Loving husband of Cindy. Father of Aimee Long (Brian), Paul (Rainbow Agawa and her daughter Landyn). Proud papa of Eamonn, Emmett and Owen Long.
Son of the late Rose-Aimee and Georges Rouleau. Brother of Gilles (Judi), Nicole Howe (Rick), late Renaud, Alain (Val), and Lynne. Son in law of Frank and Bernice Harper. Brother in law of Grant Harper (Patti), Heather Grandmont (Phil) and Janet Krmpotich (late Randy). “Unc” and great uncle to many.
To Dan, family and home were what was most important to him. Each day started with the words “I’ll be in the garage!”. But it wasn’t just a garage … It was a gathering place for lots of laughs, memories and maybe a beer or two. Dan loved the outdoors, and a lifetime of memories were made with many friends and family at Achigan.
We are inspired by his strength, resilience and his sense of humor that always came through even on the dark days of diagnosis and treatment.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, November 8, 2024, at the Water Tower Inn – Grand Hall East (360 Great Northern Rd, SSM) from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm.
Special thanks to all of Dan’s health care teams. Nurses at the SAH Cancer Clinic, Dr. Febbraro and Dr. Booth, your kindness and compassion will not be forgotten. Thank you to the extraordinary staff and volunteers at ARCH for your guidance and care. To all our family and friends, thank you for your love and support through this difficult journey.
