Dan, I cant believe it's been a year ... yet the pain of losing you is still so strong. I miss you so much my heart hurts every day. I miss your laugh, I miss your smile, I miss seeing you in your "eye" hat, I miss our walks, I miss watching you push peoples buttons and then laugh about it, I miss kicking your butt in croquet (even with your black ball), I just really miss having my brother in my life! I'm sorry I lived life like there would always be a tomorrow ... Thank you for being such a great brother!! I love and Miss you with all my heart !!

Well it has been a year already. This has been the lonliest year of my life. I think a lot of people feel that way. I think about you everyday, and on the days that it seems unbearable I think about something that we did together and it makes me smile. I love you Dan, and I was the luckiest big brother in the world to have you for a little brother.

Della and Family!

I can hardly believe that it has almost been a year since Dan left this physical world. There isn't a day that Earl and I do not talk about Dan and how everyone loved him. Words cannot begin to express the sense of loss that the family has felt. I know that Dan and Marion are having a great time hunting and spending time together. Della, Earl and I are always here for you and the family! We love you all!

Well it is hunting season. It isn't the same without you. I miss just talking with you and making fun of everyone. We got our deer, and I have a bull picked out. Hunting isn't the same, I have never been so lonely in the woods. I miss you Dan, and I love you like no one will ever know.

People don't feel sorry for me or his family and friends. Feel sorry for the ones that never got to know him. He was the greatest. They missed out on a one of a kind. :]

Thanks for all you've done. I've missed you for so long. I can't believe you're gone. You still live in me. I feel you in the wind, you guide me constantly. I've never knew what it was to be alone, no. 'Cause you were always there for me. You were always home waiting. But now I come home. And I miss your face so. Smiling down on me. I close my eyes to see. And I know You're a part of me. And it's your song that sets me free. I sing it while I feel I can't hold on. I sing tonight 'Cause it comforts me. I carry the things that remind me of you. In loving memory of the one that was so true. You were as kind as you could be. And even though you're gone you still mean the world to me. I'm glad He set you free from sorrow. But I'll still love you more tomorrow. And you'll be here with me still. All you did, you did with feeling. And you always found a meaning and you always will..

I love you Dad.

I will always remember all the times that Dan tried to get me going for whatever reason. He had such a dry sense of humor, but I loved that part of him. He was a very giving soul and always willing to help his Uncle Earl or anyone for that matter. He so loved his children, they were his babies. Dan will truly be missed by all of his family and friends.

To The Harmon Family:

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

I Loved your son,dad,brother,uncle,(TOO MANY THINGS TO WRITE) so much. Not alot of people knew how close Dan and i were, from grade school to all activities to Grumpys. We always supported each other thru our years in Longview.

He was one of the reasons i always have had a great attitude in life. He always made me smile.

I love his family and so sorry i am leaving town today but my heart is bleeding tears of sorrow for you. He will be so missed. Kyle

To My Harmon Family----the family who took me in when i had no family--the family who always has treated me as their own. To the sisters, the brothers and now nieces and nephews---God how i Love all of you. You know i can't write this without a tear in my eye. You know how Dan will be missed. I thank you for sharing him with me for all the years. I thank you for letting me have the Harmon name even when we were divorced (yet remained friends).

Bonnie Roberts

We miss so much growing up, and then we move away. I am sorry that I did not have the opportunity to keep in touch and to get to know you better, and the rest of my cousins. Life gets so busy, too busy, you work long hours, children die, friends die, neighbors die, and now more family dies. I will remember our childhood years and the family things we did together. Family reunions......so long ago. You will be missed by my family that stayed in Washington and kept in contact with you. I will remember the years when life was not expecting us to do more than have fun. And now we are older, full of responsibilities and no time to keep in touch; I am truly sorry for that. May your family find the peace of God during this time. Your cousin Bonnie Roberts (Sewell)

Thank you everyone for all of the support we have all recieved. Dan was lucky to have all of the friends he had. A part of me has died in losing my brother. He honestly was my best friend. He always bragged about his family, but we were the ones who truly had someone to brag about. he was the best human being and I will miss him.
rest peacefully with Dad and Gary and put a good word in for me with God.

I was so saddened to read today that Dan had passed. I saw him just before Christmas and we chatted for a few minutes. My heart goes out to his family...Tim, Kim, Kathy, Kris and their mother. I'm so heartbroken for his children, Chelsea and Myles. I've known Dan for over 20 years and I will pray for peace for him and his family and friends tonight.

Today I awoke to findout that I have one less friend on this Earth. I remember back when we were much younger Dan and played baseball together. Young kids looking to the future and what it has to offer. We have all taken different journeys since then. I hope that your new journey will bring you happiness and that your children and family will know that your looking down on us with that classic "Clint Eastwood" smile!

I hope to see you again someday Dan.

Dan will be missed by all His family and Friends.
It will be the little things that you will remenber the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now it will be the memories of these little things that help us push away the pain and bring the smiles back again. I love you Dan. Say hi to Uncle Marion for me.
With loving memories your cousin Pam

To all of Dans family,
Dan was such a fun loving guy and will forever be missed. He had such a great personality and could make anyone laugh with the things that he said. Dan loved his family and was so proud of his kids. Everytime I talked to him he bragged about his kids and Tammie. I know that his brother was his best friend and he enjoyed their time together. He loved you all very much. He may not be here with you anymore, but there is no doubt he is watching over you all from heaven. You are all in my thoughts and prayers!
