Dan Ver Heul
2019 VP Parade/President-Elect
|
|
Dan volunteers for the Spokane Lilac Festival as a way to give back to his community, while also honoring the military. He became involved with the Lilac Festival in 2010 when his friend, Michael Dedmon, the VP of Parade at the time, asked him to help out with the Festival. Dan worked his way up from volunteering, joining as a Director and eventually becoming the VP Parade, which he has been for the past 5 years.
Dan also owns and operates the only local fireworks company in Eastern Washington, Rocketman Pyros. And if that wasn't enough, he is a Funeral Director with Dignity Memorial Funeral Homes. Dan’s background as a businessman helps him lead and organize the annual Armed Forces Torchlight Parade.
Dan and his wife, Chris, are proud parents of two children, Matt and Stephanie. They are also grandparents to a grandson and granddaughter. Dan enjoys spending time with the whole family and going to the beach (maybe to take long walks?)...when he can get there.
Thank you Dan for your service to The Lilac Festival!
