There aren’t words to describe the numbing pain you feel when a loved one is taken from you. Uncle Dan was the heart and spirit of our family. He always had time to talk and to play with all of his nieces and nephews. He never made me feel like I was to young to understand or that being “just a girl” was anything less than amazing. He loved nature, and hunting, and camp fires, and riding the motorcycles. But more than anything, he loved being around family. Heaven may have gained an angel on Monday, but the world lost one of its brightest lights. I am thankful his pain is finally gone but know that mine will last a lifetime. I will always love and miss you, Uncle Dan. Give grandma and grandpa a big hug and kiss for me. ❤️ Nina Soden
