Ron and I are saddened to learn your dear husband Dan has passed away. We first met when you lived in your starter house near us with you darling young sons. Dan was a unique and wonderful caring person who gave so willingly to so many. Grateful we knew him. With sincere sympathy. Patricia and Ron Gonder

Marcia and family, We are so very sorry to learn Dan has passed away at such a young age. Among other things, we enjoyed Rotary with Dan. In every encounter he was such a happy, thoughtful, optimistic and enthusiastic person. He was very proud of you, Marcia, and his sons. We hope your good memories will sustain you at this time. We send our deepest sympathy.

Marcia & family, We were shocked and saddened to learn of Dan's passing. I know what a difficult time this must be for you & we want you to know we are keeping you in our thoughts. We hope many happy memories and the love of family and friends sustains you. Wishing you peace and love, Kevin Collins & Sally Stephenson

Marcia and Family, I worked with Dan at Smulekoff's. He was a good man. May he rest in peace. Doug Dyrland

Marcia and family, Terry and I are so sad for your loss. Dan was a wonderful man and he will be sorely missed. We are thinking of all of you and keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Dave and Terry

Dear Marcia, Ben, Michael, and the whole family, My heart goes out to you in your great loss and trials. May Dan rest in peace and you all find peace in your good memories.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, and will always remember Dan's kindness and attendance at family events, both happy and sad. Thinking of you.

Marcia and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I had the privilege of working with Dan with Adtrak employee benefits. Such a wonderful caring man. Keep all your wonderful memories close to your heart in this difficult time.

Dan and I had a wonderful lunch last October remembering our many times together at work and on the Rball court. It was a great time. We agreed to meet again this summer. He added so much to so many in so many ways. He was a true friend. I will miss him. John Ruth

I’m very sorry to read the passing of your beloved Daniel. Please accept my sincere condolences. I have personally felt comforted by the promise made by God of bringing back to life those who sleep in death (1 Thes. 4:14). So be assured that you’ll be able to hug, kiss and talk to Daniel again. He will come back into an Earth free of suffering, sickness and anything that causes us to shed tears of pain (Rev. 21:4). This hope is both sure and firm because Jehovah God cannot lie (Heb. 6:18; Titus 1:2). Is my sincere desire that you can also find comfort in this words during this difficult time for you.

Marcia, Ben, and Michael, I am shocked. I have known Dan since our days at Grant Wood. We even had sleepovers together back in those days. In the years after high school, I saw Dan less frequently but always enjoyed every meeting. Thoughtful, quiet, sincere. We are so sorry for your loss.

Marcia, Ben and Michael, I am so very sorry for the loss of Dan at such a young age. Dan was very helpful and a dear friend to Denny and I. Once again I am so sorry and you all will be in my thoughts and prayers during this time of grieving. Sue Blome.

Marcia, Ben and Michael, You have my deepest sympathies - I'm so sorry for your loss. While working for Dan for over 8 years - I never saw anything but kindness and compassion from him. I still think of Dan every December 3rd - he so loved his special 'birthday meals with his old neighborhood friends from his childhood', I used to tell him that Marcia is a Saint for preparing that same meal each year! Marcia - you helped him keep his childhood memories alive.

Dan was such a vibrant and kind soul. I was honored to know Dan and share time in his loving presence. His tremendous legacy of civic duty is reflected in his amazing son, Ben, and with Ben's beautiful family. Much love to all of the Rogers as you come together to celebrate Dan's life.

I was lucky to meet Dan when he was a senior at WHS and when we served together on a school board committee initiated to address student “unrest” in the early 70' s. His intellect was apparent then and has been reinforced in every meeting since. Even more impactful, however, are his unique and wonderful character traits. Quietly thoughtful, always, he spoke only when he believed he had something to add, yet, I was always left wanting more of his insightful reflections. His compassion for others and the human condition along his special love of family remain forever evident. If fostering light, goodness and love makes for a consequential life, as I believe it does, Dan’s family can live in the solace of his enduring legacy and contribution to humanity.

Ben, Marcia and Mike: Our thoughts are with you and your family. We are very sorry for your loss. Take care. Dan and Anne Strellner

Dan was my friend and a strong community advocate in many ways. We had many occasions to work together, and his focus was always on community betterment. He made a contribution with all his efforts. I join his family in Celebrating his life. We are better because he was here. William C. Jacobson Retired Educator.

To Marcia, Ben & Mike: Please accept our condolences on your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this most difficult time. We hope that comfort and peace come to you. We know that he will truly be missed. May God bless all of you. Jim and Carol Voss

My deepest sympathy and condolences go out to Dan's Family. Although I have not lived in Cedar Rapids for decades, I remember Dan well going back to the time we were classmates at Sunday School at Temple Judah in the 1960s. He was a wonderful person.

Marcia, I am greatly saddened to hear of Dan’s passing. He contributed so much of himself and his knowledge to all of us and the ambulance/. It was a lucky day for the service when. He decided to join. I will remember him with great fondness. I regret that I shall not be able to attend his service as I am currently in Omaha to watch my Texas grandson play baseball.
