He was a storyteller, a protector, and the kind of man who made you feel safe just by being near. To know Dan was to know loyalty, laughter, and unconditional love. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. A celebration of life will be held to honor the man who meant so much to so many. His legacy will live on in the stories we tell, the traditions we keep, and the love he poured into his family. Date TBD.
