I can't believe the amount of time that has passed, you are still missed

Man, still can´t believe you are gone. So many fun times in SIS and even more fun after the game. You always made people laugh. 3/23/25. Rest in peace, see you again someday. Maybe you will be wearing those black chaps.

I will miss all the SIS times. One where you were a healer and waved yours arms around saying you were a healing tree. Be at peace

Dan was an amazing individual. Coming up on a year after his passing, I can recall so many shining moments with Dan and conversations that stick with me as crystal clear examples of the outstanding quality of his spirit. Even after a year, I still tear up at knowing that he is gone.

My daughter was one of Dan's closest friends I got to know him well...He joined Tonya a couple times in Nashville for Halloween festivities and helped her move me back to Nebraska when I relocated. I send my thoughts and prayers for his passing... He will be truly missed, there is a gap in the world now... always a smile on his face for everyone. Bless you all.

We strayed apart and did not keep in contact, but hearing the news this morning all the memories just rush back. From you healing the group when we were all dumb in combat, the leather chaps you wore.....I could go on and on about the old days.....May you forever live in the Shadows.

Himself. Artist. Kind soul. Friend. What a light we have lost. I wish my son could have known you better, Dan. Your quirky smile and sneaky laughter brought such life to a room. Miss you already.

I had the privilege of getting to know Dan through a few different friends' circles in our lives.
His creativity and ability to bring excitement and color to a challenging world was a gift he frequently gave us all.
Dan was talented.

The outpouring of love and sharing of his art I am seeing on social media right now is heartwarming and it feels like it is helping so many of his friends through their grief.
It is also an example of Dan, once again, bringing beauty to a difficult situation.

I count myself lucky to have known him.

Dan was someone I always looked forward to seeing and would seek out in social situations. When around him you knew you were family to him and you couldn't help but feel at ease. He was a talented artist and excellent friend.
I hope he has found peace and I wish all of his friends and family comfort in knowing how loved he was.

They say in death, we only remember the best of someone. In this case, its not true. In the small amount of time I was privileged to know Dan, he was always a kind and creative soul. I will miss his quirky witticism, his laugh and being allowed brief looks into his vibrant life. Dan, as you move on from this life to your chosen beyond, I hope you save us a seat at the table with you when we meet again.

My time around Dan was way too short by my own doing. When he was around me, he always added light to my life, and all those around me. His smile was contagious, as was his laugh. I hope to see him again someday, share a glass of whiskey, and smile from old stories

To a man who showed me who I was deep down. Who could do something small to make you smile, laugh.. or realize you messed up badly. Who just made the world better and brighter. Love you Dan, and Miss you so much.

My friend Dan was an amazing human, who lit up every room he was ever in. I will miss his smile, his laughter, and most importantly; his hugs. His many talent enriched the lives of those who cared for him. He was the best of us. I love you friend. May we meet again.
