DANN COLLINS Loving father, husband, brother and friend, "Big" Dann Collins, 47, of Las Vegas, passed away Aug. 24, 2011. We lost Dann too early, doing what he loved, helping a stranded truck driver on the 10 Freeway in Arizona. He was born Oct. 16, 1963, in Everett, Wash., and was a 21-year resident of Nevada. In his lifetime, he started two well-known towing companies in the Las Vegas area, D&D Towing Inc. and Vegas Heavy Haul, dba, Big Valley Towing. He was well-loved in the towing industry and was everyone's friend. Dann was preceded in death by his mother, Janet; his younger sister, Carol; and his two younger brothers, David and Patrick. Dann is survived by his loving wife, of five years, Debbie; his daughter, Janelle, his younger sister, Kathy; his father, Tim; and his adopted children, the cats, Jack, Sylvester and Bristol and the dogs, Buddy, Cosmo and Bliss. Services will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 3, at Palm Mortuary, 7600 S. Eastern Ave. Please consider making a donation to Opportunity Village in Dann's name. Dann will be sorely missed.
