Dan was a member of Cullowhee United Methodist Church for nearly sixty years, where his church family was nearly as important to him as his own much-loved family. Indeed, his deep faith galvanized his commitment to his work: Dan felt “called” by God to environmental stewardship, and feeling our beautiful natural world to be a gift from God-one that we must cherish and protect, never exploit-encouraged others to join him in his abiding love of all nature, and share his mission to protect it.
Dan’s Celebration of Life will be held at Cullowhee United Methodist Church on October 12th at 2 p.m. The dress is casual. Following the service, there will be a memorial hike in Nodding Trillium Garden. Due to limited parking, the church will provide transportation.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to any charity or non-profit mentioned in his obituary––or, if you can, offer a gift of your time.
