He attended Central Methodist University and Southern Illinois University and served in the US Army during the Vietnam War stationed in Germany. He held many jobs, and was a member of the Teamsters Union. Dan loved riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle, listening to music, spending time with his friends, and participating in toy runs. He will be remembered for many things, but best for his kind heart and love for his friends and family.

He is survived by his love, Rebecca Bolwar, "imaginary" daughter, Cassandra Langhammer, and her fiance Chris Sanders of Davenport, Iowa; his sister, Sandy (Thompson) Polarek and her husband Melvin Polarek of Green Bay, Wisconsin; and a niece, Nicole Polarek and her husband Jason Ferry, and their two sons. He was preceded in death by his mother and father, Burdette and Kathleen Thompson. Dan leaves behind many friends who are also considered his family.
