He is survived by his two daughters, Sarah Keel (Ray) and Samatha Taylor (Joey) and her grandchildren, Ella, Samuel, Declan, and Alexa.
Dan lived a full life. He married his high school sweetheart, Darice, and they shared 53 years together. He was involved in the Plant City community through Downs Real Estate, a business he grew with his mother, Hazel.
