Oregon skydiver and BASE jumper Dan Self left us a couple weeks ago.

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.

I met Dan a few years ago. Nice guy....very outgoing.

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?

he was the first person i met when i moved to oregon, and the absolute friendliest dude. we did an AMAZING memorial jump just a few weeks ago for him and it was fuckin sick. BSBD, fly high out there diveout

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.
