John Wever (Vivi), and their children Blaine and Annika and Kelly Wever Alvarado (Marty), and their children Steele, Raven and Ireland. His sister Jonnalou Carvajal, nieces Danyse and Leannette, and his beloved German Shepard, Zenyatta, also survive him. Dan’s hobbies and interests were as colorful as his personality. He was an avid fan of horse racing and enjoyed following the Cleveland Browns and the Cleveland Guardians, despite the former’s performance woes. Known for his great sense of humor, he found joy in engaging with spam callers daily, turning a nuisance into a source of laughter. His days were brightened by the achievements and stories of his grandchildren, whom he adored immensely. In accordance with his wishes, no services will be held. Dan’s memory will be cherished by the many lives he touched with his humor,

love, and dedication. He is preceded in death by many beloved family members and friends, and it is comforting to imagine the joyful reunion he is having with them now.
