Dan was born in Calgary and grew up in an army family. He's lived in Germany and spent quite a bit of his growing up years in Chilliwack, BC before coming back to Calgary.

Dan enjoyed many different careers including Timber Cruising, Bartending and Waitering at the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club and the Princess Patricia Cruise Lines before embarking on a long career in Electrical Sales.

Dan was a kind hearted person that loved the great outdoors, camping brought him great enjoyment. He cherished traveling Alberta in his RV and was proud to be able to fulfil a lifetime dream of owning a little cabin in the woods.

Dan was quick to make friends, and kept in touch with many of his elementary pals throughout his life. There was always a friendly face no matter where you went in Alberta or BC someone would recognize Dan and stop for a chat. He also loved a good laugh and had a great sense of humour.

Dan had a soft spot for animals, and rescued many cats and dogs throughout his life. He had fond memories and lots of stories about all the pets he owned from his childhood where he had a Beagle named Bobby, to other animal companions he picked up throughout his life such as Tia, Angel, Marshmallow, and Misty.
