Dan was a lifelong BYU fan who enjoyed watching, listening to, and discussing all things BYU. He loved fishing, especially with his children and grandchildren, and was a fierce racquetball player. Above all, Dan loved his family. He was an incredible husband, father, and grandfather who found his greatest joy in being with them and seeing them happy.

The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the many friends, neighbors, family members, and church members who offered kind words, prayers, and support. They also extend their thanks to the doctors, nurses, and staff at MD Anderson Cancer Center, and to Hospice of the Valley, who cared for Dan with great compassion during the final week of his life.
