He was raised in Bountiful, Utah, Colorado and settled in Layton, Utah.  Dan graduated from Layton Hugh School; class of ’78.  Dan was very popular and athletic. He excelled in all sports, but baseball was his favorite.  He was an Eagle Scout and used those skills throughout his life.

Dan owned his own Brick Works Masonry business after learning the trade from his father, then passed those skills off to his sons, he took great pride and mastered his craft.  Dan also worked in the oil fields for Schlumberger and again passed that trade to his sons. Dan had a special spot for his daughters, often daddy daughter dates.  Attending concerts with his kids.  He was proud to share the story that he delivered his daughter in his big blue truck. Dan love classic rock, always with the best sound system and could be heard driving home from a mile away, letting the kids know chores better be done when he got home.

He was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents; Louis and Lorna, Roy and Ellen, aunts, uncles, cousins, and a great nephew, Sherilyn.  Dan loved his pets, Grunt, Girlie, Munchie, Winnie and Misty, they too are feeling the loss.
