possible during his illness.
It was never a surprise for
people who knew him that
he really loved meeting new
people. He was an amazing
man in many ways. During
his lifetime, he changed
many people’s lives for the
better.
In November 2015, Dan
was diagnosed with stage 4
prostate cancer. It had
metastasized into his bones
in early 2017.
At that time, he was also
diagnosed with a second
condition, disseminated in-
travascular coagulation
(DIC). Despite the wonder-
ful care he received at Mt.
View Regional Center in Las
Cruces, N.M., complications
from the DIC, coupled with
a fast-moving infection on
June 21, caused him to pass
early in the morning.
He is survived by his wife,
Jares; his mother, Pat Gal-
lagher; his sisters, Mary Gal-
lagher Vaughn and Susan
Gallagher; and his father-in-
law, Gerry Lewin. He was
preceded in death by his fa-
ther, Jim Gallagher.
An outdoor celebration in
Oregon is planned for Dan
on Sept. 10, 2017, at Silver
Falls State Park.

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 loved his family, his
Blazer and his dinosaurs
with all his might and
spread that love and joy
through the hearts of every-
one whom was blessed to
know and love him. When
Bryan left, he was holding
Daniel Weldon
Gallagher
Dan was born in Ypsilan-
ti, Mich., to James Weldon
Gallagher and Patricia Reed
Gallagher.
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. Their
shared careers led them to
produce DVDs of western
national parks, a period of
time that Dan referred to as,
“The best seven years of our
lives.”
In recent years, they con-
tinued to work together to
provide outdoor opportuni-
ties for guests at high-end
resorts in Utah and New
Mexico.
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
