Dan De Leon.

It is with deep sorrow that I must inform
all Regional, State and National chess friends and enthusiasts
of the passing of Dan De Leon of Corpus Christi.

I knew Dan as a great chess enthusiast who toiled endlessly
to promote chess Regionally, Statewide and Nationally.
It never ceased to amaze me as to the amount of energy and vitality
that Dan brought to all the chess endeavors in which he was involved.

His passing creates a void in the lives of many, many people
both in and out of chess.


I feel immensely blessed to have had the opportunity
to have met and worked with Dan.

I am equally immensely saddened to no longer have him with us.

Please keep his wife, Chris, and his sons, Daniel and Andrew,
in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.


Dan's Rosary, Mass & Burial were beautiful and deeply
reflected the positive impact he had upon his community.
A fitting tribute for a wonderful man.
