“Most of all, he was a special part of our community,” McKeen said.
“Our thoughts are with his wife Carol and his family at this time.
“We are sending our thoughts and prayers their way as they deal with this sudden loss.
“Dan was a wonderful mayor, co-worker, and friend.
“He will be missed by many.”
