Heartfelt condolences to all the family and Auto-Owners family. Many precious memories. God's peace.

Laurel, I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  I worked with Dan for over 20 years at Auto-Owners, and also had the opportunity to travel with Dan to a conference about 1 1/2 years ago.  He spoke so fondly of you and his children and grandchildren.  As others have said, I will truly miss his sense of humor,  his voice and his common sense approach to everything he did at Auto-Owners.

Laurel and family, my deepest condolences to you. Take it one breath at a time and may you be surrounded with love of family and friends to help you today and the days ahead.    Hugs and prayers,

Laurel; I am so sorry for your loss.  I had the pleasure of knowing Dan as a fellow officer of Auto-Owners.  His deep voice and quick wit was an endearing quality.  Auto-Owners was blessed to have been a part of his and your life.  You are in my prayers.

Laurel and family, we are shocked to hear of Dan's passing. He was such a "card". He would light up a room and be ready to tell a joke at the drop of a hat.
He truly loved you and his entire family, as he would mention one of you in daily conversation and he really enjoyed bragging about his kid's and grand children. You couldn't find a more loyal MSU fan. I enjoyed working with him and traveling with you and Dan on the company trips. He was a gentle giant  who could  fill up a room and left a positive lasting impression with whom ever he met. Our prayers go out to you and your family.

Laurel you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.  Dan was such a special man.  I was blessed to have known him and worked with him for many years.  I will always remember his smile, his humor and voice.  May God comfort you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of Danny's passing. I knew him as a little boy and a special young man in Missouri. My thoughts and prayers are with the Huddle family in Michigan and Missouri.

I am very sorry to hear of Dan's passing.  Dan made a tremendous impact on me during my career at Auto-Owners and I appreciated his ability to bring humor, compassion and empathy to the team.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am deeply saddened with the loss of my dear friend Dan. Our friendship goes back 35 years as we worked together for two companies. I enjoyed 25 of those years with Dan at Auto-Owners. Dan was the ultimate boss and friend. We shared a lot of great times together both on and off the job. He will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. I pray GOD will bless his family as they go through these very difficult times. Dan, see you down the road my friend.

I met Dan a long time ago when I was roommates with his sister in law Elise. Very nice guy! Very sorry Laurel! Sending you hugs and strength.

I'm so saddened by the passing of Dan and send my prayers to his family. I worked with Dan for many years at A-O and he was truly a kind, funny, unique individual. He will truly be missed. Rest in peace my friend.

So sorry to hear.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I have known Dan for 20 years.  He left a huge impression on me when I interviewed with him in 1996.  I have since worked on and off with him over the years and then worked closely with him on a daily basis for the last two years. He always made me laugh and ALWAYS brightened the mood of the room the second he walked in.  I will always remember him for his non-stop humor and ability to tell a story.  Dan was truly one of my favorite people.  He will not only be sincerely missed by me but the countless other people who had the pleasure of meeting him.

My prayers are with the Huddles. I worked with Dan in Michigan and then remotely from Florida. I have nothing but happy memories of his visits and phone calls. He was so funny and that was so appreciated when important issues were discussed. We will all miss him greatly. Lisa Franson (Tallahassee, Fl)

My thoughts and prayers are with you Laurel and your family. Dan always had a smile on his face and a witty sense of humor.  He could find a way to make you laugh in any situation.  He will be missed by all of us at Auto-Owners who had the privilege to know him.  God bless!

I started at Auto-Owners in marketing and trained with Dan when he had his short stint in marketing.  He had a great sense of humor and was extremely nice to a brand new associate during our month of training!  He will be missed!  Prayers to his family during this difficult time.

Prayers for Laurel and your family. I knew Dan from school years. May he rest in peace.

Our thoughts and prayers to you,  Laurel and your family.

We are all so sad about Dan's passing and praying for Laurel and family.   Dan's Auto-Owners family will miss him for so many reasons.  He was caring and kind - a friend to everyone - and so funny.  May  Dan find peace in heaven and may his family know how many people are praying for their peace.

"Laurel and family, my thoughts and prayer are with you. Dan was a thoughtful, respectful, and fun loving man. I enjoyed laughing with him and sharing stories with him. May the memories held deep inside your hearts, help to comfort you. You are in my prayers with deepest sympathy"

I am so sad and shocked.  I just saw Dan last week at the A/O 100 Anniversary Party.  Dan could always make me laugh.  My thoughts and prayers are with Dan's entire family.  Heaven just gained a great guy.  I will never forget all of the fun memories we had with Dan.  Julie Moberg

Our sincere sympathy go to you Laurel and the family.  I worked with Dan at Auto-Owners for many years and had the greatest respect and appreciation for him.  
May God bless you Laurel and the family in you time of sorrow.

My prayers are with the Huddle family. Dan will be truly missed. I started at A-O 2 years ago and Dan was one of the first to wish me well and continue to make me feel like a true member of the A-O family. His voice and witty comments will be missed. But, his spirit is strong and lives in all of the many people who were lucky enough to know him. Peace be with you.

Laurel keeping you & the family in my thoughts.  Dan definately was one of a kind and always was great to talk too.  He was very personable and made sure that if he saw you he would chat. He made  everyone laugh and smile and was a pleasure to interact with always.  His witty comments will always be remembered along with his Porky Pig rendition of Blue Christmas. Dan now you can watch all the Spartan Games from a different view cheering them on in heaven.  Sending hugs and prayers during this difficult time.

We are praying for the Huddle family during this time of mourning.  May he rest in peace.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Huddle family. Dan was such a great guy. He will be truly missed by me and all of his extended Auto-Owners family. Rest in peace my friend.

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

I wish I could give condolences in person, but I will share a memory I have of Dan.  Once for a show and tell we had to demonstrate how to do something.  Danny's selection was how to throw a curve ball.  My family was not at all sports oriented and I never knew there were special methods aside from picking up a ball and throwing it.  So he not only taught me the methods behind throwing a ball, but that if you want to do something, the first thing to do is find out the basics.  Then you build on what you know through living it.  I am so happy that he had a wonderful life and family with his wife, Laurel.  The loss is never easy, but know that he will always be with you in your heart and in your memories.  It's not enough, but it is precious.  God bless you, Laurel, you and your family are in my prayers.

To the family of Dan Huddle, 
Words can not express how we feel about the loss you must be feeling at this time. Hoping you can find some peace in the love and support of those around you at this time and from afar in places like West Des Moines, IA where you once called home. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family, both immediate and the Auto-Owners family. Dan was a special friend and associate and his unique humor will forever be remembered by those he touched. God Bless the family and be assured he is now smiling down on us. With the angels bringing smiles from heaven to forever remind us of the love and service he shared in this life.  
Kraig and Diane Klopfenstein, RVP, West Des Moines, Auto-Owners Insurance Company
