Dan received his education from Boys Town High School and graduated in 1956. Following his pursuit of higher education, he ventured into the Air Force to serve his country. Dan’s dedication and commitment while serving were admirable qualities that defined his character.
Outside of his military service, Dan had a zest for life through various hobbies and interests. He found solace in nature’s embrace while fishing and hunting. Additionally, he enjoyed challenging himself on the golf course and participating in friendly bowling tournaments.
Dan was a beloved son of Leonard and Eileen Stacy. He grew up alongside his brothers James, Stanley, Gary, and Gregory – all of whom shared countless memories filled with laughter and brotherly affection. Throughout his life journey, Dan deeply cherished these sibling bonds.
In Chadron, Nebraska, Dan found his soulmate in Micci Stacy. Together they built a strong and enduring bond filled with love and companionship. Micci was not only Dan’s wife, but also his confidante throughout the ups and downs of life.
As a devoted father, Dan treasured his relationship with his son Mike Stacy of Clearmont, Wyo. Their shared experiences created a lasting bond that will forever be valued.
