Condolences
Donna, Michelle & Jordan,
We are so sad to hear about Dan. Our thoughts are with all of you during such a difficult time. Over the years knowing your family you could tell he was one proud Dad. He will be missed.

Sorry to hear the loss of Dan my thoughts and prayers go out to his family especially Donna and the girls, Dan and I were good buds during Jr high having a lot of baseball and hockey memories, some of my memories are his loud n proud stereo and record collection ,I can remember meeting his parents very nice folks and definitely saw where he got his sense of humor, life seems to have gone as fast as that ride home from st francis in his blue chevelle
Thanks for the memories Red
Dave MacDonald and family
Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to meet Dan, but his sister, Julie, spoke very fondly of his ability to connect to everyone and amazing sense of humor. It's so difficult to lose loved ones who made every room brighter just by walking through the doorway.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
My deepest condolences,
Dan had huge impact on who I am, we were working together in Midwest. There is no more people like him. Rest in peace Dan
I have had the honour of knowing Danny for 57 years. Through that time, I watched as he went from an annoying little kid to an inquisitive apprentice who challenged his older brother every day and then to becoming a father and respected member of the construction world.
I remember how mad he was when him and Pete had completed some 70 floors of perfectly level ceiling only to be required to adjust them out of level with what became known as the PSL Laser. Otherwise known as a stick.
I remember having to grab Danny off of a site at mid-day to go to Banff for what we thought was a two-day trip and then were stuck there for 8 days. Danny rolled with that punch until he couldn’t figure out another way to wear his underwear. That was on day 7.
As part of the Wm.Clark hockey team, Danny became my teacher. I couldn’t skate and he was so patient with me as I continually messed up.
I had the chance to take Danny to Florida for a tour of our Grid Plant and a little fishing a few years ago. What a time we had enjoying each other’s company, catching some fish, eating those fish, listening to some blues and enjoying the Florida experience.
Every so often I would get a call on a Saturday night from Danny just wanting to talk. He would tell me about his beautiful family, about the dogs and horses and we would revisit the old days and how intertwined the McMahon and Neubeker families were. They were wonderful talks and I will cherish them forever.
I am so sad to hear of his passing, but I understand that his wonderful sense of humour, his determination and his incredible attitude never left him.
I want you to know that I am so proud of what Danny became in his life. His love for his family, his curiosity and his respectful attitude were infectious and inspiring. I watched as he built an amazing culture at Mid-west that created opportunities for employees to better themselves.
I am so sorry that I cannot be with you during Danny’s celebration of life, but my thoughts are with you.

Doug and I became to know Dan and Donna during the 90's playing softball. Too many good times, laughs and bonding to remember them all, however there is one memory that I will have forever. After a hot day of ball with a great win, the team gathered back at our house for fun, hot tubbing and good food. It was a late one and Dan was drinking "GRUMS" (grape juice and rum) then fell asleep on our deck in a comfy lawn chair. I laugh to this day and cherish his carefree and hilarious demeanor. You are leaving too soon but I know that your kind heart lives on with your wife and girls. Thinking of you Donna during this difficult time and wishing you all the strength in the world. Heaven has gained a shining star which will be watching over daily.
RIP
Kind regards,
Colleen Delisle & Doug Coldwell
Our sincere sympathy to Donna, Michelle and Jordan, Peter and Julie and families. Thinking of you at this sad time. With love from the Kennys - Cathy (Slack), Henry, Steve & Jen, Larry, Greg & Cindy (Navan, Ontario).
Very saddened to hear about the loss of Dan. We played a lot of hockey and baseball together and had some pretty good wins along the way. Finding out we made the same teams was always great news. I have a lot of fond memories from the good times spent in junior high / high school and some years beyond. I can still hears Dan's (aka "Red Bed" coined Dave McDonald who also passed away too soon) laugh when I picture him. Dan had a great sense of humor and his laugh still makes me smile, and always will. My sincere condolences to all who's lives were touched by Dan.
So very sorry to hear this news, played hockey on various teams, attended a lot of rock shows and even went on a few trips for hockey and skiing with Danno in my early adulthood. Although we had lost touch, I still have many fond memories of Dan and still use may of his funny "Danisms". My condolences to all the family, he will be deeply missed. Rest in peace Dan
So sorry to see a fellow Dalhousie boy pass away. RIP Danny.

I spent the better part of ten years as Dan’s right-hand man at Midwest; he inspired continued loyalty, professionalism, and pursuit of perfection in our trade nearly 1000% of the time. I’m blessed to have spoken with him for nigh on twenty-five minutes on the Sunday before his passing, and he kept up his wry, patented wit even though he knew the end was approaching. Rest in Peace Dan; I’m sending all of my family’s support and prayers to Donna, Jordan, and Michelle.
Donna and family- so incredibly saddened to hear of Dan’s passing. He will be remembered fondly. We pray you will all find peace and comfort in your memories.
Love to all,
Laurie and Rollie Hill
Thinking of you Julie and all of your family. I send my deepest condolences and sympathy to you all. I understand how this loss feels and can only hope you are able to come together and share your wonderful memories with each other and fill your hearts with the joy those memories bring to help you through your grief. I only met Dan a few times, camping, and so agree with Lindy, he certainly was entertaining and could tell a joke like no one else. I was one of those sent to bed with stomach pain from laughing so hard. ❤️
Thinking of you Donna, Pete, Julie, Michelle, Jordan. I know he was a great husband, father, brother, friend, son and all around great guy. My best memories of Danny was as such a funny guy. He could tell a joke like no one else. An evening of jokes around the campfire sent everyone to bed with stomach pain from laughing so hard.
Our deepest sympathy go out to Danny's family. Rob Dunlop and myself did many jobs for Danny at Midwest where he treated us with the outmost respect and he'll be greatly missed in the construction industry! Lynn & Debbie Herauf
I send my deepest condolences to the McMahon family during this time of loss. Dan was a very stand up individual who was strong spoken and trusted by many of his colleagues. I met Dan through working at MidWest and learned a lot from him during my time there. There was many things that he said and taught to me over the years that still resonate with me. He made a large and wide impact in the construction community and he will be missed by many. May you rest in peace Danny!
