Daniel James McKenna. What can I say about the man? I knew him as more then just a friend. He was my family, the only family that I had. I've been close to Dan for over 29 years and I am thankful and grateful for every minute that I knew him. I'm sure there are a lot of people that Dan knew or became aquatinted with that had gotten the impression from Dan that he was cold and hard, but what they didn't know was that the cold and hard attitude that Dan presented at times was just a front. A way to mask his true nature. The fact that Dan was a truly loving and caring man was known by few. Sadly, Dan would so often use that front to hide that truth from his own self. Because of emotional devastation caused by his first marriage, Dan built a wall to protect his feelings and would tend to sabotage potential relationships. Twenty years ago, I sat Dan down and we talked about his wall. I remember telling him that if he ever wanted to find love again he would have to break away at that wall. Dan listened, and he worked hard to chip away at that wall and after two years of hard work, Dan met Marie Carol Jensen and married her. I don't know if I'm truly the one that helped Dan chip away at his wall or not, but I'm just grateful that he was able to love someone and have someone love him until his end. Thank you Marie! He truly loved you
