Daniel Michael Mahon passed away at 7:54 am on Monday, September 27, 2021. Born on October 2, 1962, he was a young and healthy 58. In the last few years, and besides family and friends, Danny had two passions: cycling and Fig (sh Read Obituary
I worked with Dan over the past 15 years at 3 different companies. Dan was a funny guy. He didn't show worry or stress about anything that life sent his way. He was always happy and would let things roll off his back...and would say, "well, that's just how it is." I would call Dan when I was stressed about something at work or home, and he would always put it in perspective for me - he was a great sounding board!
We would often talk about our similar interests on health and exercise. We'd share our stories on the latest craze for optimal health, whether it be intermittent fasting, drinking beet juice to increase your nitric oxide, bulletproof coffee and the best foods to eat for energy and fitness. Whenever our teams got together on the road, Dan and I always were the two at the table ordering salmon. I don't think I've ever found anyone who eats salmon as much as I do. I have many, many fond memories of work events and traveling with Dan -- lots of laughs as we were all one big happy family!
Dan loved his Peloton. I remember the last in-person meeting we had (before Covid), it was in Raleigh. He actually rented a van and drove down from VA to Raleigh with his Peloton in the van so he could exercise in his hotel room! That's commitment...he really loved riding.
Every time we spoke on the phone, before we hung up, I would say good-bye, but Dan would always say "later!" Well Dan..."later" my friend -- I will see you LATER!
With deepest condolences,
Mary Gardiner
I am so sorry for your loss
Dan’s Lisa was one of our daughter Kris Cooper’s closest friends from the time they met in high school in 1987. Because of Lisa, we came to know her and her parents really well. They’re all beautiful people…..so, it wasn’t surprising that Lisa & Dan met & married, having a beautiful marriage and children ❤️✝️️.
We were heartbroken hearing of Danny’s passing. Dan did EVERYTHING right health-wise. He loved his family and friends …….completely devoted.
We are SO sad!
All our love and prayers,
Janet & Ken Manell
I am fortunate to have known you and I enjoyed the times we got to ride together even if I spent most of the ride chasing you after you dropped me going up the hills. You always had a smile on your face and words of encouragement when I felt I couldn't keep up.
