Brad, Toy, and Rachel Bell left a message on January 6, 2012:
Kelly, Daniel, Deanna, and Dana, We are deeply sorry for your loss. No, all of our loss. As I look back on my career there are a handful of folks that truly inspired, influenced, and motivated me. Dan is at the top of that list. By influencing my career, he certainly influenced my life. Toy and I often reminisce about the good old days and fun times on past projects and Dan and Kelly
Pete Hedberg left a message on January 4, 2012:
Dan was one of the good guys. I really enjoyed working with him at "M-K". He kept me on the straight and narrow when times were turbulent at work. His cool head seem to always prevail. He was a good friend. My deepest condolences to his family. Pete Hedberg

Darron Rolle & Family left a message on January 5, 2012:
Dan, you were as genuine and authentic with me the first day I met you as you were the last day I saw you. You looked me in the eye and told me it was good to see me. We talked about old memories and laughed about how long it had been. I loved you for your sincerity and real authenticity as a man - not just a manager. You are missed. Love, blessings and peace to you and your family. I'll have one for you, my friend! God Bless.
Andre & Mary Aube left a message on January 6, 2012:
Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Kelly and the kids. It was an honor to work for such a wonderful human being. He was a man's man and he was a family man, and most of all he was a good man.
Gary Beasley left a message on January 6, 2012:
I only saw occasionally on the E-470 project, but was given a great opportunity when he moved on to the Level 3 project. With his confidence, support and friendship- the Level 3 project was a great key in my career development. He was more than a boss but an intelligent, compassionate and wonderful man. His love of life, family and career were well balanced. I only wish I could tell him hi again. My thoughts go out to his family, it won't be the same without him. I'm sure though, he's got everything in order where his soul is now.

Kelly and family; I was so sadden for you when I learned the news of Dan's sudden passing. Know he is in a wonderful place and God is beside you every moment of the day. I will never forget the hug he gave me just a few short weeks ago in my church. God Bless.
Kim Goff left a message on January 16, 2012:
For those who were unable to make Dan's Celebration of Life - it was incredibly moving with much laughter through tears. The Driver family's incredible strengh through their faith was something special to see. Kelly was actually consoling us! Dan cut a huge swath and if a man is judged by the quality of those that attend his funeral is true...then Dan was a great man. I will miss him terribly every single day.
Linda Harris left a message on February 20, 2012:
I just heard the news. My heart broke. I loved Dan Driver. My heart and prayers are with Kelly, Daniel, Deanna and "p-diddle". He was a special person.
Kim M. Goff left a message on March 21, 2012:
Its been 3 months since Dan has left us. As I sit at my computer at work...I think of Danny so often and no amount of comfort can stop that choking in my throat and ache in my heart. I miss him daily. Kelly - I pray you are well and that you feel Dan's love surround you every minute.
Carl Mason left a message on June 20, 2012:
I just heard of Dan's passing this month in June, 2012. Dan and I were good buddies at University of New Mexico where we were freshman and played on the Lobos Football team. Dan and I had many good memories and laughs together. I write this with deepest sympathy for Kelly, his sisters and the children. It must be a great loss to lose (at least in this life) such a geniune and kind man. With love, Carl
Kim Goff left a message on January 4, 2012:
Dan and I spent many a day screaming and yelling at each other behind closed doors but always came out respectful friends at the end of the day. I loved Dan Driver, I loved working for him, I loved his friendship and I loved talking to him. I had just talked to him 12/21/11 when he called to wish me happy holidays. I cannot imagine life without Dan Driver in it, I almost sent him something on a new power plant just yesterday...then realized he wasn't there and I just started crying. I will miss him so! Kelly, I am so very sorry for your loss - wish I could just hug you. I will see you tomorrow.

Kelly, I cannot stop thinking of you and your family. Dan got me through my first few months at Kiewit - he was my "Work Dad". He always took such good care of me. I have such good memories of Dan and so do so many other people - such a good man. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Kelly, Stan and the Kids, Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the unexpected loss of Danny. He was my friend and I will sorely miss him. Know that outside of his family, Dan has a remarkable reeputation for integrity, committment and keen intellect. He was truly admired by those of us that had the honor of working with him. God Bless you all, Steve and Anne

Dan provided the single greatest influence in my career development
Katie and Russell Satrom left a message on January 4, 2012:
We were so sad to hear of Dan's passing. My husband and I didn't get to work with him much but just enough to be excited when we saw him at district events. One thing we loved about Dan was that he just loved my husband :) This was such a joy for me because not everybody gets my husband! He's not always the easiest guy to work with but Dan totally understood him! We were lucky to know him! May God bless you and give you peace during this time.
