In 2005 Dan began home schooling his two youngest children Zachary and Nicholas till they joined public school in middle school. In 2010, Dan and Teri made the decision to pack up their lives for a change in scenery and move to Virginia Beach in which he restarted work in the construction field to help pay the bills in the transition time. Dan’s health started to decline through the years but his love for his family never wavered as he continued to support his wife and children.
With the decline of his health Tyler his oldest son came out to assist with his father during covid. Dan passed in the comfort of his home on Hospice, and he is now in heaven with his mother Rose, daughter Jennefer, and sister Patti.
