Daniel Paul Jordan, 53 of Dallas, Texas passed away early Sunday morning, February 13, 2022 at Baylor Scott & White Hospital. Dan was born December 2, 1968 to Judith Dollar. Dan's father, Jude Dollar, came into his life at a very young age. Dan graduated from Negaunee High School in 1987 and immediately joined the U.S. Air Force, and later the Air National Guard specializing in aircraft avionics.

Dan married his wife of 25 years, Amy (Erickson), on October 4, 2003. He was then hired by Collins Aerospace and they moved to Iowa where they lived for nine years. Dan thoroughly enjoyed traveling throughout the world for the company, visiting five of the seven continents. Work allowed them the opportunity to follow their dream to live in the Dallas area. In his spare time, he enjoyed going to concerts and guitar shows. Dan had a love of playing guitar, enjoying unique cuisines, and spending quality time with friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Judith and Jude Dollar, and his brother, Richard Jordan.
Dan's life will continue to be remembered and celebrated by his wife, Amy Jordan; his two sons: Daniel (DJ) and Kelsey (Roy) Jordan Jr. and Dillon and Tana (Lakenen) Jordan; and two grandsons: Trey and Fin, with two more on the way this year. He is also survived by his brother, Allyn Jordan; his sister, Chris (Ed) Lee, sister-in-law Brenda Jordan, sister in heart Rita (Kevin) Haroski, and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Honoring Dan's wishes, there will be no official "service" but a Celebration of Life will be held in Marquette June 4, 2022. Details to follow.
Tributes
"The memories will linger on, but you will be missed amigo! "
"I am sending condolences to Dan's family and friends. He was a great guy and I am so honored to have had the pleasure to work with him. Dan taught me a lot and he was a great instructor. He let me sit in on his training as an assistant, but I am the one who benefited by seeing his professional yet personable teaching style. I will never forget Dan and I pray for you peace and comfort. Sincerely, Karen Hackley"
"I am so very sorry to hear about Dan's passing. My Mom saw the obituary in The Mining Journal and our hearts broke. Dan was my cousin (my Mom is his Mom's sister) and even though we weren't close, I always remember his Mom and Dad sharing stories about how proud they were of him. Thinking of his family during this very difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. -Jennifer Seddon Hogge and Karen (Romback) Seddon. "
