with the Unird Way, and saw him around Regina socially for years. We always joked that we were the only ones who stayed here after High School, to make the city a better place. He did that and more. What I remember most about Dan was his smile and the constant twinkle in his eye, while hitting you up for a donation, or just was glad to see you. One of the most honest people I have ever met. I so looked forward to our Central reunion this coming June, we would have had a blast. My sympathies to Jan and the family. He was one of the good ones, Regina won't be the same.

Dear Mrs Marce, Dallas, Kelly, Joel and families. I am so sorry for the tragic loss of your husband and father. Neighbours since I can remember, I see Mr. Marce as such a nice man, always with a friendly smile.

More recently, I was able to see his generousity, work ethic and sense of humour, as he helped my mom attain her long-time goal of printing a cookbook for her family. This kindness will never be forgotten. God bless you all.

Sincerely,
Pam, Keith and Simon Kilback

I was saddened to hear about Dan's tragic passing. But he was surrounded by those he loved most.

I knew Dan since the days when my parents had the Y Tuck Shop and our paths crossed many times, from PrintWest to the Riders.

My sincerest condolences to the Marce family. May Dan always be rememebered with a smile and a warm heart.
