Lance Jorn Dakin Obituary
We are sad to announce that, on September 24, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Lance Jorn Dakin in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
Though Lance may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Lance touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.
He was predeceased by: his wife Louise Liu Dakin; and his parents, Melvin Gerald Dakin and Myrtle Anderson Dakin. He is survived by: his grandchildren, Paul and Joy; his sister Karen Dakin Calderon; and his sister-in-law Ann Lyons. He is also survived by nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Universalist National Memorial Church in Washington, DC or the Friends of the University of Michigan Gilbert & Sullivan Society [where Jorn and Louise first met working on the stage crew] at the links below .
