About	Dan R. Dealy, 66, passed on to Heaven to be with the Lord and his loved ones on Monday, August 15, 2011 at Willow Springs Care Center in Yakima. Dan was born on November 11, 1944 to Cliff and Helen Dealy in Yakima, WA. He lived in Yakima all his life except when he served in the Marines. He graduated from Eisenhower High School in 1963 as a star athlete in baseball, basketball, and football. He also attended YVCC. After his military service he played fast pitch baseball for Pepsi Pack. He was an outstanding short stop and won the Triple Crown. Dan worked hard all his life driving semi-trucks for PDQ and Noel's Food then went on to work for CWI security. He finished his last ten years of work at Memorial Hospital. During that time he re-entered the Marine Reserves. He served his country with Bravo Company during the Desert Storm Conflict from 1991-1992. He was a very proud Marine! Dan was a member of the VFW Post 379 where he was commander of the Post from 1999-2000. He was also an active member in the American Legion and served on the VFW Funeral Team. The Green Bay Packers was his favorite football team. He enjoyed fishing, golfing, boating, and he loved music.

He is survived by his son, Sean and Crystal, two grandsons, Dylan and Gavyn; his niece, Kristian Rauscher; and his long time love and companion, Marlene Moreau.
