Priscilla, Luke, Jess, Maria, and whole family - sending our condolences. Dan had such an amazing heart. I'm grateful we could briefly know him and see the ranch and even for our kids to ride the horses. And for Kylan to get such a special ride with Dan in the model T! What a treasured memory. We will miss him. Sending you our love and prayers.

Meeting Dan and Priscilla Schnell has been one of the highlights of our life here in Colorado. Don really enjoyed Sunday morning coffee chats with Dan before Mass. Dan always had the most warm and welcoming smile for us each week. We will miss you, Dan. Be with the Schnell family, dear Jesus, and give them comfort and strength.

In the dash between the time Uncle Dan was born and the moment he left us, lies an entire universe of experiences, wisdom, and memories that defy the simplicity of that punctuation mark. It represents a lifetime of laughter shared, lessons imparted, and bonds forged. The dash encapsulates not only the milestones and achievements but also the countless moments of quiet strength, the unwavering love for family, and the countless ways in which Uncle Dan touched the lives of those around him. It is a testament to a rich tapestry of stories, each thread woven with care and purpose. While the dash may stand as a mere punctuation, the depth and breadth of Uncle Dan's impact extend far beyond its visual simplicity, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and lives of those fortunate enough to be part of his journey. I love you uncle. To my cousins and their family's, I hope you find peace and strength. My heart is with you.. and to my Auntie.. you know of my love for you. And the bond we have. I'm 10 digits away. ~Matty

We are so sorry for your loss as we know Dan was such an important part of all your lives. Please know you can reach out to us anytime. We love you all and will cherish the times we shared with Dan and you. We will also fondly remember his response to news, “Oh,” in his South Dakota accent.
