He joined three sisters at that time and then a little later he was joined by yet another sister. Being the only boy was difficult, but he was spoiled and very much loved by his four sisters.

He married the love of his life, Jill Tschetter on May 26,1990. They were married for almost 27 years. Jill sadly passed away on March 29, 2017. Dan never truly recovered from losing her.
Dan was co-owner of Huron Garage Door Company since 1992 with his partner Todd Johnson. Anyone that knew Dan knew that he was always willing to help anyone. He was very soft spoken but had a big, kind heart.
He enjoyed camping, fishing, and going to football games and spending time with family and friends.
He was Dad to Derek and Papa to Ashlyn Rae, the apple of his eye. His nieces and nephews loved him dearly.
