DYSON
Daniel "Dan" Dean Dyson, 42, of Winston-Salem, passed from this life recently into his Heavenly Home. Now he is with Jesus in a place where no sorrow or sickness will ever be. He was born Dec. 24, 1960, in Guilford County. He was the beloved son of Margaret and Donald Dyson of Kernersville. He served three years in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he received his G.E.D. He was a very skilled auto mechanic and worked at B&C Motors, where his patrons highly respected and loved him. He took several courses at Forsyth Tech to enable him to work on computerized cars. His dad says, "Dan knew more about repairing cars than anyone I know." Dan attended First Assembly Church of Winston-Salem. He is our cherished son, and we will miss him very much. Besides his loving parents, he is survived by his two beautiful daughters, Heather Joy Dyson and Melissa Dyson Rothrock and husband, Andy Rothrock, and their mother, Rene Dyson; two beautiful granddaughters, "Katie" Marie Rothrock and Emily Leanne Rothrock, all of Winston-Salem; his special brother, David D. Dyson of Kernersville; three uncles; two dear aunts; many wonderful cousins; and two special friends who were like brothers to him, Jimmy Walker and Mark Hill. The funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday, May 27, at Kerwin Baptist Church in Kernersville, with the Rev. Joe Myers and the Rev. Tom Wagoner officiating. The family will receive friends from 7 to 9 p.m. today, May 26, at Pierce Chapel in Kernersville, and at other times at the home of his parents, 413 Vance St., Kernersville.
