A decorated veteran, a man of unbreakable faith, humor, spontaneity and love; Dan suffered through sixteen months of a rare and aggressive cancer. Forty years earlier while serving his country in Vietnam never was there a thought that the defoliant Agent Orange he and many others were exposed to; would have him fighting for his life once again.

Always trusting God with the promise that, "Tomorrow Will Be Better"_ he deeply believed there was a mission to be accomplished. Through the tragic turns in a beautiful journey of life; more blessings were received than disappointments experienced. Surrounded by God appointed strangers, supported with divinely delivered scriptures and blessed with miraculous interventions, the journey and his mission were fulfilled.
