Dan was born September 14, 1964 in Cahokia, IL to Roy E. and Betty S. (née Owen) Cason, the youngest of six children.
Dan was preceded in death by his parents; his sisters, Linda Hollowell (née Cason), Katherine Meyer (née Cason), and Mary Wolf (née Cason); his brother, Patrick Cason; and his brothers-in-law, Ronald Meyer, husband of Katherine, and Charlie Wolf, husband of Mary.
He is survived by his daughters, Hannah (Ben Ashby) and Autumn Cason; his daughter’s mother, Denise (née Ward) Cason; brother and sister-in-law, Mike and Denise Cason (née Aubuschon); his sister-in-law, Sue Cason, wife of Patrick; his brother-in-law, Glen Hollowell, husband of Linda; and many beloved nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
His passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Dan loved his family dearly, especially his two daughters, Hannah and Autumn. Although he is no longer with us, his memory will live on through the stories shared, the memories treasured, and the family who will continue to carry his love with them.
