Whitworth mourns the loss of Dan Burtness, '11, who died a day after being injured in an auto accident at the end of April. Dan was traveling in Montana with four friends from Whitworth.
Born Aug. 3, 1989, Dan came to the university last fall as a freshman. He was a Mac man, described by his resident director, Sean Mulcahy, as "a deeply involved and loved member of our community" whose "unique sense of humor was a source of joy and laughter for so many people." Dan, who was involved in Young Life in his home state of Colorado, was remembered by his Whitworth resident assistant, Justin Jose, '09, as a young man who "lived life to the fullest because it was a lovely day that God had made. God shined through Dan, my man."
Dan is survived by his parents, John and Carol Burtness, his sister, Hannah, 15, his brother, Ben, 13, and his extended family and friends.
