I've only known Dan for a short time; myself and another Barrow Amateur Radio Club member, the current president, Mike, W4WYI were lucky enough to assist in some antenna work over at Dan's this past spring.  There was a great turnout, by SEDXC members, and others, think there were about 8 or 9 of us.
 
Had the pleasure of visiting his shack afterwards, was pretty awesome.

This is very sad news.  Dan was a true gentleman.  I remember when I was first licensed and chatting wit him on the repeaters during drive time.  He always had some good advice and direction for a "rookie".
 
Also, he did consulting work in our building at Cox Enterprises in the early 2000s and we would get together for lunch in the company cafeteria occasionally - quite refreshing to discuss DX, antennas, etc. versus the regular business chatter.  He will be missed.

I am heartbroken to publish that my dearest friend, Dan Nixon, W4EA, died yesterday. Arrangements are pending.
A moment of thought and prayer for him and his family is all I ask.
 
Thank you,
