Daniel A. Hurley

CARIBOU – Daniel Anthony Hurley, 58, died August 21, 2019 at his Caribou residence surrounded by his family following a short battle with cancer. He was born in Houlton, August 9, 1961 the son of Frank J. and Donna R. (Merritt) Hurley. Dan was a 1981 graduate of Caribou High School, and was also a graduate of NMVTI with a degree in computer electronics. He was a member of the Holy Rosary Catholic Church. Dan was employed by Time Warner Cable for a number of years, and more recently drove show truck for Corbin Saddle Company, traveling all over the country for various tradeshows. Dan was known as “Mr. Fix-It”, even if he didn’t know how to fix something he would always find a way. He took great joy in puttering around the house, and special care was taken when mowing his lawn on his zero-turn mower. His sense of humor will be missed by many. Surviving in addition to his mother of Caribou, is his sister, Catherine C. Begert and husband Frank of Sabattus, two nieces, Julie Begert of Sabattus, and Jennifer Jacques and husband Matthew of Lewiston, a great-nephew, Collin Jacques, many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was predeceased by his father Frank in 2012, as well as his grandparents. Dan will also be missed by his therapy dog, Ladybug, whom he loved very much even though their time together was short.
