Dan was preceded in death by his father, John. He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Lori Curttright; daughter Kristen Curttright; sister Leanne Ashby; brother Bryan Curttright; and mother Rosa Curttright. He is also survived by numerous other relatives and countless friends. 

Dan served as a Pershing Missile Specialist in the United States Army from 1982-1986. He worked as an aircraft mechanic at American/TWA Airlines from 1987-2005. Since 2006, he was employed at Evergy/KCP&L at the Iatan plant as a Plant Operator and, most recently, as an Operations Supervisor.

Dan enjoyed golfing, target shooting, playing cards, and staying current with technology. He will always be remembered for his kind and gentle spirit, his quick sense of humor, his infectious smile, and his willingness to lend a hand to anyone in need.
