Daniel Fleming Obituary
Dan grew up in Ottawa and graduated from Ottawa High School in 1967. He then attended Kansas University and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1971.
After college, Dan continued to live in Lawrence for over 45 years and worked in the custom sign industry. Dan was a talented artist who's passion was vintage cartoon style art. He was also a musician, known by many as "Cousin Dan Fleming" or "Cuz" and played bass guitar with the Lonesome Hobos rockabilly band in the Lawrence/KC area in the 1980's-90's. Dan also played guitar with the Go-Cats in the 1970's.
Dan is survived by his brother, Jim Fleming of Topeka, Kansas and sister, Nancy Baldwin (Bob) of Massapequa, NY. Dan also leaves behind many relatives and friends with fond memories of the unique and interesting person he was. Rest in Peace Dan.

You are way too young to die, buddy. Thank you for the great memories and some bass licks I picked up from you. The Lord Jesus will comfort you brother.

I met Dan in the 70's while I was a student at KU. I was lucky enough to drum for the Go-Cats from time to time, and do some recording with Dan and other Lawrence musicians. Dan was truly unique and extremely interesting person, and we were all better for having known him. He will be missed.
