Dana is survived by his wife Susan, his daughter Krista, son-in-law Hershel, eight grandchildren, eight great grandchildren, two sisters and two brothers. His daughter Danelle died earlier this year.

Dana was born March 26, 1948. He graduated from Washington High School and worked at Rockwell Collins for five years following graduation. In 1970 he started working at the Cedar Rapids Fire Department and began taking fire science classes at Kirkwood. Like most firemen he had a second job. Employment at Smulekoffs and Area Ambulance were his second jobs. After 33 years Dana retired from the Cedar Rapids Fire Department as a Captain.

Dana's interests and passions were many and varied. He raced motocross, had his pilots license, and enjoyed all aspects of classic cars and motorcycles. He had a lifetime desire to play the guitar and was so proud to have accomplished that.

Dana will be so missed by his family and friends.
