Dan Pless Obituary

DAN M. PLESS Dan Medlin Pless came into this world on August 29th, 1965 in Lexington, NC. Named after the doctor that delivered him, Dan was the fourth (and "favorite child") as well as devoted son to his loving parents "Miss Judy and Charlie" Pless. He was especially close with his "little" big sister, Jenny Pless and is survived by siblings Karen Clark, Deborah McMaster, and Charles Pless. Dan moved to Wilmington in 1986 where he excelled in the automotive service industry. Immensely hard-working, he was and will be remembered as one of the finest service advisors and service managers this area has ever seen. Dan was passionate about golfing, anything Chevrolet, as well as the "vastly superior" Lexington-style barbeque and slaw. He was one of the most giving people you would ever have the good fortune to meet. Dan will be remembered for many things, chief among them his generous, kind and loving nature and his "colorful" use of the English language. He would give you the shirt off his back, a shoulder to lean on, a warm smile, an ear to listen and an unwavering devotion to those he loved. To know Dan was to love him and if he knew you...he loved you right back. In the early morning of March 28th, 2019 Dan decided he was tired and wanted to go home. Each day he always made sure to leave the world in a better place than he found it. Please honor his memory by doing the same. Memorial gathering will be 2 to 4 Saturday April 6, 2019 at Wilmington Funeral Chapel. Share memories and condolences with the family at www.wilmingtoncares.com.

My name is Robert Marasco. I have had the pleasure of knowing Dan while he was working at Safeway Chevrolet. I had purchased a used 1996 Chevyc 3500, only because my son liked the truck. After 400 miles the engine blew as well as the transmission. Dan and Safeway took the lead on customer service. At no charge to me they replaced both engine and tranny.
He could not understand why I was not angry. I said what good would that do you all are working on my truck if I get mad youll forget something. He was a good man And I dont know where to go now to get that same service. Peace to all his family members,
Sincerely
Robert Marasco

I've had the pleasure of knowing Dan Pless since the late 90s. From the time we met he treated me like a little brother from that time on. Dan was the kind of person always helping anyone anywhere. If you were lucky enough to have known Dan you had a friend for life. He will be missed. But Dan Pless will never be forgotten! Love you brother!
