I am deeply sorry for your loss; it has been a long time since I have seen him. The last time was at a dance club which he and my brother (Tim) were dancing on center stage. It was quite a show.

My treasured “Danny Boy” This one is tough. How do I say goodbye to my dance partner, the first person to teach me all the line-dances I know. I would have never learned “That’s My Way” if it hadn’t been for you, and you and your wife gave me my adopted son Will who is Family to the Short Family. Rest well my friend and keep that line-dancing going in Heaven. You will be missed.

Long Live Niz !
Tara Brown-Durgans left a message on November 9, 2023:
Dan ("Niz") was always such a kind. jovial and giving man. I had the sincere pleasure of not only knowing, yet working with him through Student government, Black Student Alliance and Greek Councils while we were undergraduate students at Baldwin-Wallace College. His keen insights on how to bridge the gap between what was a racial divide on campus coupled with the active plans to navigate change was essential and very appreciated. His steadfast leadership, attention to the bigger picture, prolific embrace of our culture and service to the community can never be displaced. Also, one would be remised to not recall our fantastic experience of the: "Sigma * Sigma Soiree" which Dan and his fellow Brothers of Phi Beta Sigma showcased with Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority. Only wishes of ongoing love and peace to all that knew and experienced Niz!
