A simple and quiet man, Dan always focused on his loved ones and his many interests. He was married to the love of his life, Larline, for 43 blessed years. Together, they found the perfect place in Kaufman and transformed it into a cherished family home. Dan took immense pride in building his barn and horse stalls, where he enjoyed spending time with his dogs and horses. He had a passion for the Dallas Stars and Dallas Cowboys and loved racing, hunting, and working on cars. He was never one to sit still; he always had a project on his mind, whether it was something big or small.
