Dan lived with his wife, Iva on their small farm in Cedar City, Utah. He raised ornamental pheasants, chickens, peacocks, sheep, goats, pigs, a horse, three cats and Daisy the dog. His favorite expression was that he used to be a highly sought-after engineer, but now he was just a dumb goat farmer. He loved the farm and his animals. The front porch was Dan’s favorite hang-out. People driving by would wave or stop to visit. He loved his family and friends very much and made it a priority to stay in touch with them.
