Dan had the best cocaine I've ever seen and he used it! Too bad. Now Greg from the hardware store is gonna have to find another drinking buddy!

[Respect]

He may have made some mistakes but at least he is not an ***hole like you.

[Remembering]

Let us remember the wonderful things Dan did in his life. He had an amazing impact on the Zeeland Community.

[Coke Head]

Oh yes... lets get all warm and fuzzy... He was the biggest supporter of getting the alchohol bill passed along with Greg Visser. I have no sympathy. Oh, and suicide... well that's a fast track to hell!

[Remembering]

Coke head...hmmm... that really makes you sound creditable about anything you ever say. Have some respect. This man is passed away and all you can do is disrespect him? Why don't you just go do another line Coke Head.

[Remembering]

Do you have a problem Greg Visser?.. or the fact that they wanted (along with many others) to have the alcohol bill passed?

[A Person]

Coke Head, people like you make me sick. Did your mother raise you to be a cold heartless human being?

[outside looking in]

Does it really matter if he was addicted to coke or not? Many people have addictions,that doesn't mean that someone out there doesn't love them and wasn't hurt deeply by his suicide. His Mother's comments were "He means everything to me". Any person that is left behind by the victim doesn't hurt any less because he was a cocaine addict. He was a human being and people thought that he was a good person.
By the way how would you know about the quality of his cocaine unless...mmm...PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULDN'T THROW STONES!!!!!

[Coke Head]

This is funny! poor Dan is taking a dirt nap. I'll give him credit. He probably did enough cocaine that he didn't feel a thing. Those are gonna be some really happy worms

[Supporter of Dans]

Mr Coke Head,
Why dont you go back to masterbating to tansexual internet porno and let Dans family and friend grieve in peace.

[Friend of Dan]

I would hazard a guess that at one point in Coke's life he considered Dan a friend. We can see now that was a poor choice on Dan's part. I would also guess that when Dan pulled himself up and began to get right with God, family and friends Coke felt left behind because, obviously, he wasn't able to do the same for himself.
You are wrong about Dan, Coke. It is you who is on the fast track to hell, there is a very special place reserved there for you where you will spend eternity alone. Probably not too much different than your life right now.

[Friend of Dans]

Dan, you were truly one of a kind. We will all miss you dearly. We love you and may you rest in peace.

[outside looking in]

Who are we to judge Dan or Coke Head for that
matter. John 8:7 ...He that is without sin among
you, let him first cast a stone...
My deepest sympathy to Dan's loved ones and
friends, My thoughts and prayers are with them.

P.S.
Coke Head, no charge for the added entertainment provided, this laugh is on me.

I have only met Dan a couple of times when I have visited Frank's to eat dinner. While there, I was made to feel very welcome and Dan always had smile on his face. He made each of his customers feel welcome, mentioning many by name when they entered his restaurant. I will remember him for that. I am sorry he was involved with drugs (if he was) and I am sorry that he felt there was no other way out of his circumstances. May God comfort his family and friends during this difficult time.

[sikeston stunter]

hes dead get over it if u people defending him were such friends u could have helped him but u didnt so ur no better than people talkin about him u just want someone to feel sorry for u and him he did what he did to himself he was weak and couldnt handle life get over it.so find a new cause in life

[classmate]

Dan made a lasting impression on everyone with his smile and friendly demeanor. He was a warm person and had a great heart and smile for everyone. My heart goes out to his family and friends that are left behind to grieve. God is a mercyfull God. Noone has the right to judge him unless they are without sin and we all know that is impossible. May you rest in peace Dan.

[Disgusted]

Coke Head - Sounds like satan has his grips on you. I will pray for you that you find the Lord and ask for forgiveness before you meet your maker.

[Coke Head]

Shut the fu ck up disquested. Old dan the drug dealer ought to be wonderfully shriveled and quite smell by now. Oh well

[Zeeland Resident]

What a horrible way to talk about a man who has passed away. As far as the person who says if people cared about him they would help him, the person who has an addition (if he did) needs to hit rock bottom and get help himself. The Holland Sentinel had interviews from many people of all ages that had very nice things to say about Dan. People who commit suicide are very depressed. Suicide leaves a lasting feeling of guilt and emptiness for family and friends. God has compassion for people who are ill from a mental health problem as well as medical problem. Dan did many nice things for the people in Zeeland and put his heart and soul into it. Instead of using horrible language to discribe him you should be praying for his Mom and the rest of his family who loved him and misses him very much. I'm disgusted how many of the above comments are so mean and vile. You all have problems yourself. Try some compassion and help someome out who is less fortunate than you.
