A beloved son, brother, husband, father and grandfather, Dan was a man who enjoyed the outdoors so much that he bought a motorcycle so he could feel the wind in his hair as he rode through Colorado.

Dan is survived by his wife of 19 years Eileen; daughter, Shaniqua Phillips; three grandchildren with one on the way: Elenna, Cruz, Luis and Jose; mother, Doris T. (Babb) Phillips; three brothers: Guy (wife, Valerie), Greg, and Charles Phillips; sister, Terry (husband, Larry) Guess; his trusty Yorkie, Koti; and a host of extended family members and friends.
