In Loving Memory of Daniel Ian Bolling

March 8, 1986 - August 25, 2026

It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that we announce the passing of Daniel Ian Bolling, who left this world far too soon at the age of 40. Danny lived a life filled with passion, determination, adventure, and accomplishment.

As a youth, sports consumed Danny’s world. Although he loved ALL athletic activities, soccer was his favorite. Through years of dedication, hard work, and a natural talent, Danny enjoyed a successful soccer career, creating memories and friendships with players and coaches that would remain a meaningful part of his life.

The years of being part of a team, combined with the discipline required to earn a degree prompted the next chapter of his life. With confidence and pride, Daniel enlisted in the United States Arny. Soon after completing Boot Camp, he deployed to Afghanistan. The army provided a new version of teammate, and the friendships that evolved were very, very special. These men became his Battle Buddies, a brotherhood that learned and practiced new skills which ultimately provided experiences Danny could never have imagined. His military career was a testament to his strength, courage, commitment, and willingness to serve something “greater than himself.” His service was a part of the legacy he leaves behind, and The Bolling Family will always be proud of the man who answered the call to serve,

The time spent in the army was brief, but intense. With several surgeries in his future, he honorably retired early, and took a job in Denver that would bring about many life-long friendships that would mold him even further. Those “friends” became an extended family, not one you’re born into, but one you choose.

Danny stayed in contact with many of the people he played, served, and worked beside over the years. His time on earth may have ended far too soon, but the impact of his life will continue through:

· the people who loved him,

· the connections created,

· the memories that live on.

Was he perfect? Absolutely not, but those who KNEW him will remember his devotion to the many with whom he felt a kinship, his laughter, his love for music, nature, & all animals (especially his dogs), his accomplishments, memories & stories and all the moments that made him uniquely, “Danny.”

There are no words that can truly express the heartbreak of losing someone so loved. Beyond his accomplishments, Daniel was a beloved son and brother, and a cherished member of his entire family. He is survived by his loving parents, George and Kim Bolling, his brothers: Matthew Bolling (Crystal Gallimore) and Chris (Dani) Bolling, a sister: Beth (formerly Bolling), his aunts: Lorri Voss and Becki (Shane) Elms, and cousins: Jordan and Ian (Aly) Voss and Lucas (Vanessa) Elms.

He leaves behind a family he was born into; a brotherhood of men who will hold close every precious moment they shared with him, and a “family” of friends he played and worked with.

His life was a gift… His service was an honor… His memory is everlasting

Forever loved Forever missed Forever in our hearts

Rest peacefully, Danny. You were loved more than words can ever say.
