Braintree, Massachusetts – The community is mourning the loss of Dan Eggers, a devoted husband, father, and friend, who passed away on August 11, 2024, following a courageous battle after a sudden cardiac event. Dan, who was well-known for his love of running and outdoor activities, experienced a severe cardiac event on July 25th while running in North Falmouth. Despite the immediate efforts of medical professionals and the unwavering support of his wife, Erin, Dan succumbed to complications from the heart condition after more than two weeks of fighting.
Dan’s passing has left a profound void in the lives of those who knew him. He was not only a cherished friend but also a beloved figure in the community. His infectious humor, positivity, and passion for life were evident in all his pursuits, from running to paddle boarding and biking. His presence brightened the lives of many, making his loss even more deeply felt.
Dan’s greatest joy in life was his family. He and Erin shared a love that began in their teenage years and blossomed into a strong, enduring bond. Together, they raised three children—Luke (17), Meghan (14), and Brendan (11)—to whom Dan was a devoted father. His commitment to his family extended to his wider circle, including his mother, Nancy Eggers, and his siblings, Tom, Peter, Christopher, and Caitlin, as well as his nieces and nephews.
In honor of Dan’s legacy and his dedication to his family, a memorial fund has been established to support the education of his children.
