Daniel Christopher Boring, 24, died at his home April 30, 2005 after a five year courageous fight against cancer. Born October 8, 1980 in Scottsdale, Dan attended Shadow Mountain and Horizon High Schools, and graduated from Chaparral High School. He enlisted in the US Marine Corps in 1999 and was attending recruit training at San Diego when his cancer was discovered. He was eventually medically retired from the Marine Corps with rank of Private First Class. Dan continued to fight his cancer and lost his right leg, below the knee in 2002. An athlete all his life, Dan was an avid sports fan and a terrific basketball player. He continued to play basketball recreationally while wearing his prosthesis and delighted in winning one-on-one games with his friends. The cancer returned in 2003, this time settling in his left shoulder. Surgery removed the cancer but also took Dan's humerus, scapula and part of his collarbone. A prosthetic shoulder was created but his basketball playing days were finished. Shortly after that surgery, cancer was discovered in his chest and ribcage and he received radiation and treatment for that. Soon, another tumor appeared in his head and yet another in his right shoulder blade. Dan never complained about his problems and when diagnosed as being in a termianl stage he was determined to fight on. He proposed to his sweetheart, Tiffany Soldevere, during a cruise to Hawaii in February of this year. Upon returning from the cruise on March 5, Dan was too weak to continue and he was confined to his bed. He still refused to give in and fought without complaint until the cancer finally won the fight. He died peacefully and comfortably in his bed, surrounded by his family and a few very close friends. Dan is survived by his daughter Taylor Houser-Boring (5), his fiance Tiffany Soldevere, parents John and Suzi Boring, brother Michael (Mari Pakay) Boring, sister Vicky (Brad) Stevenson, nephew Paul Boring and Niece Sarah Boring. Also by his uncle and aunt, Max and Colleen VanOrman and his grandmother, Dolly Hill. Burial will be a private family affair in Paradise Memorial Gardens with a Memorial in his name scheduled for 3 P.M. Wednesday, May 4, at Cross in the Desert, United Methodist Church at Sweetwater and 32nd St. in Phoenix. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations in Dan's name to Hospice of the Valley. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Shadow Mountain Mortuary. Published in The Arizona Republic on 5/3/2005.
