Dan Belt

Dan Belt, the eldest son of Linda Darnell and John L Belt, was born on May 22, 1964, in Oklahoma City. Tragically, he passed away unexpectedly on August 12, 2023, at the age of 59.
Dan graduated from Putnam City High School and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science from Central State University before pursuing an MBA in Urban Planning at the University of Oklahoma in Norman.
A naturally gifted athlete, Dan began competing at a young age, amassing numerous awards and trophies throughout his life. Although excelling in several sports, he primarily identified as a tennis player. Dan remained passionate about sports and politics throughout his lifetime.
