If you knew Dan, you knew his smile.

He had a gift for making people feel welcome. He loved live music, loved his friends, and was always the first to lend a hand. Dan helped shape the culture at Copper Fire, and his kindness touched so many lives.

But the role he cherished most was being a dad.

At the request and with the blessing of Daniel’s family, Copper Fire is honored to help celebrate Dan’s life and raise money for the two people he loved more than anything—his boys.

Every dollar donated through this GoFundMe will go directly to his boys to help provide love, support, and opportunities for their future.

To bring our community together and keep Dan’s spirit alive, Copper Fire is launching Denim Dan Day, an annual fundraiser in his honor. On Sunday, July 12, we’ll wear denim, enjoy live music, share great food, and gather as friends to celebrate the life of an incredible man.

Copper Fire will donate 100% of our profits from Denim Dan Day, along with all event donations, directly to Dan’s boys.

If you’re able to give, thank you. If you’re unable to donate, you can still make a difference by sharing this fundraiser, wearing denim on Denim Dan Day, joining us at Copper Fire on July 12, or simply keeping Dan’s boys and family in your thoughts.

Thank you for helping us honor Dan’s legacy with the same kindness, generosity, and heart that he shared with everyone around him.
