Mr. Frost is a teacher who I've always remembered. He and I butted heads for a short period of time before I really respected and enjoyed who he was and what he did. I graduated in 02' from Gladstone High School and am very happy to have had him as my History teacher. His lessons were life lessons looking back. Thank you! RIP, thoughts and prayers with the family.

I had Mr. Frost for economics. (Class of '98) I was not doing very well in it, and he was determined to help me succeed and pass. And I did! I still, to this day remember him and am so thankful that I had that chance to know him! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this time.

We feel blessed to have called Dan a friend. Will always remember his smile and his servant heart. What a joy it will be to see him again when we all share in eternal life with the Lord.

Mr. Frost taught my social studies class at Gladstone High School in 2003. I only had one class with Mr. Frost but his impact on me was great. He was strict, but also very fair. He made sure each student was ready to learn when they entered his classroom. I like to think myself and my two best friends were his favorite students, I think he let us believe that too.
Each time in the passing years when I would stop by the high school to walk the halls and say hello, I always made sure to see Mr. Frost. My condolences go out to his family, for if he made this kind of impact on me in one class--I couldn't imagine what impact he has made on everyone else.
Sincerely,
Madison Shampine

Mr. Frost, I still, to this day, tell stories about you and your social studies class at GHS. I enjoyed the special relationship we had as student and teacher. You are truly missed!

You will be remembered and respected in my memories. Thanks for paying attention and caring for your students as people. That is the lesson I carry on in my class because of you.

Mr. Frost introduced himself to us students as scantron Dan, rightfully fitting for someone who championed the simplicity of testing. I, like many others was privileged to be in his class in hopes to gain knowledge from his wisdom. He enjoyed teaching history especially when it came to selecting a book written by Louis L'amour and writing a report on it.
Mr. Frost also facilitated our Key club meetings for the GHS Key club. He let us run our own meetings for the most part and treated us like adults and only stepped in to get us back on track if he needed to.
I worked on a project for Mr. Frost when I told him I was involved with video production and though the project I did work on for him did not quite come out to what either of us had expected he was still appreciative that I tried and put forth the effort. I had always wanted to go back and do a better job on the editing of that film Tombstone, which is still one of my favorite films to watch thanks to Mr. Frost.
I was very surprised to find out that he and I went to the same Church. I wish I would have talked more openly to him, he was there to listen.
Though I have chosen my own path in life, I will say on a final note: Though Dan Frost leaves many loved ones behind, those same loved ones who want him here on Earth, we must not forget that it is not us but God who decides.

Dan touched so many lives. He had a heart of gold and left behind wonderful memories and so much love that will carry on for generations to come. Who knows how much he influenced his students and athletes... I'm sure he didn't even know about how much impact he made to so many. He was a wonderful husband to my cousin, Gae. Many are shocked and saddened that he was not allowed more time to be with us and we will miss him terribly. But he will live on thru his beautiful children and grandchildren and the generations to come. We are put here to make an impact on Earth and make it better by us being here and Dan did that in so many ways...he loved unselfishly and without expecting anything in return. He lived a life that we should all strive for and by doing so we know he is wrapped in God's loving arms.

Dear Gae & family. My heart just aches for you. I am in Ohio right now for a few weeks or else I would come to the church on Saturday for the memorial. Please know you are all in my daily prayers. What a gift it is to me that Butch & I met you both at Central. Dan was someone we both looked up to and respected his godly ways. My love to you all.

I have known Dan for many years and enjoyed having him in my 8th(?) grade bible class and remember him coming over several summers to till my parents garden with his rototiller tractor. Dan helped me learn to play basketball better during jr. high and enjoyed our talks about anything including basketball. Over the years I would run into Dan and Gae at restaurants, churches, stores, etc and it's always good to "catch up with them". Dan will be missed and we look forward to seeing him again someday. Dan was kind to invite me to his family's lunch at Old spaghetti factory several months ago and enjoyed a good meal with them. Love, Steve Womack

My thoughts of Dan are all very good memories. He was a wonderful Christian man. I enjoyed visiting with him so very much. I was not through listening to his words of wisdom and family history. I had planned on many more visits from him and Gae in the future. Now I will look forward to visits from Gae, Ty, Gina and Steve and children. But there will always be a big vacant spot in my heart without Dan. I loved him --my nephew.

I loved taking Mr Frost's Social studies class. He was a great teacher, and I will always remember how he had the whole class read Louis L'Amour books and write reports on them. I still remember the book I read because it was a good one. And I still think about Mr frost because he was a true Gem to Gladstone highschool.

Dan was my hero when I was in 6th grade in 1972. At my mother's request, He counseled me when I was a member at Eastside C of C. He even went to my school and addressed the girls that used to bully me at school on a daily basis. He actually took a group of girls and myself out of class and had us sit in a roundtable whereby he asked these girls why they hated me so much. They didn't have a good answer, if any. Dan wanted them to see that their behavior wasn't proving anything, only hurting someone else, meaning me. If it weren't for Dan, these girls would not have toned down their destructive behavior towards me. Also, he helped me cope with these horrible events that I faced on a daily basis. Thank you so much Dan for your intervention.

Leslie and I were very glad to be able to be at the service. It was a joy to hear the beautiful singing, listen to the comments from Brian and the others regarding Dan's life, and to see so many former students and friends. I will write more for you later in the form of memories that you may share with the grand-kids. Thinking of Dan and all he meant to me has brought back some wonderful memories, things that I haven't thought about in quite a while since living so far away from Columbia and Portland. We will be praying for you.

To the Family: I am truly sorry about your family’s loss, and I want to offer my condolences. Even though death is a part of life, its not always easy for us to handle and we may sometimes find it difficult to endure, but Gods Word the Bible gives us heartwarming comfort during our times of distress, one scripture in particular that gives much needed comfort is found at Revelation 21:3,4 which in part reads: "And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Your family will be in my prayers, my sincere condolences.

I was very sad to hear of his passing and unfortunately was not able to make the service but I wish I could have been there. I was one of his students, class of '02. I remember when I first went into his class and we were not a good fit and butted heads for a little while. Its usually those ones that you come to admire and respect because you realize what he's actually doing for you. I came to understand that his pushing and discipline was molding me into a better student and person. He was the only one who consistently pushed me to do better and kept encouraging when I wanted to quit school. I will always remember and respect him for that. Without him, I and probably many other students would not have made it through school. I credit him being the reason I graduated and have continued my education. He will be missed.
