So very sorry for your loss. I haven’t seen Dana since school but have many memories of him
Lisa Taylor Pohlsander - School friend
This is a silly memory:. When Dana was very young and his Mom would wash his blanket and hang it on the clothes line, that's where you would find him in a little while. He would be outside holding a corner. I will miss you! Love you ??

Dana was one of my favorite childhood friends. Always funny and kind. I lost track of him after he moved to Tulsa but have thought of him from time to time. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
Vickie Ryan Smiley - School
I knew Dana for several years, the only time I ever spent with him were brief moments in stores or short conversations in parking lots in town but every time I saw him I left smiling. That's the kind of person he was, passing moments with Dana was and always will be enough to be reminded that there is still good to be found in a world that is far too hard. He shared kindness, it was his nature. Lincoln just won't seem the same. I'll miss him.
