Dan was a retired truck driver, he made many friends along the way and was loved by all. Dan never met a dog he didn’t pet. He spent the last 10 years as a volunteer at the Pet Advocate League and Nomad Unit, helping Dr. Laura Miller care for all of the furry friends he loved. His love for animals included his two dogs, Agnes & Ike, and his kitties. The family would like to give a special thank you to Teresa, Casey, Pamela, and especially to his nurse Jolene. Dan wanted to have a celebration of his life where his friends gather together telling "Dan" stories and listening to bluegrass and country music. We will miss him dearly!
