Daniel Francis Turner

Dan attended St. Robert’s Grammar School and Serra High School (Class of 1968). He then went on to graduate from Seattle University in 1973, where he was manager of the basketball team and along the way accumulated a wealth of lifelong friendships. He was passionate about music, theatre arts, historical and classic literature, photography, golf, and above all, people.

How does one describe a life so well lived and full of love? Dan invested deeply in the lives of his friends and family. He consistently took the time to listen and celebrated both the big and small joys of life. Dan was always emotionally engaged and present, whether in person or calling on the phone to check in, he gave his full attention and heart. Among many other things, Dan was a great mentor to the younger generation. He took such incredible interest in the lives of others, and had the gift of making you feel important. Dan took pleasure in your accomplishments, and his good nature and encouragement endeared him to everyone he knew.

To know Dan Turner was to be loved by Dan Turner. Love lives on forever.

Preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Anne Turner, he leaves to cherish his memory: his loving wife, Debbie Turner, his sister and best friend, Judie Turner Harris, his brother-in-law, Stuart Harris, as well as scores of friends and extended family members all who deeply mourn his passing.

There will be a mass to celebrate Dan’s life on Friday, November 17th, at 10:30 AM at St. Roberts Church, 1380 Crystal Springs Rd., San Bruno.

The family is asking that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in honor of Kasey Schumacher:
