Dan was born on December 23, 1964, and raised in Sylvania, where he lived throughout his life. He attended Northview High School for two years before graduating from Southview High

He had a love of speed, especially NASCAR, go-karts, motorcycles, and snowmobiles, and was a loyal Pittsburgh Steelers fan. He also looked forward to hunting season and spending time at car shows.

He was preceded in death by his stepfather, Herbie White; his mother, Mary Lou White; and his sister, Coleen Ward. He is survived by his daughters, Marisa and Amanda Ward; his special friend, Bev Collum; and his loyal companion dog, Tyrone (Ty).
