Daniel (Dan) Edward Raile was born May 23, 1954, in Richland, WA. He passed 
away on October 27,2003, at his home in Bellevue, WA.

Dan was preceded in death by his father, Ned Raile. He graduated from Richland
High School in 1972. During his high school years, Dan played in a band with
his very close friends and spent hours on river water skiing with family and
friends. He then received his BS in Engineering from WSU in 1977. After
graduation from college, he worked for Boeing in Seattle, IBM in San Jose,
California, and Vitro Engineering in Richland. He met Terry Houston and they
were married in 1984. He then returned to Seattle to work for Boeing. Terry
and Dan had a home built in Issaquah and in 1990 welcomed the birth of their
son, Jace. Dan was an active parent and helped coach his son's flag football
team and was a leader in the boy scouts. Dan and Jace shared the love for
music and playing the keyboard. One of the highlights in Dan's life was being
part of a band formed by other classmates and playing for his 30-year class
reunion. Dan was extremely proud of earning his Professional Engineering
certification in 1989. In 2000, Dan took a position as a Senior Mechanical
Systems Engineer with the Port of Seattle.

An avid Cougar fan, Dan loved attending WSU games every fall. His dream-come-
true was being able to watch the Cougars play in the 1997 Rose Bowl against
Michigan. He and his family also took many memorable trips to places such as
Hawaii, Las Vegas, California, Arizona, and Lake Chelan. Dan had a keen
memory, especially for recalling jokes in his conversations with others. He
enjoyed attending Mariners and Sonic games, golfing, jet skiing, and concerts.

"Love is where the heart is." We love you, Dan.

Dan is survived by his son Jace (age 13) and wife Terry of Issaquah; mother,
Marcia Raile and sister Laurie (Ron) Williamson of Richland and his nieces
Megan, Lindsay, and Melanie; brother, Rob Raile (Shannon) of Bellevue,
