Please take a few minutes and register on KHOU's board. They started a thread there and it would be nice if many of us could pay our respects.

As I stated on the Khou weatherboard, this hurts. We enjoyed Dan for 5 years on the board ( Could have been longer, I can not remember). He was our rock, our mentor, our friend and our referee. We miss you SO much Dan.

While I didn't interact with him much, this is sad to hear. :( Rest In Peace, Dan.

I join my friends in mourning the loss of a husband, father, friend and fellow weather lover. May all find a place of peace, with time, which lets in a smile for how much Dan offered in life. :( -WLD

Posted on KHOU's website as well. I know that so many of you have been touched by Dan and vice versa. He obviously enjoyed what he did. I'm sorry for KHOU's loss.

He will be missed! There were a few times he would take the time to stop and explain questions I had about weather. I never forgot that!

Praying for family during these hard times.

I have known Dan since the mid 1980’s. Dan Meador was a class act and the most gracious man you would ever want to meet. Dan always took the time to speak to folks, no matter the setting and was easy to approach. I was one of the lucky folks that knew and interacted with him on a personal level. When Dan started asking me if I would help out on the Forum as a Moderator, I fought. I would tell him I did not want to be the ‘internet police’. I will never forget the morning I woke up as Ike was entering the Gulf and logged in to the Weather Forum as usual and was greeted to a Welcome Topic concerning a new Moderator. It was me! I almost spit my coffee on the keyboard. I recall the e-mail that came from Dan later that day titled Opps! He always had a plan, but sometimes forgot to let you know. It has been an honor and a privilege to be able to call Dan my friend for so many years. In all the months leading up to these events, we shared, cried and planned. I am a better man for knowing Dan Meador. As I told him yesterday, I love you and thank you for sharing your life with us. A special thanks to the Storm2k family and staff for all of your support and well wishes.
