From his brother:
Honestly I don't think Dan planned on leaving us all too soon. Yeah he had some problems with his diabetes and his heart. "Are you ok?" "YEAH, NO PROBLEM, I GOT THIS". standard Dan answers. Well on November 17th Dan went home a little early from work. Not feeling well he said. Well when Dan didn't show or call out for work on Monday the red flags went up. He also hadn't turned in his paperwork or time log, quite unlike Dan. His coworkers went to meet him then called the police dept. For a welfare check. That's where they found Dan sitting in his radio/computer room. See Dan was a HAM radio operator and had been for years. He was sitting at his consoles just tipped back in his chair gone. I know he was not thinking this was happening. He left our lives that day the coroner will tell you it was November 20, 2017 but that is semantics.
