Daniel Wayne Jacobus

Dan passed quickly after a diagnosis of advanced cancer at the age of 81. He graduated from Roosevelt High and soon after, Dan enlisted and proudly served his country in the US Army. Dan began his career as a telecommunications technician in 1965 and retired from USWest/CenturyLink after 39 years of service. He and Pam then hit the road in the "big rig" and traveled the country as full time RVers for 18+ years. Behind the wheel was one of his favorite places. Dan cherished his family and any time spent with them. His granddaughter was the light of his life. Tucson became a winter home where he loved to entertain and cook for friends and family. He was known for being the go to guy for any tool or gadget you might need for a project. He is survived and dearly missed by his beloved wife, Pam; sons, Mark and Matthew (Melissa); granddaughter, Karley; and her mother, Kelley; sister, Maxine and many loving family members.
