Dan was a wonderful brother, always there to help, give advice or whatever you needed. He helped me in so many ways over my life I am forever thankful. Just being with Dan was a joy. He always knew how to lighten the mood. The Lord gave him all the strength, wisdom and courage to help others become better people. I love you Brother! See you soon in Glory. Teresa

I met Dan in 1998. He brought his son Joey to (KLPC) Kids Power and Light Company (children's church) at Trinity. Dan's daughter Christiana helped lead worship a few times. I eventually led that service for over five years. Dan would ask how Joey was doing and how he could pray for me and my family. I loved Dan's heart toward God and his concern for others. I will pray for the Ward family as Dan prayed for my family. (From Pastor Dan Gruber - Omaha)

Dan was a friend going back to grade school. A great guy who later became a strong follower of Jesus Christ. Dan was very influencial in my own salvation experience some 42 years ago. God Bless you my friend.
