He was born in Pittsburgh, PA on October 22, 1954 to Francis and Rita McNally, the 2nd of 9 children.

Dan worked for the Maricopa County Assessor Office as a Commercial Property Supervisor and the AZ Dept of Revenue as a supervisor in the Property Tax Division.

He will forever be remembered as the husband a woman dreams of, the perfect son, the best Grampy in the world, a wonderful step-father, the greatest brother, and as a man who made every friend feel special. He will be deeply missed for his enormous capacity to love, his infinite patience, kindness, sense of humor, intelligence, and passion for camping, hunting and fishing. He was preceded in death by his father Francis and brother Mike. He leaves behind his mother Rita McNally, wife Cindy, stepsons Shane and Todd Curtis ( Nicole Curtis), grandchildren Kai, Brooklin, Noah and Carsten, brothers Pat and Phil McNally, and sisters Mary (Tom Iracki), Kate ( Greg Robertson), Peggy Jarvis, Ruth McNally and Julie McNally.
