CalFire Hero Lost His Cancer Battle

UPDATE JULY 5 2018: In July of 2017 Dan went to work at Deer Springs CalFire Station as a Firefighter Medic in the San Diego Unit.  While on duty Dan had a headache that had progressively gotten worse.  A CT scan revealed the worst possible scenario, a stage 4 Glioblastoma Brain Tumor.  A short time later Dan had surgery for his brain tumor.  The Surgeon could only remove 90% of his tumor. On July 5, 2018 Dan lost his battle. He was healthy, happy and hopeful until the end when he died one day after a seizure and brain bleed at the gym (he was a health nut!). He was surrounded by loved ones at the end. It is bittersweet for everyone who loved Dan. He was planning to marry the love of his life, Chelsea, in August. We raised enough to make his dream of going to Durango, CO a reality. He called it his soul searching trip and got back a few days ago. This GoFundMe account was set up to assist Dan in his battle against cancer and with the approval of the family will continue to raise funds and will direct them to the CAL FIRE San Diego Benevolent Fire Benevolent Fund a 501c3 non-profit developed to support to firefighters and their families in times of need. 100% of the funds will be used to help pay for the costly funeral and other expenses. We got Dan to his doctor in Durango a few days before he died. Let's all rally to get him buried in a hero's fashion like he deserves. For More information on the Benevolent Fund, please visit https://www.l2881sd.org/tributes-trust PLEASE SHARE!!  Firefighters are exposed to toxic substances every single day they show up for work.  Too many firefighters are diagnosed with cancer every year.  These heroes are risking death everyday to help all of us.  Dan paid the ultimate price because he chose a selfless profession.  He is my hero.  He is deeply loved by his girlfriend Chelsea, parents Randy and Rose, extended family/friends and his firefighter brothers and sisters, who have all stood valiantly standing by his side.  He never once asked for anything. My name is Kelly Marugg and I am the wife of one of Dan Geary's Battalion Chiefs and friends.  Please share, email and be a hero for Dan.  People can't donate if they can't see this!!
