Dan was a thoughtful, humble and completely competent coworker and friend who will be very sorely missed by us all at Love Box. Without exception, Dan was always ready and willing to lend a hand to anyone needing help … and it was always a pleasure [even an honor] to work side by side with him. I sorrow to realize now that we did not help Dan as much as he helped us. Nobody will be able to fill the void left behind after Dan’s departure. But his parting gift to us is the same gift he so often gave us when he was with us … a strong and steady reminder of our mission in this often painful world: to love and help one another at all times without complaining. We look forward to helping Zane and Savanna move closer to their goals in the years ahead as Dan certainly wished for them to do. with all our love to all Dan’s loved ones, Bob & Nancy Love
David, We are so sorry for the loss of your brother. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Take care, Joretta and Donovan
Denise, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
Dan was a great neighbor and wonderful, loving father. He and the kids were always seen walking on the street talking to the neighbors. Dan was the connecting point for us all – knew everyone on the block. My heart goes out to Denise, Zane and Savanna. Teajai Kimsey
I worked with Dan at Love Box. He was always a pleasure to work with on projects. He wanted to make sure everything was done right and correct. May God bless you and your family. Isaiah 61:3 -Bryan Edwards
Kyle & I had the great privilege of working with Dan at Love Box Company (Kyle more than I.) We were both rocked by the news and flooded with memories of a gentle, fun-loving man. Kyle remembers Dan’s desire to get the job done right for each and every customer. There were so many characteristics in Dan that we admired. We are praying for your family in these days! (Romans 12:15b)
Dan, My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your wife and children. I am so glad I was able to get to know as fine a man as you. I enjoyed working with you and I will miss you. Much love, Tom
Denise, Zane & Savanna, Our hearts go out to you, We love you all! Dan was a blessing, fun and witty, an awesome husband, father, neighbor, and friend. He will be greatly missed! We are here for you, anytime day or night. lots of love, The Fisher Family
Denise – I am so so very sorry to hear about Dan. More like ‘in shock’. Know that my heart goes out to you and your two beautiful children. I am here for you if you need ANYTHING! With deepest sympathy, Marty Heilmann – Krystle and Garret’s mom. Your old neighbor.
Denise and family, Dan was a hard working, loyal, loving and kind person. He will be truely missed and never forgotten. If you were ever to need anything at all you know how to contact me. All my love, Darrin Leibham
