My sincerest condolences on the loss of your son. You raised a great man who I was privileged enough to call my friend since high school. Dan was always up to some kind of antics to make people smile and was always up for having a good time. He was one of the hardest workers I knew. Sending you love and light during this difficult time.

I feel fortunate to have known Dan. We were close friends in high school and roommates during university. I have witnessed an extraordinary depth to Dan. He defied classification, and was always surprising me with some aspect of his personality. You could always trust Dan to make the most of any situation. He could have fun anywhere, and never let go of his passion for life. The world has lost a special person. His presence will be greatly missed, and my heart goes out to his family.

Daniel, Jannett & Cheryl & family
My sincerest sympathies in the loss of your remarkable son & brother. I was truly shocked & saddened to hear about Daniel's passing. I was one of his instructors and advisor at Lakeland College, Vermilion. Dan was kind, thoughtful, respectful and always so interesting. He was a most memorable student. Not only was he gifted with a wise understanding of the business world but also a high achiever who worked hard to get it "all right". At that time, Dan was a little nervous but excited to take on the appraisal world. It was clear that he would love the career he chose and do very well at it. He was an extraordinary individual. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely, Patricia Pidruchney

My heartfelt condolences to Dan's family. I worked with Dan at Nortel in Calgary and met up with him over the years for a few trips. Dan was an extremely entertaining guy to be around and had a big, kind heart. I remember him belting out "Feliz Navidad" at the hotel's upscale piano bar in his favorite hat and beachwear... His energetic performance earned him a huge round of applause and 50 pesos from the mostly Mexican audience. He will truly be missed.

It is with shock and disbelief that we heard of Dan's passing. It seems like only yesterday I sold him his acreage off the #3. In my real estate practice Dan was always the first appraiser I called when I needed something done quickly and professionally. He was the best at what he did! My daughter Jami went to school with Dan. Dan, you will be missed by all who knew you both personally and professionally.
Our sincere condolences Mark and Jami Felesky
