We worked hard and played hard during our tour in Germany.  Dan was a class act and always willing to help someone.  It was a great time during our tour at "Club E-hof" back in the day.  Back when there was one AFN channel and everyone went to the squadron softball games.  Desert storm days.  Playing blues in the driveway days.  Dan was a guy you were really happy for when he got promoted.  A good leader, mentor and friend.  You've touched a lot of people, Dan, and they're better off for it.  You'll live on in them.  And you'll be missed.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

So saddened to hear about Dan's passing. I worked for/with Dan in Germany oh so many years ago but had lost contact with him since. We made many fun memories as a large military family over there, birthdays, holidays and so many shop get togethers. Prayers to his family, he will be missed.

I am saddened to hear the loss of Dan. He was a great friend and boss. I spent almost all of my Military career with Dan and his family and have created many memories. Best wishes to all.

Condolances to Dan's family.  I had the pleasure of serving with him in Germany.  He was a good peron and will be missed.

So sorry to hear this news. Dan was a good friend, supervisor and fellow SNCO. I have so many great memories of Dan and all our team in Germany. Dan made the time we spent there so much fun and enjoyable. He was a great Boss and leader. I want the family to know that Dan affected everyone of us in a positive way.  I pray the family will find joy in this time of grief remembering the good times and fun times with Dan.  Rest In Peace Dan my friend and fellow Airman

It really hurts to know my last Boss, supervisor has gone home. He was such a great guy, Always even tempered, and willing too support me! Dan was my birthday brother, we shared the same exact birthday! He will be missed. My condolences to the His family!

I would like to express my sincere condolences to the Rohrbach family.  I had the privilege of working with Chief (Dan) Rohrbach while he served as the AFIT Civil Engineer School Superintendent.  It was Dan who convinced (mentored) me to obtain a Master’s Degree so I could one day possibly fill his shoes in this critical Civil Engineer CMSgt training position, which I did from 2010 to 2012.  Even after retiring from the U.S. Air Force and while serving as the civilian AFIT Facility Manager, Dan still routinely stopped by and asked how things were going and if there was anything he could do to help make the Superintendent course better.  That dedication meant a lot to me and said a lot about him as both a person and an Air Force Chief Master Sergeant! 

Dan, you will be will be truly missed by your family, friends, and the entire Civil Engineer community!

Rohrbach family, we are so sorry for your loss. I was fortunate enough to meet Chief for the first time in 2002 while deployed to Al Udeid. He was the RED HORSE Chief while I worked in CE. Even with different missions, he was still willing to provide mentorship to a few of us outside his chain. Years later it was good to see him establish and start the first ever CE Superintendents Course. I can’t imagine the magnitude of leadership he has provided to countless CE SMSgts and Chiefs! Every time I returned to AFIT I ensured to dropped in to say hello. Chief, you made a difference in a lot of peoples lives. You left us to early but no doubt you are watching over family and friends. You will be missed! 

Dan was a true man of God who served others with a quietness but faithfulness. He loved his family and was always there for them. He was always ready to help out in any situation and did it with love. We will miss him and his strong presence. Rest in peace dear friend.

I had the pleasure of serving with Dan and his Son on the Security Team at Lifepointe Church in Kettering.  Dan and I joined the team at its inception and he continued to serve through the years faithfully watching over the congregation. 

Dan had a quiet spirit but a big presence and his presence will be missed.  May God bless and comfort the family during their time of loss and grief.

Dan was my supervisor at AFIT until I retired from active duty in 2007. Dan was very kind and decent to me, and was instrumental in assisting me make the transition to civilian employment, for which I will always be grateful. My thoughts, prayers, and deepest condolences go out to his family at this time of loss.

I worked with Dan 2019-2020, as a CO in contracting. I remember meeting Dan for a job walk and talking to Dan about my husband’s shoulder surgery. Dan himself had just recently had a similar shoulder surgery and offered me lots of advice and insight into the recovery. He showed genuine care and concern and followed up with me for many weeks after. He cared about people on both a personal and professional level. He always ensured you knew you were an appreciated member of the team. His passion for the job and those he worked with will be painfully missed. I am so very sorry for this great loss. I am grateful to have known him. 

I am fortunate to have had Dan as a supervisor for the past five years, his caring spirit, willingness to listen, and ability to relate to those around him on a personal level was a blessing. I will truly miss him and the many conversations we had. My deepest sympathies to his family for their loss. 

Just wanted to share that Dan was a once in a lifetime supervisor.  He really cared for us and it showed.  Whoever follows Dan will have very large shoes to fill.

My condolences to the family. 
I will miss my morning talks and weekend texts mostly about Browns and Steelers successes and failures. 
Dan was great to work with, always fair and reasonable and always wanting to get to a win-win outcome. 
He will be hard to replace in CE and will be sorely missed. 
RIP my friend. 

Having worked with Dan for nearly 4 years, it was evident from the beginning, his desire to serve his country, our customers, and especially those that worked with and for him were his priority.  During this last year, I got to know Dan much better and saw the care he had for the folks that worked for him was only second to the love he had for his family.  Working alongside him, I learned a few things and am better off for it.  Your legacy lives through the lives of many Dan...

I worked with Chief Rohrbach at AFIT and was a fellow SAME member with him. What an exemplary military engineer and genuine, caring and friendly person and coworker he was! I am so glad to have known him, worked with him and considered him a friend. I'm so sorry for his passing and he will continue to inspire me as an engineer and a professional. My condolences on your loss!

I worked with Dan for a number of years both as a military member and a civil servant.  He will be deeply missed.  My thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time.

Dan was great guy to work with.  He was friendly, helpful, and smart.  He was a good friend.  He will be missed.
