Dan Junior Thacker, 70, of Marion, died Friday morning, January 11, 2008 at the home of his daughter in Richwood. He was born May 11, 1937 in Canada, KY to the late Willie and Ida (Chapman) Thacker.
Dan had worked as a supervisor at Pennwalt/Atochem in Delaware. He was once an avid bowler, having bowled a perfect 300 during league play. He loved line dancing, and his zest for life led him to try more extreme activities like sky diving and cliff diving. He was a sports fan, especially of the Bengals and Reds; and was a NASCAR fan. Dan loved the Lord and had accepted Jesus Christ as his saviour. He was loved very much by his family and many friends and will be sadly missed.
