Dan "Boone" Spiering will be greatly missed But never forgotten. He passed away on June 1, 2011 after the most courageous and amazing battle against Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS). The hardest thing for Dan was not being able to live life to the fullest as he always had. Anyone that knew him knows it was all or nothing- always. Dan loved so many things about life: fishing, hunting, NASCAR, Eagle Raceway, World of outlaws especially at Knoxville, cooking and grilling for friends and family, gardening, building anything, fixing anything, the Huskers, the Raiders, His Bud Heavy, His Dog Buckshot even though he has bit everyone, and his job at BNSF. He loved his friends and family and never called anyone by their real name because he had nicknames for everyone. He would give the shirt off his back for all those he loved with no questions asked as well as stop to help a stranger. My brother is my hero. As kids we played together inventing new ways to have fun- even pulling the Christmas lights out every Saturday morning just to see them blink.
Our family has been through so much together but we survived it all by growing from one another's strength. I love you so much Danny, Your Sister.
