Dan graduated from South Range High School in 1981. He worked at Brentwood Original for several years before moving on to other places, including Cresson Diesel in Cresson, Pennsylvania and Solomon's Mines in Salem.
Dan loved the outdoors, and he loved to fish. He and his best buddy, Harley, a Blue Heeler breed, went everywhere together, with Harley getting his fair share of Dairy Queen ice cream. If Harley wasn't welcome, they didn't go. When Harley passed away five years ago, Dan made a mahogany casket for him.

Watt; his maternal grandparents, Oliver Dale, Sr. and Catherine Jane (Dixon) Metts; his paternal grandparents, Frederick Joseph and Catherine Myrtle (Betrum) Watt and step-grandmother, Alma (Blackstone) Watt; his uncles: Vernon Anthony Metts, Oliver Dale Metts, Jr., Paul Duane Metts, William, James, Herman, Robert, Donald, David and Richard Watt; his aunts, Thelma Kathleen (Metts) Ashbaugh (Richard), Kathy (Watt) Wisilosky, and Florence Ehrhart; and many cousins.
He leaves to cherish his memory his mother, Lois Mae Ellison of Boardman; his sisters, Diane L. Watt and Donna M. Hostutler Calvey (John), both of Boardman; his many aunts and uncles, including Robert Dale Metts, Kathie and Kenneth Watt, Gloria Watt, Betty and Ray Murray, John and Edna Watt, Dorothy and Stephen Draper, Cindy Watt, Elenore Watt, Sheryl Watt, and Lu-Ann Watt; his nephew, Daniel A.
