Dan DeLoach, 48, entered into eternal rest on September 30, 2011 in Manteca, California.  He was born on January 16, 1963 in Livermore, California.

Mr. DeLoach is survived by his girlfriend, Cheryl J.

Dan’s childhood was spent in Othello, Washington, and he spent the past 30 years in the Manteca/Stockton area.  He was a merchandiser for several retail hardware and lumber sales stores.  Dan’s greatest passion was his love for the Lord.  He was an active member of Quail Lakes Baptist Church in Stockton.  He created a ministry at his church called “Servant’s Heart” that helped serve the elderly, single mothers, and widows.  Dan absolutely loved the outdoors and treasured spending time with his family, as well as golfing.  He will be forever missed.
