It's taken me awhile to write this. You know you were the love of my life, and I yours. No matter what situation we were in we always had each other to lean on. We tried so many times to go our own ways. For over 20 years I have had you in my life. God how I miss you! When you left for CO. You said it was not for good. You will be missed so much Dan, I wish we had made more of the time but we knew each other better than anyone else. We knew the real person behind the one we showed others. My heart goes out to your family and your friends. I loved you and always will. I will treasure the last time we saw each other before you moved. Fly high and free! Till we meet again!

I just learned today that you passed away. I’m so sorry I didn’t know. The tears have been falling all evening. You were one of a kind. We could not see eachother for years then meet up and laugh for hours like we never spent a day apart. The endless stories you told me. Man, I am gonna miss you. Rest easy my friend.

Dearest Dan: My heart is broken to find out your light has left this earth. You were a wonderful friend and confident.  You had the biggest heart and the world has lost a true friend.

My heart hurts to hear your laugh. I will never forget you.

I miss Dan. He was a character. Gruff on the outside, but a genuinely kind man once you got to know him. I was shocked to hear about his passing. My condolences to his family. The world simply won't be the same without his robust laugh.

I was so sad to hear that Dan had passed. I had just talked to him the week before and the news just didn’t seem possible.  Dan was a person of great significance in my life and even after sometimes going long stretches of not staying in touch, we were always able to pick up right where we left off. 
I’ll never forget Dan’s infectious laughter, it could lift even the heaviest heart, turning even the darkest moments into opportunities for shared joy. He sure did have a way of making every moment memorable and I’m so glad I had many moments with him.  My deepest condolences to all who loved him.

Dan was my boss for a while at the community college. He was a fierce champion for our marketing department, but he was anything but fierce with us. He was our friend. We did our work, but but there were plenty of laughs nearly every day--more so on our legendary bowling and boating outings.  He lived a more rowdy life that most people, I suppose, and faced extreme hardship in recent years. Last lunch we had, he said he was turning over a new leaf. However, I'm sure he'd agree with Neil Young: "It's better to burn out than to fade away." Rest in blessed peace, Dan. Prayers for your family.

Dan and I had the opportunity to work together and served together on the staff associate team at MCC. He was always kind and caring and wanted to best for others. He will be greatly missed and I was shocked and saddened to hear the news of his passing. I will be praying for comfort for his friends and family.

Many of us from MCC were very sad to hear of Dan’s passing.  Soon after Dan came to work at MCC, there was a definite uptick in the amount of activity in the south end of the building where the marketing department was located.  I always enjoyed dropping in on Dan to discuss his vision of marketing at MCC and what we needed to do next.  In addition to that, he was a very good dude whose perspective on life was always a little different, but always right on!  We will all miss him.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of those who knew him and enjoyed his ever present humor and his love of football.  Take care, Buddy!

I am in shock when I think about not hearing from Dan.  Even though we haven't worked together for almost 10 years,  he was great about reaching out and connecting and he always made me laugh.   I will never forget when he picked me up in his office and hugged me because we were both so happy about a work accomplishment.   

I laughed so hard when he told me he backed his car into Jackie, the chancellor's  car.  He did the right thing and told her and covered it. 

Rest in peace,  dear friend.

We both loved Dan for so very many years, Jim as the uncle who baby sat him as a rambunctious child, watched him mature and then continued to follow his adventures through the years, and Anne as the aunt who met Dan even before my marriage to Jim, and delighted in his spirit and humor.  Maybe not so much his constant debate at the one time I cared for him as an early adolescent. As an adult, Dan's solicitous care of Grandmother Ruth Harvey - his gentleness and frequent visits- was a joy to behold.  As was his fortitude and hope in life. We know he struggled with health issues in later years, and that he was eager to grab the bull by the horn and continue on.  Dan learned his humor at home; it was also so much a unique part of Dan as he journeyed through life, as was his longing to debate.  We also feel very strongly that God was with him always, and Dan is now totally at peace.

I enjoyed working with Dan and sharing his enthusiasm about MCC politics I really believe the world is going to miss Dan and his enlightened outlooks I know I will

I had the pleasure of working with Dan for several years when he served as Director of Marketing at the Metropolitan Community College. Both noted workaholics, we would often end the day chatting in a mostly empty administration building - and he would always leave me laughing. He was talented, insightful, wickedly witty and a good friend.

My husband and I are both so  so sorry to hear about Dan’s passing .  We both worked with him at the Overland Park Boost Mobile office. He was funny, kind, conversational and had an infectious laugh. He elevated the room with his conversation and engagement . We will miss him  and are so sad that he is gone too soon.  Sending love to his family, and loving thoughts to Dan . All  of our love and friendship to you, Dan .
