He attended school in Garwin. He was united in marriage to Marie Weber. From this union two children were born: Randy Daniel and Beth. The two later divorced. Dan was blessed to unite in marriage to Nancy Collins. From this union four children were born: Bob, Brian, Brenda and Brandon. Dan and Nancy did also divorce but always remained close.
