Dan's faith was the most important thing to him. He was a faithful member of the Church of Christ that meets at Bumpus Mills, and his life reflected his deep love for God, his commitment to worship, and his desire to serve others.

Dan was a devoted husband, father, poppa, brother, uncle, nephew, and friend. He was a man who loved his family dearly, was known for his love of music and his talent for fiddling. In 2016 he was awarded as the Grand-Champion Fiddle Player for the State of Tennessee. Music was a special part of Dan's life, and for 50 years he faithfully served as a song leader at the Church of Christ that meets at Bumpus Mills, where his voice and love for worship touched generations of those around him.

Dan was also a retired tobacco farmer who took great pride in his work and in the life, he built through years of hard work and dedication. He believed deeply in serving his community and served on the Board at Farm Bureau for 25 years, where he was respected for his dedication and willingness to give his time to others.
