Dan (Marine Dan) as he was affectionately known was loved by everyone who was blessed to have crossed paths with him in life. He was a fighter and did not give up on his dreams to always better himself and the lives of those around him. Dan's smile and upbeat attitude was infectious to all. True American Warrior, I smile to have many great memories of Marine Dan. My deepest sympathies go out to his family. Till we meet again Brother...
