Daniel Ross Pyland

I met Danny in early 86. I Merriad his sister Michele In 87. I worked the oil patch for 3 years and we were on the same location a few times. The person I met back then never changed. He will always be Missed. Shit.

Danny was as good a guy as you could hope to meet. Working together was easy going and it was a privilege to be able to learn from his work experience. But what stood out most to me was how he would light up talking about his family. He worked to live and his family was first. You will be missed, rest easy.

Danny always had a smile and laugh that was infectious, Danny work teams respected him dearly, Danny was a true leader, Danny often talked about his family at work and how much he loved them all. RIP my friend….Russ

I remember interviewing Danny over the phone and then flying him out to meet in person. I thought this guy is as cool in person as he was over the phone. Danny was a good guy to work with and will be missed. As a life long Yankees fan I’ll be rooting for my team this World Series, but if we lose! I’ll have some comfort in knowing Danny is up there smiling ear to ear for his Dodgers.

Danny was a hell of a man that I called brother he was always smiling and happy I am going to miss our phone conversation brother RIP Danny Pyland see you on the other side someday

Our families met through softball many years ago & became fast friends. So many good times shared, dancing, drinking beer, pulling pranks, softball tournaments, Super Bowl parties & BBQ’s. Frank considered Danny his brother & will miss hearing his laugh & phone calls.Our hearts were broken when we heard the sad news of his passing, big hugs to Mercedes, Holly & Matt Boy.
Love, Frank & Lisa

This saddens me very much, Danny was one of the best guys I ever had the pleasure to work with. Unfortunately I was never able to let him know how much he impacted and taught me about being a tool hand. He will be deeply missed Rest in peace.

I had the great pleasure of working around Danny for two years & shared an apartment together for a little over a year in Williston ND. We would sit around talking about all the new changes at work or how much things have changed since he first got in the oilfield . You could always tell that he took great pride in his work, just by listening to what he had to say. Danny was a great coworker & an even better friend. He will truly be missed by myself & many others.

I had the pleasure of working with Danny at ExxonMobil in williston ND. It is sad to know he is gone. He was great to work with, hell of a good hand and willing to help anyone. Danny definitely cared about his crews as if they were his own family. Danny didn’t take no shit from anyone and that’s why we got along. He is the kind of man who will truly be missed. I will keep his name alive as long as I am alive and able too. When we speak of him in the grease orchards it will be with high regards and good times.

Danny was a pleasure to work with and is truly missed. His loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless

My condolences to the family, God bless

God bless Daniel, and his family.

I had the pleasure to work with Danny for the last year and he always had the best attitude and was fun to be around and never got worked up at all and was a jokester and kept guys on there toes. Great guy and is going to be missed by all for sure.

I am thinking of you all during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am so sorry for your loss .
