Dan was born in Portland, Oregon to father Joseph Vincent and mother Marian Joyce.
He attended Ascension Grade School, David Douglas and Reynolds High Schools. As one of 7 kids, Dan was always the adventurer. He started his interest in flying with the purchase of a hang glider.
He later followed in his Dad’s footsteps, spending most of his successful career in the paper industry. Through business, he met his future wife Cyndi. They were married March 3rd, 1989 in Jackson Hole, WY.
Dan and Cyndi shared many of the same passions in life such as cars, photography, travel, and flying. They both worked extremely hard to accomplish their goal of traveling the world and making friends wherever they went. Their travels took them to unique destinations and often included skiing, scuba diving, and photo documentation of their experiences. They lived life to its fullest.
They participated in volunteer work through their church and were also dedicated to the Angel Wings organization and serving those that needed them most.
Dan is survived by sisters Hilma, Diane, Ann and husband Joe, brothers Bob and wife Cheryl, Jim and wife Kim and many nieces and nephews.
