Dana, known to many as Bull, was a simple man with a great love for his family and his friends. He was generous and loyal to a fault. He was tough but had a huge heart, especially for children and animals. Alongside his family, he worked in the logging and timber business for many years as a truck driver and heavy equipment operator. He loved to tinker with engines and could fix things that seemed unfixable. Dana had a passion for the outdoors. He enjoyed riding four wheelers, motorcycles and inherited his mother’s love for fishing. He loved to spend time with his family and friends. Later in life, he enjoyed raising cattle, a garden and tending his land. His genuine smile and ability make you laugh when no one else could, will be just a few of the special things those who love him will miss.
