Daniel Michael Dolen of Vero Beach, FL passed from this world peacefully at his home on January 2, 2024, suffering from Parkinson’s Disease. He was eighty years old.
Dan was born in Peoria, Illinois on November 11, 1943 to Edward S. and Marcella L. Dolen.
He married Linda Binder on June 26, 1971 and had 52 happy years together.
They had two children, son Daniel E. Dolen of Vero Beach, FL and daughter Tiffany (Scott) Russell of Birmingham, AL.
Dan’s life’s work was running Dolen Construction, a family business started by his father during the 1930’s. Father and son worked together for over 60 years hauling aggregate and building roads in the Peoria, Illinois area.
The work was a joy to him and instilled his incredible work ethic and tremendous skill in engine repair and machinery. He maintained the fleet of equipment himself ensuring safety and productivity for himself and his employees.
After Dolen Construction, Dan worked for Mitsubishi Motors and retired in 2005.
Dan and Linda relocated to Vero Beach, FL in 2014 and enjoyed an active community of friends for the last nine years.
Dan leaves behind his wife, Linda; son, Daniel E. Dolen; daughter, Tiffany (Scott) Russell; grandchildren, Sophia LaHood, Morgan Burruss and Austin Russell; his sister, Suzanne Valle; and several nieces and nephews.
The family requests that donations be made in honor of his name to the VNA & Hospice Foundation that gave him such comfort and outstanding care in his home during his final weeks. https://vnatc.org/waystogive/memorials-and-honorariums/ Where 100% of contributions are retained by the VNA & Hospice Foundation.

I had the privilege of being Dan’s neighbor for over nine years. Not only was he a gentleman, but he was my friend. Whenever I had a problem, he knew it and would say what can I do to help you. He would always ask me how are you and he meant it. He was so kind to me and walked my dog Ozzie for years while I was working hard. He always made sure that Ozzie was safe and had Water and Food and they were real buddies. Ozzie would race across the street when he saw Dan outside, they loved each other. I loved him too. He was a wonderful man and a kind neighbor, and a very good friend. I will miss him dearly.

Dan was quite a man. I’ll never forget when he came into my office for an interview dressed to the nines. It was a sincere privilege to have known him and to work with him. He was one of the kindest men I have known. He has been dearly missed since his retirement from Contractor’s Disposal by all who worked with him. We are all very sad.
My sincere condolences to the family for your loss.
