Dane was a Great man He Always was soft spoken and a Genuine caring person. He will Always be in our hearts and memories I just found out that he went to his Heavenly Home when visiting Dr. Hamm, Wednesday. Dane Always took care of people in the most caring way. He will Surely be missed
Dane was a good man. He always had a smile in the roughest of times. My condolences to his family.
I am so sorry to hear Dane has passed away. My sincere condolences to his family and prayers. I have been a patient Valdese Medical for years, he would always say he'd pray for me when I would be sick.
Melanie, we are so sorry for your terrible loss. Although we never met him, we feel the world has lost a brilliant and great man. Praying that God will comfort you, Sharon and his children. Much love to you all.
Dane was the high light of visiting VMA. Giving me advice that was best for me- such as staying with Dr. Hamm when Dr. Scroggins left. He took the time to say “hello in there”, suggested by John Prine. Family of Dane, I hope you can find comfort in knowing he was a helper and healer.
I had the pleasure of taking CPR with Dane at Childcare Connections. Although it’s something I dread every 2 years, Dane always made the class fun and personable, with the best stories of his experience as a paramedic, and the funny/crazy encounters he has had over the years. He will truly be missed. God has you in his heavenly home with open arms Dane. May you rest in peace. Lifting the family of Dane in my prayers!
Dane was a great friend. We graduated Tabernacle Christian School together. We had great times and much laughter together. Dane will certainly be missed, but I am glad he is with the Lord. This is not goodbye forever, but see you later. All the family is in our prayers. Sam Abee
