Daniel Scott Poppensiek
7/10/1952 - 1/18/2004

Daniel “Dan” Scott Poppensiek
Dan Poppensiek, age 51 of Bellingham
born in Logan, Utah on July 10,
1952 to Warren and Muriel Poppensiek.
“Our Dan”, with the twinkle in his eye.
Everyone who met Dan was touched by
his humor, his generosity and his love
for life. His love of the outdoors
was matched only by the love for his
wife Jan and his three stepchildren.
Dan’s life was so full of stories and
humor; he had a way of bringing smiles
to everyone’s faces. Although he
departed us at the young age of 51, he
lived a life so full of experiences
and adventures that it would take most
people two lifetimes to match.
Dan had a heart that overflowed for
everyone. He was always willing to
give anything he had to help others,
even people he only knew for a short
while. His magnetic personality and
charm drew people close to him. He had
friends from all walks of life.
After many years of “soul searching”
Dan embraced the Lord, being death by his mother Muriel, father
Warren and step-father Harry
Congdon.
Memorials may be made to the “Daniel
Poppensiek Memorial Fund” at Whatcom
Educational Credit Union, to be used
for a memorial gift for “Our beloved
Elizabeth Park” in honor of Dan’s
memory.
