Dan always had a contagious smile on his face and always loved spending time with his family and friends. He always had a positive attitude about everything in Life even during his battle with cancer. Dan enjoyed so many things in life such as snowmobiling, UTVing, pontooning, Harley rides, bicycle rides, convertible rides, camping, parties on the family private lake “Lake Harriet”, listening to his favorite music artists and being up north at his second home in Hazelhurst, Wis., where he met his second family of so many loving and caring friends he made over the years.

I will always remember our early season snowmobile "Hot Laps" around the Pub. Snowmobile season won't be the same not seeing your smiling face walking through the door. Hope you are enjoying endless pontoon days and always freshly groomed trails. Love you Dan and Sherri!

Sending HUGS and prayers to you Sherri and the family! Dan was a kind man and we are hoping he is enjoying a little John Prine on his snowmobile rides. The Rosemeyer Family

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. I was proud to know Dan as a Teamster brother. He was always calm, cool, and collected, a gentle giant. He was a sincere person who cared about the well being of others. His smile was always a great pick-me-up. He will be forever missed. Happy trails, Dan!

My connection to the Clark family is my dear friend since the 1980’s, Mary Kay. I met Dan in Las Vegas at Mary Kay’s wedding. In that one encounter he stood out; as I remember it he was a vibrant, thoughtful young man with a wicked sense of humor. We all stayed up socializing and laughing into the wee hours of the night. I’m not surprised there is an outpouring of love for his wife, Sherri and the entire Clark family.
