I'm sure he was a good guy - but his brother needs to get a reality check...and some humility.

A tear drops when I watch the video and remember what a great guy who knew how to work hard and have fun. Dane us fans miss you and Dutch Bros Coffee is going to go on, and now supporting ALS! I have been there from the first stand and the brothers have made the community of Grants Pass proud as the company supports many other causes especially the children. It all about the luv the Dutch luv that is you will get it at no other coffee stand! ♥

I miss Dutch Bros. Coffee! We don't have that down here in the Bay Area, but I have to say that we have our small town heroes! Dane made all of his customers feel special and that was a great quality he had.

I was never served a cup of coffee by a nicer man. Hotter chicks, sure... but Dane made that cup of coffee more than just a drink on those cold early mornings back in the Pass. His kindness and ability to make every last customer feel special is clearly the foundation Dutch Bros was built on.

Dane I hope you know how many people's days you made brighter. I know that was your goal and you were the best. It was a joy to be a customer, employee and Bro.

Thank you for sharing your light with us. I'd lived next to that dairy, then golf course, then schoolmates, then employee at the Fred Meyer cart in 1993/94. I was shocked to see how much the biz had grown when I returned to GP after years away. A million dutch bros. and a street full of Boersma's for neighbors. My folks said I should stop by but I didn't want to intrude. I wish I would've. I am sorry to have missed saying hello and now have to say goodbye. Love to the Dutch Bros family.

Awesome Story, Awesome Man. Spent a few moments in his presence, and knew that he cared; not only for himself, but for all of life in general.
