Dan graduated from Hart High School in 1957. He then attended Michigan State University, graduating in 1961. Dan married Sondra Tate of Hart in 1962. They lived in several states, due to promotions and transfers through his work in sales for thirty-five years with Kraft General Foods.

Dan enjoyed sports and followed the Detroit Tigers, Lions, and of course, Michigan State football and basketball wherever they lived. Whenever in Michigan during the summer months, Dan enjoyed playing in the Pentwater Civic Band. For many years, Dan was with Prison Fellowship where he led Bible study for prisoners. In recent years, he had mentored men who have been released.

Dan was always active in church no matter where they were living. He was also a member of The Gideons International. Dan was forever seeking to share Jesus.
