Also surviving are his two daughters, whom he was a proud father of, Casey (Sabrina Matthews) DeFrance of Morton; Hannah (Kevin Haley Jr.) DeFrance of North Pekin, and one sister, Debra (Albert) Weishaar of Mapleton, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles.
He was preceded in death by his parents, one brother, David Jr., and his beloved dog, Bo.
He worked as a self-employed truck driver. Dan was a man of few words but wore his heart on his sleeve. In his younger years he spent a majority of his time on dirt bikes and roller skates. He was an avid hunter, fisherman, loved kayaking, the outdoors and nature, and enjoyed working on anything, was known as the jack of all trades to his family. He would give the shirt off his back for anyone in need. Dan will be missed by many friends and family, and was loved by everyone who met him.
