Bryan was the happiest child this world has ever known. You couldn’t help but smile and laugh when he was around, just an all- around gorgeous, silly kid and 100 percent all boy.

He be- came an Oregonian when his f a m i l y moved to M o n - mouth, just before he entered first grade. He met Jares Lewin at Central High School 35 years ago. They were married for 30 years. During their lives togeth- er, they enjoyed hiking, backpacking, camping, trav- eling, photography, golf, disc golf, stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, explor- ing, their ever-growing movie library, and taking care of their special needs animals. They also worked togeth- er for many years.

Music was an important part of Dan’s life. He brought joy to many with the music he composed, and he played in several bands during his teen and adult years. Also important were fami- ly and friends. His close family was always a vital part of his life, and he made a real effort to stay connect- ed with as many friends as Obituary Information Obituaries cost $8 per 25 words and include photos and flags for veterans.
