I'm shocked and deeply saddened and at a bit of a loss for words. The world is a lesser place without him. RIP Dan....

This is definitely not a post I wanted to read first thing in the morning . :shock:
I have nothing but respect for the man .
His wit and knowledge will be absent here . And we as a forum are at a loss for it .
Rest in Peace Dan

So sorry to hear about Dan. I pray his family gets through the tragedy with strong faith knowing he is in Heaven.
Mike, sorry for the loss of your friend. The forum members will miss him terribly.
RIP Dan

That's terrible. Never met Dan but always had a lot of respect for him. He had a warmth about him that made him a friend-from-a-distance,

My condolences to this family and friends.

I wish I could have met him. From all the posts, it sounds like he was a very giving , caring person. His being a Christian helps reduce the sting of anyone's passing. I'm sorry for all of your loss.

I am heartbroken to hear this. Dan was the first kindness I experienced when I decided to get into crossbows. He always gave me the best advice and was my mentor. I wish I knew half as much as he did about crossbows. I will NEVER forget him.

Oh No Say it is not so! We talked a bit and met him in person. I have a heavy heart today because of this. We have to live everyday as if it is our last because one never knows when your time is up. We as bikers have at least one close call every summer with cars that don't see us bikers. RIP my friend. We will ride together someday on the other side of pearly gates.

Edited to add this.
I will think of Dan every time I shoot my 18 in 1 he brought up to Boofest for me two years ago.
