I’m Dan’s wife Beth.
I would like to add some aspects of this obit that are important. Dan was very close to his Mother and Father in-laws and his brother in-laws: Angela LaPorte, Paul LaPorte (predeceased), Gregory LaPorte (Brooke) and Luke LaPorte.
For the past 13-14 years Dan would spend every Christmas with his in-laws. We were all very close and had a special bond. Dan was especially fond of his Father in-law Paul, whom he talked about all the time.
Dan and his in-laws shared many special moments and learned many beautiful things from each other.
My family had a profound impact on Dan’s life and helped Dan and I during many times in our lives.
Dan and I were United in marriage on July 27, 2013 after several years of courtship. We had an unconditional love for each other.
Dan also had several meaningful friendships in which were very important to him in his life.
I am having a private celebration of life for Dan for just immediate family and close friends later on this year.
I also have donations set up in Dan’s honor:
