Born February 25, 1994
Passed away January 9, 2021

Born and raised in Lincoln, NE

Dillon was a proud father and always tried to be the best dad he could be. He loved spending time with his daughter Madison or his little Peach as he called her. He didn’t have much time with Brantley after he was born, but he was able to see and hold him several times.

Dillon had many hobbies and interests including at a young age helping to work on cars with his Grandpa Denny and uncle Rich in the garage. Growing up Dillon also enjoyed spending time at the lake either fishing or tubing behind the boat with his family and friends. On the weekends he would like to go out with his family to ride four wheelers and enjoyed shooting sporting clay with his cousin and friends.

Dillon was known for his sense of humor. His cousin Taylor remembered he was always trying to play pranks and had a joke ready. He loved to make people laugh and smile. His cousins will never forget the time he glued quarters to the ground as a joke and tried having someone pick them up. His family will forever remember his giggle and laugh.

Dillon enjoyed going to car shows and seeing vintage cars. He was known for doing burn outs in his truck. He enjoyed working on cars with his buddies, hanging out with his friends for they meant a lot to him over the years.

Dillon’s best friend and companion was his dog Nova Bear, she got him through his roughest days while battling brain cancer. Although Dillon’s time on earth was short, he will always be remembered in our hearts and will be greatly missed.

Dillon is survived by his daughter, Madison Jo Capps, son, Brantley Richard Capps, mother, Rene Capps, father, Andrew Jones, half-sister Olivia Jones, half-brother, Teague Jones, aunts & uncle, Richard and Rochelle (Burianek) Capps, Kirk and Denise (Capps) Drake, cousins, Zach Capps, Matt and Chelsea (Capps) Kotera, Taylor Drake, Carson Kotera, mother of children, Cara Capps, great aunts & great uncles, and Many friends.

Danny Milton Cade

featured image

Danny Milton Cade, 70, of Lincoln, went to be with our Savior on October 17, 2020. A Celebration of Life service will be held at 10:30am, Friday, November 13, at Lincoln Berean Church, followed by a classic car/motorcycle procession (weather permitting) to The Shrine Center for a luncheon.

Danny was born in Maryville, MO on November 6, 1949. He spent his childhood years in Clarinda, IA before moving to Grand Island, NE when he was 15, later graduating from Grand Island Senior High. On May 20, 1972, Dan married his best friend, Pam Jensen. The two met when Pam worked as a medical assistant and took x-rays of Dan’s back.

Pam and Dan had two children, Jana and Chad. Jana married Craig Volzke and they had two daughters, Hadley and Bailee. Chad married Dawn Kieborz and they had a son, Kason and a daughter, MaKynlie.

Aside from the love of his family, Dan’s passion in life was the roar of an engine. His younger years were spent working alongside his dad at Roy Evans Chrysler Plymouth Dealership. This led to the building of late model race car chassis for Clayton Peterson Racing Products. “Big Dan the Used Car Man” also sold cars for Diers Motor Co. before opening Countryside Auto and Body Shop. He eventually moved to Lincoln, NE where he spent his days at car auctions wholesaling vehicles for his brother and their late dad. His other interests include spending summer weekends at the dirt track, with Pam by his side, watching their favorite drivers. “King Man”, was an avid fastpitch softball player for many years. He passed his softball wisdom onto both of his children, even coaching Jana’s team for a number of years.

When he wasn’t at the track or on the field, he was enjoying the freedom of the road on his Harley. “Nokee” was a member of the Sesostris Shrine Iron Nobles and Gun Club, and a member of the Rough Riders Motorcycle Club. The strong camaraderie he gained from his fellow members turned into a fierce brotherhood. Other activities Dan enjoyed were fishing, bowling, shooting pool and golf.

Nothing could ever compare to the time he spent with his four grandchildren and attending their assorted activities. When Dan walked into a room you were drawn to his stories and his genuine heart. He had an uncanny ability to make connections with people and become instant friends. Danny was whitty and full of one liners. He loved shenanigans, being ornery and making others laugh.

Dan is deeply missed and survived by his wife, Pam, their two children and four grandchildren, his brother, Randy Evans and family and sister, Kelly Evans and family. Dan is reunited in heaven with his parents, Roy and Deloris Evans.

Celebration of Life to be held to be held Friday November 13, 2020 at 10:30am at Lincoln Berean Church; 6400 South 70th Street, Lincoln Nebraska 68512. Please use the North Entrance.
