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.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 1st 2025 at 4:00 PM at the Saint Paul's United Methodist Church (1956 Ferguson Rd, Allison Park, PA 15101).
