Bring Dan Home

Donation protected
If you knew Dan Dirst, MacGyver is about as apt of a description as I could give the man.  He was a kindhearted soul that would give you the shirt off his back if you ask. He was always willing to pitch and help and never expected anything in return. Whether it was helping fix a garage door, hanging a ceiling fan or cleaning after a basement flood, Dan was there.  He was the embodiment of the phrase “actions speak louder than words.” 

He was a loving husband, stepdad and grandfather to his wife Wendy, stepchildren Jazmyne and Mykal and beautiful granddaughter Ensley.  He was a great neighbor and an even better friend.

 Dan passed away, unexpectedly on Friday December 11th, 2020, while working in Colorado. The combination of this untimely event, happening while he was working in Colorado, and Covid-19 has created a host of new and unforeseen expenses for the family.  While Wendy is not one to ask for assistance in normal situations, this is not one of those times.  The Corona virus has added extra layers to the process of bringing Dan home to be laid to rest and none of us could have prepared for a situation such as this.

 We all know that if we were hurting and needed somebody, Wendy and Dan would be at our doorstep before we could even ask.  Let’s return the favor by showing our love and support for Wendy, during this trying and stressful time.
