At the time of his passing, Daniel was a Senior Project Manager for Corrections Canada and was part of the United Nations Kosovo reconstruction effort, Dan was very excited about this project. His outstanding contribution has been recognized by senior UN and Canadian officials in many outpourings of sympathy. Dan Rowan died while trying to do what he could to make Kosovo a better place.
