On February 4, 2019, our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle, Dan C.
Dan is survived by his beloved wife of 56 years, Judith Tye Stone; loving children, Andrew Stone and his wife, Tracey, Holly Stone and Heather Dunkerly and her husband, Todd; cherished grandchildren, Caitlin Pizarro and her husband, Mario, Courtney Litzenberger, Jessica Stone, Christian Litzenberger, Mason Piper, Brittany Stone, Chloe Litzenberger, Madeline Piper, Emily Stone, Claire Litzenberger, Alexis Stone, Megan Piper and Matthew Piper; and his dear brother, Curtis Stone. He is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.
Dan was surrounded with more love and affection than you can imagine. He was strong, hoped for more time with us, but was ready to go adore our Lord in His Heavenly Kingdom. We are grateful to have had enough time to tell him we cared about him, and thank him for being so wonderful. We will miss his wisdom, compassion, and humor. We are thankful his suffering was relatively short and he is at peace. The last words he heard was each of us telling him how much we love him, and that each of us would keep this promise… when he was diagnosed in November, he took each of his children aside and asked them to take care of our Mom. On hearing we will honor his wish, with the song “Onward Christian Soldiers” filling the room, he peacefully ran into his Savior’s arms.
