Connie and family, I was saddened to see this. I remember you and he first dating, then also Danielle was in our Stacy class for awhile.  My sympathy to all the family.  Prayers and hugs, so grateful he found his Lord too.   He was a blessed child of God.   


I just found out about Dan's passing.  It doesn't seem real that he's gone. 
 Dan and I hit it off the first time I met him back in 06'. I always looked forward to shoeing day after meeting him. We've traded cowboy stories, and life lessons many times , who couldn't love listening to Dan talk about his wonderful life. I love the story of how he and Connie got together.  He loved her and his family for sure.
  This was one of the toughest men I've ever known in my life, yet he could be gentle as a kitten. He was there for me alot the last couple of years as a friend and a mentor. He prayed with me and for me many times,  I confided in Dan and he never judged me.  I will truly miss my friend. Even though I'm heartbroken over your death, I know you are with God.  
 Oh , I will take good care of ole Jewell. 
I look forward to seeing you again one day.
Your Friend,
Keith House

Not even sure when I start...I don’t know how to miss you because you were always there...missing you is the hardest thing I have ever had to do!!  Your were the dad who was always hard  on us because you knew  we would be adults one day and wanted us to be the best we could be  but still loved  us with everything you had to give!!  I watched you transform. from an amazing man to a man of god and it was a transformation like no other!! I miss you so much and I don’t know how to be a daughter without her dad!!! Your heart, your strength, your  guidance will get me through the rest of my life but forever know my heart is broken without you and I will forever miss you!! 


It’s hard to put into words what he meant to me.   Grandpa always made the time to sit down and talk to me; we discussed how life was going and what the future looked like for me and the rest of the family. He was always eager to give advice about school, faith, and  life in general. After every single conversation we had, Grandpa would be sure to say that he loved me and all of the grandchildren more than we’ll ever know. I wish you were with us, but I know what you’re experiencing right now is far better than anything on this earth. I love you gooder

Daddy and Dad
Those two words say everything I can’t and have a lifetime of  memories attached to them. You were all that God intended those two words to ever be ...I love and miss you. 

I had the honor of working with Dan from 1980-1982.  I loved sneaking to his back corner office to hear his stories. To be truthful, at first he intimidated me but under that tough exterior I could see his gentle heart.  His laugh was infectious and that killer mustache was envied by so many!  It was always a joy when his lovely wife came into work to see him as well.  It’s been a joy and heartbreaking to follow his journey on social media.  I always told Rick that when we retire we were taking a road trip to go see you both.  My only regret is that I didn’t get to know the “new Dan.”  His love for his family and his new faith was evident.  Although, I always knew that rough and tough cowboy had the kindest of hearts.  My heart breaks for all of you.  His funeral was a beautiful testimony of how he must have touched so many hearts and lives.  I wish I could have talked to Dan about Jesus our Savior, although I know one day I will.  Connie, you and your girls  you have our deepest sympathy.  Thinking of all of you and praying for comfort.  

On our 3rd date we talked about the house we would one day live in together.
We met in January 1971  have been together ever since .. 50 years being side by side. ... horses were always a part of you ... then us , then  Jeni and Danielle’s life .. the wild rodeo days, the ropings, the horse shows, the cuttings, ... every weekend  and the girls and I always included and the fun and and memories they have growing up. Then the grandkids came and they were around the horses and the barn and the chores too.
Your hands..... the work they did .. breaking and training horses, breeding and  foaling times, you were so gentle rubbing the mares necks during their labor..
Your hands when shoeing... I can see you holding the hoof, the knife, the rasp.. the hammer... 
I can hear the hammer hitting the anvil, I can smell the forge and feel it’s heat ..
You made a living working with horses just like you told your dad you would when you were a teen.. 
I’m proud of you and the life you lived . 
God became your savior at age 49 and our wonderful fun marriage became even better.... stronger... and guided by God.  Your physical strength was unreal to me at times.. holding on  to the young horses when training them to shoeing thru the cancers, chemos, and surgeries..
But the strongest I’ve EVER seen you was the first time I saw you on your knees by our bed praying  ... 
I have no words for how I miss you .. the little things like getting you a popsicle, making you an egg sandwich... making sure you had some Tabasco...and last but not least.  holding hands.  
God promises that as a Christian I will be in heaven also one day.  See you then Dan. I love you 





So many memories I don’t know where to start…
I remember when you all came to Idaho. We were driving up to McCall, I think. We were in an old pick-up. Uncle Dan was driving and I think Matt and Terri were in the front with him. Mark and I were in the bed of the truck with a blanket over our heads. I remember looking through the back window at one point in time and seeing a candy bar being passed between the three of them. I knocked on the window as to say, “Hey…What about us?” I remember him passing it out the window. I think that’s my earliest memory. 
My most precious ones are more recent. 
Being able to be in Georgia with all of you, going to North Carolina for the horse show was amazing.
On our way through South Carolina we stopped for fuel and food. After eating Dan went to fuel the truck and I went to the bathroom. When I closed the stall door there was a hand written note taped to the door and it read, 
“Due to poor water pressure, please use plunger to flush the commode!” You could hear the southern accent in the hand writing. As I was walking to the truck there was a guy who whistled at me. I told Uncle Dan about all of this. 
He laughed and told me I was in South Carolina and the guy who whistled at me didn’t recognize me as a family member so he felt it was safe to whistle. 
I will never forget being able to ride the horses with him while in Georgia and all the funny jabs back and forth between the two of us. Talking to him on the phone and joking back and forth. I will miss that so much but there are so many memories he will never be forgotten. 
For the longest time I couldn’t look at him without seeing my Dad. They looked so much alike it was as if I was able to bring him back and spend time with him. 
Thank you Uncle Dan for all of your love and support! As Aunt Connie would say, “I’ll see you tomorrow!” Because I will never say, “Good Bye!” 
Love Dona Rose

