Daniel Boston Obituary
Adventurous and thrill-seeking, Dan loved riding dirt bikes and mountain bikes, and Jeep four-wheeling everywhere. An avid hiker and rock-hound, he was a master at flint-knapping and making jewelry from arrowheads he had chipped. He was a talented artist who loved teaching others interested in learning his craft. Passionate about the mountains and nature, he enjoyed hunting and fly-fishing with his brother, Bruce, and friends, and spent as much time outdoors with his wife, Karen, as possible.
Despite his fighting spirit, he succumbed to a sudden illness and went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, May 10, 2016.
He is survived by his loving wife, Karen Boston, two children; Daniel and Samantha Scott, six grandchildren; Krystal Berryhill, Nathan Sheppard, Justin Baird, Dale Scott, Duncan Scott, and Danielle Scott, and more than thirty nieces and nephews. Dan is also survived by his father; Benny Lloyd Boston, brother; Bruce Boston, sister; Elaine Folleto, extended family, and many friends.
Dan was a free spirit who loved and accepted everyone who crossed his path. He will be missed deeply by all who knew him.
Visitation, 3:00PM-4:00PM, Friday, May 20, 2016 at The Springs Funeral Services, 3115 East Platte Avenue, Colorado Springs, Colorado, 80909.
