He could fix anything and loved computers. He loved the Lord, and always strived to protect his witness to others. He was a firm believer that you should treat others as you would like to be treated. He was a fighter who beat three rounds of cancer. His family would like to thank everyone at Cancer Treatment Centers of America that loved and cared for him during his battle. Dan was currently employed with Willbros USA Engineers and words cannot adequately express the family’s thanks and gratitude for the outpouring of love and prayers, and the many hours of vacation time that was donated to sustain him during this battle.