Dan was the farrier for our daughter Katie and son in law Billy at Billy Korsack Show Horses. We live in California but came to know Dan through our many visits to Georgia. Dan was a good man, friend and gentleman who was always quick with a story and a twinkle in his eyes. A big part of our visits will be missing when we come to Georgia. Rest easy friend. 

The first time I met Cassie’s grandparents was in middle school. It had to be summer because I had on flip flops. I remember going to Connie and Dan’s house for dinner and showing him how I can cross my toes and spread them out. He thought that was the CRAZIEST thing. To this day I can’t tell if he was just being funny about it or if he really thought it was cool because he couldn’t do it. We laughed about it all night. This family is truly amazing. Thank you for everything! 

Dan .... I miss him  with a heartache that  is new to me. He said  Not long ago that he hoped he would die first... That he didn’t want the hurt of losing me... and  God  allowed that to take place . 
It’s only been 6 days and it’s so many 
Little things that trigger the tears... 
sitting on the porch and not hearing  that hammer hit the anvil, or the forge running.. his cap and keys on the table...Packing his  cooler For the truck 
His faith and  daily walk with the Lord 
Was easy to watch...   prayerfully I can try and attain the level of faith and commitment that he had during his struggles 
Looking thru his bible I began reading verses he had underlined and found this 

psalms 118..v 28.. 
You are my God and I will  praise you .
You are my God  and I will Exalt you 
Dan you surely did.  I love you 



I first remember Dan Larimer when I was 9 years old!! Connie brought him to the house, I thought wow  I know Connie’s going to fall in love with him!!! Well little did we  know what a Love Story this would turn out to be!!! I feel so honored to have been his sister in law!!  He loved his wife Connie sooo much! His commentment to the  Lord gave him the strength to take on his journey, during that journey his children and their families have followed suit!! Prayers for all and that the Lord continues to give Connie , Jeni, Dani and their families strength at this time!! 

Dan was one of the best farriers around. He loved to share his knowledge and I was lucky enough to learn a few things from him. Im really going to miss going with him to help shoe the horses. Connie if you need anything me and lauren are here for you. Gonna miss you old friend. 

We are sorry for the loss of a great, strong man. Uncle Dan, you will be missed deeply. As a child we went on a long road trip to see the family in Georgia. I remember Uncle Dan showing us kids (the nephews) around the horses stables. It was a very cool experience, and one I will never forget. 
Love Always, Chris and Pam Sellars

Dan, 
What a wonderful Christian man he was. No matter where we were he always wanted to see Carter and watch her play. I’m beyond thankful to have known Dan as my grandfather in law and was able for him to marry Cassie and I. We love and miss you. Stay safe and continue throughout the beautiful meadow.

Dan was a good man.  I have known him for a long time. I use to do hay with him. I called him one day asked him if I should cut the hay because there was a small chance of rain and he told me to cut it because he didn't think it was going to rain. It rained almost 2 inches that night after I cut it. . I called him the next day and he said he didn't think it was going to rain that much and he told me that  it wasn't my fault for getting it wet. He said it was his fault for telling me to cut it. 

Connie and family, we are so sorry for your loss. Sending our love and  Hugs your way during this time.  We are here for you !! Kim Miller and Cathy Head 

Jeni & family, 
I was saddened to hear that your father passed away. 
I will be praying for you and all your family. 


Dan was our farrier for 36 years . but most of all he was our friend and a brother in Christ. We loved Dan, I especially loved to here him sing, didn't even know he could sing for a long time. When he sang the lead part in the song " Im A Soldier In The Army Of The Lord" It was so powerful. Now he is part of that Heavenly Host worshiping our King along with Pastor Doug, Jimmy Day, WOW WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BE! He truly loved you Connie and all his family. 

Dan I sure hope you’re riding high , I hear the trails are awesome in heaven. Going to miss my chemo buddy.

