Dan Edward Fouts, 62 of Galveston, passed away after a 3-year fight with Leukemia, on Sunday, November 12, 2017 at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis.

Born on November 5, 1955 in LaGrange, Illinois, he was the son of the late Tom C. and Eva L. (Sibbitt) Fouts.  On April 2, 1977 in Walton, Indiana he married Beth A. Maughmer who survives.

Dan owned and operated Dan Fouts Construction. He also worked along side his father “Captain Stubby” as “Captain Stubby Jr.” and was a member of the SAG-AFTRA, an organization dedicated to actors, radio hosts and other media professionals.
