Dana attended and received his B.A. degree in Comparative Literature from the Univ. of Southern California in 1973. He earned his J.D. degree at Northwestern School of Law of Lewis & Clark College, Class of 1977. He was a member of the Alumni Board at Lewis & Clark, and was very involved with law school alumni affairs.
Dana entered private law practice upon graduating from law school. In 2003 he joined the firm of Duffy Kekel LLP. He specialized in federal and state litigation, including income tax, tax audits, administrative tax appeals, and other commercial litigation. He was a member of the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates, and was a tireless litigator on behalf of special-needs children.
A man with a large and boisterous appetite for life, possessing an ever present grin, sharing great bear hugs and hail and hearty laughter, Dana lived life to the fullest.
One of the major passions in his life was adventurous, intrepid and exotic travel to the far reaches of the earth. In 1971, inspired by the film "Easy Rider," he traveled from Los Angeles to Nova Scotia and back by motorcycle. Later he navigated by canoe the Missouri route of the Lewis & Clark expedition. Shortly before his death he explored Tibet and China, traveling with his life's companion, Cindy.
Among his other joys were his many friends; intense devotion to the law; photography; sailing; and sampling and experiencing as many of the world's beers as he could.
He is survived by his wife Cindy, daughters Erin K. and Paige G. Botnik, son Adam and sons Jesse and Lucas Dyer, brother Sean, sister Tamera N. Wexler, and parents Dr. Terrance N. and Joan L. Taylor.
