Daniel N. Leavell

Message from Larry Johnson, class of 1985

As one of Dr. Leavell's former students, I want to express my condolences and let you know that he was one of the professors that I have thought about many times and will never forget him. He impressed upon us the need to stay informed of our physical surroundings. He made geology a real and relevant subject for me.

Message from Al Packer

Sarah, my heart goes out to you and your family. May God walk very close with you, and wrap you in his loving arms.

Message from Jane Harf

Sarah, I remember when you and Dan moved into Stone Hall as I was moving out. Dan and I laughed that our careers tracked each other - first at Denison, then Ohio EPA. I was looking forward to running into him at the Farmers Market and sharing that I was following him to OSUN this fall. I can't express my sadness at the loss of a long time friend and my sympathy for you and your beautiful family. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. ~ Jane

Message from Joe and Irene Kennedy

Message from Joan Novak

Dear Sarah,

My heart goes out to you and your family at this time of great loss. Dan was a wonderful person and a great Denison colleague. He will be missed by so many as he will be remembered with fondness and respect. I wish there was something I could say to provide comfort but such words probably do not exist. At least you can know that many others are grieving with you and wishing you well..

Message from Susan Ferrand

Dear Sarah,
A friend in Granville called me this past Sunday about Dan's death. As others, I was so shocked. Since then, I have had you, Becca, Maria and Kate in my thoughts every day, throughout the day. I know you are four formidable, strong women, but I also can only imagine how devastating this is for each of you. I know indeed that you four were indeed the loves of Dan's life. He was a lucky guy to have found you and had these three wonderful girls/now women daughters in his family. While his death at such a young age is tragic, I am also reminded at what a blessed life he had with you four in it. My heart is reaching out to send you each love. Susan

Message from becky dils

My sincere condolences. I got to know Dan as an adult and often had lovely conversations about our his work in protecting our natural resources. The short but yearly conversations with Dan helped me understand his passion and pride that he had in his work. He will be remembered and missed.
