Dan Blankenship Memorial

Memorial Rip, Music Cocoon

[@ITSONLYMEWATCHING]

I had no idea Dan Blankenship passed away. My day is darker because of it. He was such an inspiration. He will be missed.

[@margaretlouiseable]

me too.

[@elle6968]

me three lots of love x

[@conniehedges8903]

Dan seemed the sort of person you would have loved to meet in person. I know he will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him in person. He now KNOWS the secret of Oak Island. Rest in peace Sir.❤

[@jamesrobiscoe1174]

That' was my first thought: Now he KNOWS. What a straight-shooter, Dan. The voice of experience. It's difficult to think of the team without him.

[@lornaburgess9762]

Watching Oak Island made me feel as if I knew Mr Blankenship, God Rest His Soul. May he watch from Heaven and guide them in their quest.

[@aydenfisher3535]

Pro tip : watch series on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

[@stevenroman3564]

@Ayden Fisher Yea, have been using flixzone} for months myself =)

[@romanmateo2566]

@Ayden Fisher Yup, I have been using Flixzone} for months myself :)

[@pjposton5001]

To the Blankenship family and all Mr Blankenship's friends my deepest sympathy. I always enjoyed the episodes when Mr Blankenship told of his experiences on Oak Island. May memories of him bring you peace.

[@sammyvh11]

Guy lived a full life and spent his golden years in a nice house on an island. I'd say he hit the jackpot! Rip

[@jeffreyschmuhl6468]

I am not a person who watches a TV program and gets all into it. Nor do I typically care anything about the usual crap that the big 4 channels put out. When I first came across this program it hit me in some cherished moments of my youth's way. I respect these programs interaction and due respect for the generation who came before. Mr. Blankenship will never be gone, due to this, and that is a very good tribute to the man and his legacy. To the brothers, now both Mr. Nolan and Mr. Blankenship are watching you. Both with great anticipation and respect. Continue earning that. Now go find the treasure!

[@blinko656]

Thank You jeffery :) I did the vid...Mike Sacramento.

[@gagecockerham3584]

I think we all had a feeling this would happen, but we’re sure praying he would make it to see the treasure.

[@guardrail2897]

I wish the treasure would have been found while he was alive. I bet he kept going as long as he did in hopes to see the treasure. May God bless you ole man.

[@doeharris5363]

What a lovely man he was. Very knowledgeable and l loved listening to him. Rest in Peace. You will never be forgotten. 😥😥

[@susanwallace1963]

awww, I have been watching this from day 1. No other show has ever brought me to tears. Thank you for all the memories.

[@marys661]

To the oak island treasure hunters , David Blankenship and the History channel crew. My heartfelt sympathies for all of you.Dan Blankenship was a gentlemen's gentleman..a hard act to follow...May he be with you all in Spirit, as you continue the quest...I wish you all, Peace.

[@robbrown6667]

Rest in Peace my Friend!

[@patjokl1802]

Rest in peace Dan! People like you are a great inspiration for me, as I am a treasure hunter too! Reminding me never to give up searching....

[@ricecoffee3968]

Truly a man who followed his dream. A great inspiration to chase those dreams.

[@beckyguillory9705]

Rest In Peace Dan. I hope they find the treasures

[@kimdavis6183]

Dan will truly be missed. He was the lightening bolt of Oak Island. God needed an angel and chose Dan for his heavenly choir. Rest in peace.

[@blinko656]

He was highly intelligent, he spoke like a professor right up to the end...:) He was true grit, tough as nails. Hope our society keeps making guys like him.. Oh by the way when I look at his son, Dave, looking at his Dad it is always with admeration.

[@berthalloway9953]

Rip number one treasure hunter. You did never give up

[@proudpapa7048]

I love watching the show, I never miss it. It is great seeing the different generations all adding their different gifts to the same goal, finding the treasure! All are valued, the young and old alike. Everyone has value. Dan's mind was always sharp as a tack and he had a great memory, even though he was in his mid 90's!!! It will be a GREAT LOSS for the team. Society could learn a lot from them all. They respect the environment, the government, they get the needed permits, they respect the union workers. They respect each other. The respect all of the new people that come to oak island. They respect the young, and named one of the wells after Craig's late son. They repected the old and always couldn't wait to show Dan the latest find AND get his recollection and opinion on it. This is a great, wholesome family show. It is sad that there are so few of them. Dan will be missed by me and thousands more too! GOD BLESS him!

[@blinko656]

Proud Papa, Best comment so far. TY. I did the video...:)

[@sandraleishman878]

He will be missed. My condolences to everyone who knew him.

[@donnacooper4881]

I am so sad we lost SR Blankenship he was so cheerful An wise, he will be missed. Dave I’ll pray for you to be able to handle the grief an sorrow I’m sure your feeling may God give you strength an power to stay strong .🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

[@denisedarrell6828]

It's amazing how many people are connected by that one issue of Reader's Digest. RIP Mr. Blankenship I hope you now know what treasures are buried on Oak Island.

[@heidehilbert9085]

He was such a sweet Man. Hope he is now in Gods Arms.

