EINAN’S FUNERAL HOME

Daniel Diesel Frank Heidelberg, 45, of Richland, passed away Sunday,

August 22, 2004, at home surrounded by family and friends. Dan was born

in Richland on October 21, 1958, to Wert and Donna Heidelberg, the

youngest of four children. Dan graduated from Columbia High School

Richland High in 1978. Dan married Tami Rodgers on October 18, 1986,

and they made their home in Richland, where Dan worked as a Nuclear

Process Operator for CH2M Hill Hanford. Dan is survived by his wife Tami

and their canine kids, Molly and Sammy, his father Wert, his sisters Diane

George Rodney, and Denise Rowe, and his brother Don Tracy. Dan was

preceded in death by his mother Donna in 2003. Dan was a special uncle to

his nieces and nephews and godfather to many friends' children. Dan will

be remembered by so many for his joy of life in all things, from hunting and

fishing, to playing the air guitar to the strains of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and

cooking up sides of beef to share with his friends. We will miss you, Diesel,

and will think of you often. Services will be at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, August

27, 2004, at Columbia Community Church, 150 Gage Boulevard, Richland.

The family suggests donations to the Tri-Cities Cancer Center or the Tri-

Cities Chaplaincy.
