THE THIN BLUE LINE

Daniel (Dan) Stanley, 54, a native San Diegan, born July 1, 1953, passed away with his wife by his side in Pittsburg, PA. His strength and ability to fight for life ceased on Monday, July 30, 2007. 

Dan's courage and valor began twelve years ago in a battle to save his organs through a herniated intestine which caused most of his organs to become disabled. Dan then was flown back to the Medical Center of Pittsburgh where he received his first five organ transplant. A second chance was given in March 2007; Dan was granted the gift of receiving an additional five organ transplant. His diminishing strength had taken hold and has placed him in the supreme hands of God.

Dan served as a 29 year career officer of the San Diego Police Dept. He leaves behind his wife Carol Ann, two sons Daniel and Damian, daughter MiaRose, one granddaughter Ava, his mother Rosemary Stanley, two sisters and three brothers. 

As Dan was very popular in his community and well loved by all that new him, he will be truly missed.
