Daniel Lee Fletcher, died Mach 26, 2006 after an extended illness.
Born February 9, 1924 in Fort Worth, he grew up and lived most of his life in Houston, moving to Bryan in 1979. In 1942, he and his older brother, Alfred, enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. Dan saw extensive action, first as part of the Marine contingent aboard the USS Salt Lake City (CA 25) 1943-1944, during the Battle of the Komandorskis, then with the 6th Marines of the 2nd Marine Division during the Solomon Islands Campaign, and finally the invasions of Tarawa and Saipan.
Following his wartime service, Dan became a Houston firefighter, spending over 31 years in the Houston Fire Department including service as an arson investigator and in fire prevention and public education. After his retirement in 1979, he operated a successful restaurant service business in Bryan with his business partner and valued friend, R.E. Thomas. Dan was a straight arrow whose word was his bond, and he dearly loved his country.
Surviving is his wife, Robbie L. Fletcher; daughters Sherry L. Fletcher and Ouida L. Roberts; son Robert D. Fletcher and wife, Denise; 8 grandchildren, two great grandchildren, and numerous loved ones related both in blood and in friendship.
A heart felt thanks by his family to all of those who spent countless hours with Dan over these difficult months, particularly nephew, Charles and wife, Jeanette; and Junior and Ella Mae Thomas. He so appreciated your love. Finally, special appreciation and respect to the fine people at Hospice Brazos Valley and to the Bryan Fire Department EMS for the loving care you provided, especially Laura Richardson and Emily Rhodes.
Memories may be made to the non-profit Hospice Brazos Valley, 502 W. 26th Street, Bryan, TX 77803.
