Dan was born on February 12, 1951, in Pontiac, Michigan; the son of Elmer Slivester Halliday and Zelda Marie (Bell) Halliday. He married the former Loretta Ann Beck on May 31, 1969, and she survives. Together they shared 56 years of marriage.
He was a retired registered nurse. Most of his years in nursing he worked for Franklin Skilled Care Nursing Unit of Benton and later worked with DaVita Dialysis of West City.
Brother Dan loved his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He would witness and testify to people about his love for the Lord. He and his wife faithfully served at the Jackson Grove Baptist Church of Benton, where he served as the worship leader and he also served the church as a janitor.
He enjoyed witnessing about Jesus, participating with the Love Packages Ministry of Butler, Illinois. He also enjoyed watching nature, but most of all he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren.
