Dan was born Nov. 16, 1969, in Ottawa. He was a 1987 graduate of Marseilles High School and graduated in 2006 from Western Illinois University with a bachelor's degree.

Dan was employed with Fiserv, a financial services technology company in Alpharetta, Ga. as a senior systems engineer. His humor and drive made him a valuable asset to the company he worked for. Prior to his job at Fiserv he consulted for different companies driving across the United States in his convertible with his cat as his traveling companion.

He loved going to places and being the "tourist" to see historical sites. Dan enjoyed cooking, laughing and sharing with friends. He will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him.
