Wow. Spent the day thinking about how I've only got a week left until I take my "Christmas Break" and trying to decide what to do with my time. Then I read about this. Really puts things in perspective.

Rest In Peace Dan. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Wow this is very shocking, never met the man but had great conversations in regards performance upgrades on his Z06.

Godspeed Dan... RIP.

Wow.....reminder to us all to live for today, cherish your family and friends and hold no grudges....

Dan and I had our disagreements over the years, but I'm glad we always mended them and kept on being social. His perspectives, input and presence will be sorely missed.

May he rest in peace....

Speechless. I really enjoyed reading his post. Whether it was the Vet, trips to Hawaii, diesel trucks, boats, etc. they were all fun. The won "pun intended" I enjoyed the most had to be when hit for 6 digits on a slot machine. I'm glad he was able to use some of that money for his daughter's wedding. I'm sure that was a special time for both him and his daughter. Dan will be missed here for sure.

RIP Dan! :(

We are lucky to have lost so few in our pursuit of a common Hobbie, but it’s hard see happen, even if you’ve never met face to face...

Very sad news. It caused me to go back into my PM's, and review our years long conversation - everything from the weather in Prescott Valley when I visited last December (uhhh 30ish degrees WTF I thought Arizona was warm?) to our wonderful President and the resultant dramatic (but expected) increase in the value of our financial portfolios since last November, to tips on sports cars. Dan lived life as it should be lived. Each day, to the fullest. RIP, Brother.

Sad to hear-- life is to short and it makes you really appreciate your own life and family. To know he was my age really makes you think of how precious life is. I am relatively new to this forum and I didn't converse with him,, condolences to his family and friends... RIP Dan..

So so sad. With all the good things Dan had going on.
Thoughts and prayers to you Dan, and to your family, left behind too soon.

Totally shocked, deepest condolences to his family.

Strange how you never get to meet people but get to know them through the forum, then when bad news strikes you feel the loss, very sad.
