Daniel “Dan” Chase was born on April 8th, 1942 in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine to Duane and Olivia Bagley Chase. Dan married JoAnn Hoppe on March 10th, 1979 in Austin, Texas.

He is survived by his wife of 39 years, JoAnn; three daughters: Desree and Phil Reynolds of Burnet, Dondi and Robby Hinds of Bertram, Danette and Frank Contreras of Austin, three brothers: Bill and Chan Chase of California, Dick Chase of Colorado, Dave and Juli Chase of Maine, eight grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren and many nephews, nieces, great-nephews, and great-nieces who loved him very much. Dan is preceded in death by his parents, two brothers: Jim and Bernie Chase Dan lived a full and happy life. He was born and raised in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, but always said “I came to Texas as fast as I could”.

He and JoAnn moved to Fredericksburg in 2004, and after settling in, his goal was to find the nearest and best golf course. His great passion was the game of golf. He belonged to the Lady Bird Johnson Golf Course in Fredericksburg.

He also was a member of the Super Senior Men’s Golf Association, serving as vice-president. His favorite golf hat told how much he loved the game; it reads “Eat, Sleep and Play Golf”. He also loved UT Longhorn football.

Even though he never attended the school, he always said “if you are living in Texas, you just have to love those Horns”. Per Dan’s wishes, he will be cremated and a memorial service will be held at a later date. His family wishes to thank the Audie Murphy VA Hospital and all it’s doctors and nurses who are so kind and compassionate to our country’s veterans.

Also, there aren’t enough words to express the thankfulness to the Ave Maria Hospice in Fredericksburg for their wonderful care and compassion during his last journey. Dan will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
