oh my goodness... I never even saw this in the NY Times. He was such an amazing singer/songwriter. Sigh. Will have to download some of his songs to play in remembrance.

He was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 2004. He made a point of publicizing the urgency for men to get the antigen test for this cancer (a blood test) and the physical exam.
He did beat it back, though he and his wife Jean knew it would be a lifelong awareness and management of the illness. Sadly, lifelong was just a couple of more years.
I don't think Dan would have been squeamish about getting the physical part of the test, especially if he had known...but he probably 'felt fine'.
Please nag the men you know to get checked....especially important after 40 years of age.
Beautiful voice and presence.

I'm Canadian......eh?
No, No, please say it isn't so!!!!! Oh my God, my eyes are welling up with tears.He is in my top 5 favourites artists of all time.......all time!!!!
Dan, if you only knew how your lyrics touch me in a way that is indescribable. Your songs bring me comfort when I'm down and smiles when I'm happy. RIP Dan....I light a candle for you.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

Dear friends,
Dan left us this morning at 6:00am . He fought a brave battle with cancer and died peacefully at home in Maine with his wife Jean at his side. His strength, dignity, and grace in the face of the daunting challenges of this disease were an inspiration to all who knew him.

I saw this the other day and I felt deeply saddened (and choked up & teary). He was so young! Definitely one of my favorite musicians, I loved his work, when we got married, we asked the vocalist to sing "Longer" in the middle of the ceremony. I love that song. His music touched so many people. RIP Dan, and may God bless your family.
Retired
I am devastated!!!! He was one of my favorite artists. "Leader of the Band" was my all time fav song of his. Oh heck, they were ALL my favorite!!
RIP Big D. You will be missed and your songs will live on.
Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever.

I read that the other day and was so saddened to learn it.
Ever since, "Leader of the Band" has been playing in my head nonstop.
Rest in peace, Dan.
