It's with great sadness my father-in-law, Dan Dear, has passed away. Dan suffered an abdominal aortic aneurysm on March 30th. Dan fought hard to recover, fighting pneumonia, flu A, and becoming septic. Dan passed on April 9th at 7:35 pm. Dan was a resident of Silver Springs, Florida.

I'm reaching out with the permission of the family for help and support with this unforeseen situation. The amount of traveling, medical bills, food expenses, searching for legal guidance, end-of-life arrangements, cremation service, and any other bills and fees that come the family's way are overwhelming, to say the least. We are working through all the legal processes as we speak. Dan was a great man and always treated me with the utmost respect. He was an avid fisherman and loved his children and grandchildren.

There will be an official obituary coming soon once Nichol, Sara, and Ben get everything together. My ask and the only thing I feel I can do for Dan and his children is to ask for help and support. God bless you all.
