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…

Patti and family……You have our deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband and father, Dan. Never really met him but when he worked in Onida we would see him daily going to and from work, as well as Patti going to and from work at BankWest. Sincerely, The Brights
Patti, We have never met, I am Dannny’s second cousin, Melody. Your Mother in law Sharon is both my cousin and my friend. Please let me express my sadness at your loss, words escape me, but my heart is holding all of you snug, and my prayers are begging that you all can pull together and some how get through this, even if that proves to be just “1” day at a time. Love and all the support I can send to you for the road ahead…Melody
