Diveout Dan Self - Oregon - 4/6/11
Oregon skydiver and BASE jumper Dan Self left us a couple weeks ago. Frown

It was not a BASE incident. According to the paper, there is a celebration of life planned in Eugene May 28th, 1:00 p.m. at Peace Presbyterian Church.

Diveout was a mentor, friend, and co-conspirator. He had nothing but good cheer inside and will be missed by many.

Dan visited us in Calgary a couple of years ago. It was a pleasure to jump with him. I'll always remember watching Dan's helmet bounce down 2000 feet of scree while he was stashing his canopy.

I enjoyed spending time with Dan while he was here too. He will be missed.

I attached a picture of us at the top of a windy cliff.

Haven't been on here for ages. We never had a chance to jump together but I hung out with him briefly in Portland a few years back he was a good guy I had a Chopper Reid style photo of me with his hand guns (a novelty to us Kiwis that aren't allowed them). Can anyone pm me how he passed?

Dan and I used to skydive together at Eugene Skydivers. He was always a sweet and kind man, definitely one of the winners of the group. He'd been over for bbqs to our house before and I always enjoyed his company. Nice guy. He will certainly be missed.

R.I.P.