Oh how this wonderful  man will be missed. I only knew him for a few years, but he was a wonderful Christian man. He had a great sense of humor and it always felt like you could talk to him like you had been friends a lifetime. I’m thankful to God for bringing Dan and Connie into our lives. We were blessed to have him marry my son Matthew and Cassie and it was such a blessing for him too.  God does work in mysterious ways and will always feel blessed when I remember him. We will all miss him so much. My husband was diagnosed with cancer and Dan and him were together quite a few times and always stirred the place up when they were getting their treatments, and always had a good sense of humor and kept everyone laughing.  He was a true blessing and will forever be remember.  RIP ❤️

I remember when Dan and Connie came to Grace BC - it felt as if I had known them forever.  They jumped right in and seemed to always be working and making things happen.  When they were looking for their new home, Connie was always the one to call or contact me.  BUT, one Sunday morning at 6:45, I received a text message from Dan.  He was telling me a house they really liked was back on the market, and he said, "I want it!"  I am so thankful God made that happen for him.  Dan's love for Connie and his family was evident at all times, as was his steadfast faith and patient endurance as he ran a very difficult race these last few years.  It was a true blessing to call Dan my friend and brother-in-Christ.  My thoughts and prayers are with this precious family. May you always treasure the incredible legacy Dan left for you - a life well-lived, a Savior well-served, and a family well-loved.  

I don’t know where to begin.  Dan was my baby brother for 68 years and so loved all of those 68 years.  I watched him grow thru so many phases of his life from a little boy to a rambunctious teenager and then into a young man who loved horses, roping, rodeos and having a good time.  Then one day a pretty young lady came into his life and he became a great husband and soon a loving father, grandfather and finally a great grandfather.
He told me once after Carter was born there was no feeling like being  a great grandfather❤️.  Most of all I remember when he told me he had accepted Jesus into his heart.  From the day he did that he never faltered in his obedience to Christ.  I love you baby brother and will always miss you til one day we meet again❤️❤️❤️

I have a lot of good memories with uncle Dan.  Growing up hanging out with him on the farm working with the horses, learning to rope and going to jackpot ropings with him.  Spending time with Dan and Tom growing up were highlights.  Getting roped by Dan and Tom wasn’t as fun, but it was a good memory :)   When they told ya to run you were better of standing still. :)  He will be missed. 

For the last 20+ years, Dan took care of my horses, especially Brass-my current 38 yr old gelding. He would call Brass a grumpy old man, but Dan is the reason he is still alive today. The time that Dan put into caring for him & checking on him was priceless. The bonus to this care was the time spent with Dan talking about the world today and knowing Christ. I relayed for Dan & Cade and I still fundraise for cancer research. God bless Dan’s family & friends-Dan will be missed dearly.

As long as I can remember, I always wanted him to be the one to marry my future husband and I. November 7, 2020, he made that dream come true.  He always set a great example on how a husband should be; kind, caring, strong, but most of all, God driven. He taught everyone he came in contact with the importance of knowing Jesus Christ. Him and my grandmother showed us the true meaning of what family is, and what they do for each other. No matter what time it was, or what he was doing, if you called, he would be there for you in a heartbeat. He was the center of our family, and there will forever be a part of our hearts that is missing. There is nothing in this world I wouldn’t give to get one more hug and have one last conversation with him. We love you forever and always, Grandpa.

I am honored to have known and learned from Dan. He helped teach me to shoe horses, and spent many a hour working with me on training both the horses and myself. He taught me a lot about both horses and life in general, unfortunately I don't have photos but the memories of the years of friendship will live on forever in my heart and soul. I am so thankful to have called you my friend. You will be forever remembered and missed. Keep check on the herd my FRIEND..

I didn’t know Dan for very long but for the time that I did get to be around him he was one to always make sure you left with a smile on your face. He was a very godly man and lived for Jesus. He is now dancing with him with no pain.  Dan you will be truly missed. You and Connie were such amazing people and I loved y’all like my own family. 

Remember working for Dan and sliding down that darn hill going from the barn to get a mare when it was raining. Dan would laugh when I came back in at all the red mud coating my backside. We all had a good time working hard getting the horses ready for breeding. He taught me a lot. The family included my family and were good to Nichole and the rest of us the whole time we were in Georgia and we have kept in touch since we returned to Texas. I am sorry that he has left this world but know he is now without pain now and enjoying Heaven and we will all be together someday with him. Connie and the family had a wonderful life with him and know how much they were loved by a man that was loved and honored by many.

Danny was my brother-in-law’s (Chuck) best friend in high school. Those 2 always had mischievous grins, double FUN trouble!! Danny was a great guy!! Soo young & so sorry for your loss! Hugs & prayers to ALL family.

Dan was our dear friend. He had a wonderful sense of humor. He was such a giant in the faith. He never missed an opportunity to share his faith and tell whoever would listen about Jesus. He loved his family and once said he missed Connie as soon as they parted ways every morning. What a beautiful love story, and what a life well lived.  Our hearts are broken and we can’t imagine life without him, but we know we will see him again. We know where he is and can only imagine the happy reunions that have already taken place in Heaven. We love you Cowboy!  Eddie and Victoria

Connie and family, we were very saddened to learn of Dan's home going. The thing we can rejoice in is that we know where he is today.  Dan was the kind of person that just made you feel like friends from the first time you met him. And he was that a special friend to us. I am sad that time and distance, and life changes caused us to not talk like we did at one time. But you and Dan were always special to us. Dan loved to talk horses. I know God will comfort you but I also know you are missing him so much.  Cherish the memories.
