My wife and I were privileged and blessed to have known Dan and his wife, Marcia,  for many years.  Dan was one that not only professed his love for the Lord but lived such that he exemplified such love. We, as many others,  were saddened when  we heard of his death. but we also knew that he would no longer suffer with the pain that he had endured for many years.  He is now gracing the halls of Heaven as is my wife, who left for Heaven two plus years ago. Our prayers and our thoughts are with Marcia and the members of the family.

Of the many memories, I have of my father, one stands out from my boyhood. During the period of  my young life when I seemed constantly to be in trouble for breaking items in the house and causing general mischief, Dad pulled me into his lap and assured me that he loved me and that my boyhood trials would end and that all would be well. 
His faith in Jesus Christ was not simply a part of his life but the very basis and foundation of it. There is no greater gift than  to be shown the path that leads to Life by godly parents. I am so very grateful to have had him for my father.

May his memory be eternal.

Dad you were always my bigger than life hero. I vividly recall watching a car roll off the ramps and over your chest or putting your arm into the side of our garage. But more than physical stature you had a hero’s heart. You made us all better by cheering us on, loving us unconditionally and showing us the heart of Christ. You could have left us no bigger legacy than your authentic faith. I will never stop trying to make you proud by following in some big footprints. I am blessed to be your son! All my love until we meet again.

My biggest memory is of the love he had for everyone. His kids, grandkids, friends, even people he didn't know. The love he had for grandma was tremendous. I recall a photo of him when they were younger holding her up on his shoulders showing off his strength.  To this day I picture the two of them on the sky ride at the amusement park. His arm around her and the biggest smile on his face. I will miss his love but I know it's not gone. It has been passed onto us to share with everyone they way he did.

Not any specific memory,  just many memories.  I remember many of the stories that you have shared with me growing up in Quitman and mostly the farming stories with  you and your brother.  The stories of you and Marcia and the kids.  The stories of you at Chevrolet with my uncles.  I remember the stories but I cherished the way you told  them.  
                   Love you and Marcia.
