Daniel Edward Hines, 47, passed away in Juneau, Alaska on October 11, 2014 after a 10 month battle with brain cancer.

Born on December 22, 1966 in Ketchikan, Alaska, he grew up there graduating from Ketchikan High School in 1985. He moved to Juneau in 1989 and worked for Aero Services.

He had a passion for the Alaskan life and a sweet smile. A loyal friend to the end, he loved music, history, and the outdoors. He took every opportunity to fish, hunt and explore the islands of SE Alaska. He was a dedicated husband and shared these loves with his

family.
