Life story

" Daniel "Dan" J. Kane, 61, of Fredericksburg, VA, passed away peacefully on Sunday July 20, 2025, surrounded by his family. He was a true family man who cared very much for those closest to him, and greeted everyone with his vibrant smile, a witty remark, and a laugh.



Dan was an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox and, later, the Fredericksburg Nationals. He loved visiting his family at the beach in Scituate, MA, long road-trips, and he felt a deep connection to his Irish roots.



Dan grew up in Belmont, MA, attended Belmont High and matriculated at University of New Hampshire (UNH). He spent 30 years building an incredible career with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Department of Homeland Security. He began his career in St. Albans, VT and in 2015, transferred to headquarters in Washington, DC.



After 30 years in Swanton, VT, he and his wife moved to Fredericksburg, VA. He became involved in the community there, volunteering as an election worker.



Dan is survived by his wife Renee, his two children, Elizabeth (Zachary) and Patrick, his mother Barbara, his sister Shannon (Patrick) and brother David (Lorri), and his granddaughter Cecilia. He was predeceased by his father Joseph.



In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider donating to The Doorways (https://www.thedoorways.org/support/donate-now/) of Richmond, VA, an organization that greatly supported him and the family over the years.



On Saturday, August 23, the regular 4:30 pm Catholic Mass at St. Mary of the Nativity in Scituate Harbor will be dedicated to Dan, followed by a celebration of his life from 6-9 pm at the Scituate Harbor Community Building, 44 Jericho Road, Scituate, MA. "
