Dan was born in Ft. Worth, TX on September 3, 1945, to Daniel Joseph & Ruth Elizabeth (Palmer) Holubec. He graduated from Paschal HS in 1963, and went on to attend Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX. From there he joined the Navy, where he served our country four years and achieved an honorable discharge. He then pursued a career at Methodist Hospital as Director of Materials and Supply, where he worked for nineteen years. It was there that Dan met his loving wife, Diane Bissey of Roswell, NM. They married on July 27th, 1974.

Dan was a lighthearted, fun loving, gentle and kind man. He had a heart of gold, and his faith in God was of the utmost importance. He was loved by many, and was held in the highest regard. His favorite pastimes included watching Texas Tech football with his son, reading, going to the mountains with his wife, spending time with grandchildren and landscaping. It was his love of landscaping which led him to work at All Seasons Property Care for fourteen years. Dan loved people, so after retirement, he worked at United Market Street, prior to his passing.

Dan was preceded in death by his parents, Dan and Ruth Holubec, and his sister, Suzanne Cozzens.

He is survived by his wife, Diane; daughter D'Ann Lane and her husband Brandon of Ft. Worth, TX; son Darin Holubec and his wife D'Ann of Lub-bock, TX, and 7 grandchildren: Peyton, Taylor, Christopher, Cameron, Jolee, J'Lyn and Jaxon.
