Daniel Lynn Obituary

LYNN, Daniel E. "Dan L." -- At Peace on July 13, 2003, at the age of 45 after a very courageous battle with kidney cancer. He is survived by his devoted wife Katie O'Brien, mother Shirley Lynn, father Don Lynn, siblings Debbie, Sharon, Steve, Kelly, and Sandy. He was a proud and awesome uncle to 24 nieces and nephews and an outstanding and highly respected son-in-law and brother-in-law. Dan was born on October 6, 1957, in New York. He grew up in San Jose, CA, where he graduated from Mt. Pleasant High School. He enjoyed boating, water skiing, camping, snowskiing, skate-boarding, and traveling. He especially enjoyed Trinity Lake. He lived a full and enjoyable life. He was admired and loved by all who were fortunate enough to know him. His beautiful smile, humor and enthusiasm will be dearly missed. A celebration of his life will be held September 6, 2003, at 3 p.m. at St. Brother Albert Catholic Mission, 10250 Clayton Road, San Jose, CA. Arrangements by NEPTUNE SOCIETY. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the American Cancer Society, 1715 S. Bascom Ave., #100, Campbell, CA 95008 or Kaiser Hospice, 275 Hospital Parkway, San Jose, CA 95119.

I grew up at Pala Rancho and remember Danny as the ultimate prankster and charmer. His vivacious spirit will be missed.

I was truly sadened to hear of the passing of Dan. Though it has been years since I last saw him I too remember the great smile and his love of waterskiing and his love for his dog and that big truck. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
