Dane graduated from Sturgis High School in 1966. Following his graduation from high school, he attended and graduated from Black Hills State College.Dane lived in several places including Whitewood, S.D., Spearfish, S.D., Detroit, Denver, Houston, and Sun City, Ariz. He also held a variety of jobs including working summers during college for Homestake Mining Company, and commercial salmon fishing in Alaska. He spent time with his brothers in Detroit working, coaching, and attending school. Others jobs included being a pharmaceutical salesman, and selling Sports Courts in Houston. Eventually, though, Dane found the career that most suited his compassionate, patient and outgoing personality - teaching and coaching. Dane taught middle school math for many years in Sturgis, S.D. Following his teaching years in Sturgis, Dane moved with his then-wife, Barb Aker, to Denver, where he continued his successful teaching and coaching careers. He taught in both Evergreen and Denver and was a great role model for his students as he demonstrated a love of learning and the art of patience. Dane's patience allowed him to work diligently with a student until he or she "got" it. He brought an enthusiastic spirit to his classroom, along with his wonderful sense of humor. In addition to the difference he made for children in the classroom, Dane was also recognized for his great coaching abilities. He loved competition, but always taught sportsmanship. He had a natural ability to expect and get 100 percent effort from his athletes. He was often fondly referred to as "Mr. C."Dane retired from teaching in 2002, and fully enjoyed his retirement years. Dane would spend winters in Sun City and summers in Whitewood. He loved to play cards and golf, and he pursued both with zest following his retirement. His love of cards and golf allowed him to make and cherish many new friendships both in South Dakota and Arizona. Faith, family and friends were what mattered most to Dane. God was Dane's constant source of strength. His steadfast and strong faith allowed him to accept his diagnosis and ultimate death with unwavering confidence that he would have eternal life. Always able to bring out the best in people, Dane will most be remembered for his quick wit, his infectious smile, his beautiful blue eyes, his funny stories and his compassionate, generous soul. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. Dane will especially be missed by family members left to grieve his absence
