Tullis and Martha N. Young both of Ringold, Louisiana. He attended Pearl River High School, was an avid gun collector, loved fishing, and anything outdoors. He was a member of 1st Harvest Church of Waveland, Mississippi and was known as "Colonel Dan". Dan was a proud Patriot, loved his Country and his fellow Americans.

Dan also has a sister, Tina (Paul) Cooper of Pearl River, Louisiana and a brother, Albert (Debbie) Tullis of Picayune, Mississippi and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by both parents; and one sister, Barbara Tullis- King. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
