He was a life member of the Big River VFW Post in Cedar Hill. 

Dan enjoyed cooking delicious meals for his family, listening to Blues music, drinking sweet tea and in his younger years he enjoyed hunting but as he grew older, he started to enjoy taking photos of the wildlife.  Dan was a “jack of all trades” and a “Mr. Fix It”. He was very realistic and direct person but big on telling jokes.  He was a collector and a model train enthusiast with his room known as Big D’s Railroad.  His greatest joy was spending time with his family especially on the Fourth of July holiday.
