Dan was a 1978 graduate of Jefferson City High School. In his high school days he was a member of the Jays Concert and Marching Band. He was a natural athlete; he was on the swim team, played baseball, golf, won a Cole County Arm Wrestling Championship and was on bowling leagues.
He worked for Keating Construction, Modine and most recently at Alpla. Dan loved his house on the Maries River, his pets, hanging out with his friends and family, fishing, hunting, watching birds, going to concerts, bowling and playing the lottery. He always told his mom “When I win the lottery, I’m taking you to Rome”. Dan was a kind and gentle man and will be greatly missed by his family and many friends.
