He greeted children with the same warmth and kindness he showed everyone he met. His smile and laughter were truly contagious, lifting the hearts of everyone around him.

A devoted member of Pleasant View Baptist Church, Dan loved his church family deeply. He taught Sunday School for many years and loved sharing what he learned, teaching with warmth and sincerity that reflected the way he lived his faith.
