<div>There are some people who show up to work and do a good job, and then there are others who show up and make the place better. Meteorologist, Dan Robertson, did both. That’s one of so many reasons his death has left us and so many Texans heartbroken. You know him as a trusted meteorologist, but we wanted to tell you a little more about the friend, father and musician behind the weather reports.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dan spent decades delivering weather, news and even his own music to people across Texas. From his first TV job in Lufkin to several stations in Austin and eventually statewide here on Spectrum News 1, he gave an experienced, friendly take on your weather forecasts. His interest in meteorology sparked at the age of 14 when he was nearly hit by lightning. In the early 1990s, he created “Project Tornado,” a storm spotter training program to protect local schools. His work to advance weather safety was recognized with Special Service Awards from the National Weather Service.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dan was a pioneer—a University of Texas graduate who became one of the first weather anchors to deliver updates via the internet. He wore many hats to entertain and inform people, from being the mascot for Alief Hastings High School to being a self-taught musician. Dan released two albums, starting in 1994 with a cassette tape called “Weather Songs,” a collection of weather-related tunes. He played almost all the instruments and sang all the vocals.

<div>Dan Robertson - Weather Songs: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYLKaDMq3As&amp;t=25s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYLKaDMq3As&amp;t=25s" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYLKaDMq3As&amp;t=25s</a></a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dan’s life spanned many parts of Texas. He was born in Dallas and raised in Houston, and he worked for the past 30 years in Central Texas. He sang about the places between and said, “All Roads Lead to Austin.” That’s where he lived with his wife of more than 30 years and where they raised three sons.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dan was the heart of his family, never hesitating to drop everything in a moment's notice to save the day. He was the source of laughter in their home, their superhero and their icon. From his crass jokes to his silly little sayings, his presence is felt in everything they do. The sound of his music will echo in their hearts forever and his sons look to carry on the legacy of a great man.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He was a loving husband, who wrote many songs for his wife Diane, often about how happy it made him just to come home. We take comfort in the lyrics of one of those songs, "When the time is right, I'll hold you tight, you'll never be alone." He was a soft spoken man with a heart of gold, and a voice of silver.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dan Robertson will be missed. We are raising money for memorial costs and ongoing support for our family, and to give people an opportunity to show their appreciation for Dan and the difference he made in so many lives. His family is touched by the outpour from the local community. We would like to host a memorial service in his name and welcome all of those that would like to come and show appreciation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are not expecting anything, but if you would like to, please help us celebrate Dan’s legacy by showing him how much he meant to the city he loved so dearly.
</div>
