Quite possibly, sports was his favorite. Growing up, he enjoyed playing boot hockey at Burton Park with friends. He was an avid Minnesota Wild fan and loved to cheer on his treasured Minnesota Vikings. He was a fervent football fantasy player who enjoyed statistics and looked forward to Sundays to keep tabs on his players. He also enjoyed fishing and watching classic TV shows like Dragnet.

The Bravest, Strongest, most committed individual I have had the honor of knowing. Dan’s gifts were many and he shared them without pause. His beautiful sentiments and warrior spirit inspired all who came in contact with him. Many challenges were faced and overcome due to Dan’s tremendous “Get it Done” spirit. Dan is a shining star in God’s universe and I am so grateful to have known him.
