July 19, 1957 – Feb. 4, 2017
Paul “Dan” Sweeden of Eureka Springs, Ark. was born July 19, 1957 in Hot Springs, Ark. On Saturday, Feb. 4, 2017 at 12:45 a.m., Dan passed from this earth to a place free of pain and suffering. Sam Evans, his loving husband and partner of 37 years, and their best friend, Richard Allen, were by his side.
Sam will always miss Dan’s love and presence in his life. Sam is grateful for the many years they were able to spend together here on this earth; they truly shared an unconditional love for each other.
Dan’s beautiful cat and constant companion, Sophie, died unexpectedly later the same day as Dan’s passing. Their cremains will be scattered in a special place that Dan had chosen.
In respect of Dan’s wishes, he will be cremated and there will be no memorial service.

Dan was such a sweet guy. A totally selfless individual at that. The world could learn much from him. RIP Dan.
