Dan Hennessey, 58, died unexpectedly on May 4, 2020 while doing what he loved with people he loved in a place he loved. Dan hit his head while mountain biking around Lake Lagunitas on Mt. Tam. He never regained consciousness. He leaves behind his wife, Lori, and 2 daughters, Selena and Shannon.
Dan grew up in Mill Valley in a family that loved to laugh, play music, sing, and rescue baby raccoons. He delivered newspapers on his bike, sailed with his father, rode bikes, unicycles and motorcycles, and rebuilt anything he could get his hands on. The center of his universe was his family. Dan and Lori had many adventures hiking volcanoes, camping, skydiving, scuba diving with sharks and building a beautiful home together. He was bursting with love for his daughters and bragged often of their beauty, smarts and achievements. Dan was an avid mountain biker, beer drinker and builder.
He was a general contractor and the breadwinner for the family, owner of Hennessey Construction company. The future of the construction business is very uncertain without Dan at the helm. Lori and the girls will need help with medical expenses, college expenses, and possibly living expenses. There may also be weddings for the girls in the future, which Dan would've wanted to be the biggest and the best.
He dedicated his life to taking care of his family, helping people build their dream homes, and enjoying a cold one and dice game with his many friends. He was proud, loyal and fair. His core was his village made up of family and friends through unconditional love and commitment. Dan worked hard, played hard and napped hard. His big smile, loud voice and bright blue eyes will always be remembered.
Supporting the family helps each of us carry on his legacy in life.
