He was born September 27, 1943 in Cowen, West Virginia the son of Daniel and Naomi (King) Drysdale.
He was owner and operator of D&C Tractor Repair.
He enjoyed fishing, wood working, fixing things and hunting.
Dan’s greatest joys in life were his family and his work. He and his loving wife Cheryl spent many years raising a family and building their business together. He was an amazing father who taught all his children the value of hard work and honesty – two principles that he lived by.
Dan was a brilliant mechanic who could diagnose any problem with a short description from one of his many loyal customers. He started working on tractors when he was a teenager and did so right up until recently when his body wouldn’t let him any more. He will be sadly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
He is survived by his wife Cheryl (McKee) Drysdale whom he married July 28, 1984
