  1. Although I did not know Dan, my friendship with his mother, Sharon Hites, always made me feel as if I did. While all of you–mother, wife (Patti), children, brothers, and grandfather–are suffering an almost unbearable loss of a loved one, I hope the knowledge that Dan is now in God’s magical kingdom with his true father the Lord brings some level of comfort to all those that loved him.

    May Dan rest in peace…