[@shellycox1230]

RIP DAN YOU WILL BE MISSED ❤

[@ladyaqua4544]

Awww I thought something was wrong Dan hasn’t been in any of the new episodes, I really enjoyed his attitude, humor, personality, persistence and knowledge of Oak Island. Mr. Blankenship RIP now for you will now find out the answer to all the mysteries you sought after about The Treasure, you Sir are a Treasure to all who knew you I’m sure of that. 🙏🏻

[@tmcaino]

A man who's persistence has inspired us all, may Dan's cup finally be filled, thanks for sharing your quest with us. And our thoughts are with you too, David , sorry for your loss ,God bless

[@glendadalejones3753]

t c beautiful words 🙏🏻

[@tiggerinthewoods7996]

I remember reading that Readers Digest article, ( for me, it was an old issue), and dreamed of finding the treasure on Oak Island. Mr. Blankenship lived the dream of every boy and girl that dreamed that dream. Thank you, Mr. Blankenship, may you rest in peace.

[@gwendolynpope8522]

Sad to hear this, he was such of a enthusiastic part of the project, I know his wisdom and friendship will be missed! May he dig for gold in heaven !

[@robertcurson1979]

I have watched this program since day 1. And I will miss seeing dave on the program. He was the man that made me watch oak Island. And I would have loved for him to see this treasure pulled from the ground but I'm sure that he will be watching from above. Condolences to all the crew and family of this great man god bless. (Now you must find this treasure for (dave.) Good luck.👼👼

[@erics3886]

Robert Curson Dave is still alive. It was his father Dan who passed away.

[@sunnygram3850]

Dan Blankenship will be missed .He was really the heart of the island has many years has he spent there.I know his son David and the Brohers will surely miss him .

[@Tool-Meister]

Condolences to Dan’s family and friends. I too read the Readers Digest article as a young man. It made me wonder why it was so hard to find the treasure. Dan’s insights on the TV show and all the hard work of the Laguina’s team gives a full picture as to the monumental tasks facing the searchers. Good by Dan. Rest easy that your part of the quest laid the foundations of recent and tomorrow’s discoveries.

[@marymiettinen9821]

I am very saddened to read of Mr Blankenships passing. No one loved is ever lost and he is surely loved. Watching Oak Island is the highlight of my tv favorites. What a wonderful adventure and good clean (muddy) fun!

[@davemeuse]

Dan was a good man!

[@janecotelos2240]

I love watching Oak Island, but when Mr. Blankenship was on, it was a real treat. He was a very admirable man, and I loved his sense of humor. My sincere condolences to his family, and his Oak Island family. I had hoped he would be there when the treasure was unearthed. He will be watching from Heaven, and always there in spirit. My love to all...

[@harlicelaver4740]

Going to miss seen him and I send my condolences to his son and the rest of the Oak,Island Family RIP Sir

[@mikemoore9757]

Rest in peace, Dan. You and all of the crew are real gentleman.

[@PeachSt8Digger]

Lovely tribute. Thank you for not being like some of the other people on YouYube with their crude and cruel click bait tributes. Dan was a dreamer and a good man. He reached for that dream and never gave up. He will be missed.

[@blinko656]

Thank You Karen for that beautiful comment. I did the video and that guy as tough and educated as he was deserved the best I could do. Music from Cocoon. :)

[@lindashultz2794]

Karen Yeoman - At the start of, I believe 3rd or 4th from last show of the season, there was a message on the screen of the passing of Dan. They had already finished filming all the shows for the season so nothing else could be said in the shows. I’m sure something will be done next season in his honor.

[@PeachSt8Digger]

@@lindashultz2794 Yes, I know this. There is a nasty person on here who did one and it was vulgar and reported. Dan had a dream he believed in. And I give him all the credit for following that dream.

[@Mac-zc7hu]

Rest in peace Dan. You didn't get to find your treasure here, but have found a much bigger one in heaven.

[@renaelovett9559]

What an incredible man he was!!! Very talented as well will miss seeing him!!! Beautiful memorial!!!

[@Downeastwaves]

Thanks for posting. RIP Dan. One of a kind man. Hugh loss. Condolences to his family and friends.

[@rfoxmar]

At least he was able to finish his life doing what he was truly passionate about even if he didn't find his treasure.....R.I.P. dear treasure hunter.

[@dalekranker1285]

R.P.P Mr blankenship you are going to be missed for sure sir its just not the same without you my heart go s out to his family and his oak island family

[@anneporter6485]

What a sad loss.... Dave Blankenship you’ll be sadly missed and thought of with deep affection. With deepest sympathy to your family, Rick and Marty Laguna and all involved with your dream and dedication to the Curse of Oak Island. For sure, you’ll be watching from above......

[@doreleimcmillan7924]

I loved the way the Fellowship of the Dig loved and honored Dan every moment. You made the last year's of his life so precious.

[@marvinhyatt6950]

To me a good gentleman, will be sad not to see his face light up when the treasure is finally found.

[@monicabermea7652]

Mr Blankenship always in my heart from the show. Thank you for you immense contribution to the mystery at Oak Island. You know the solved mystery now! God give you peace.

[@kenfirestick1842]

Mr. Blankenship was an unassuming role model - the best kind. He taught us to be passionate and pursue our dreams whatever they may be; brought character to the forefront; all the while demonstrating the value of hard work and team effort. You knew as a viewer without it promoted or declared that he was a reverend family man loved by many. The appeal of Oak Island show is not just the treasure but the display of friendships and belief in each other on display. Thank you for allowing the personal and somewhat private side of Mr Blankenship to be exposed. David my thoughts and prayers with you and your family. TV can be a beautiful medium if used correctly, and it has been in this case because Dan became over the years a treasured individual in my family despite the absence of a first hand handshake or hello. Your followers are more than that - they too have become family and Dan’s character is a testament to that. May God bless him and all he touched. Thank you for allowing us such a wonderful opportunity to be a part of. We will miss him and mourn for his family.

[@narendrasingh7543]

R.I.P. Dan.. Respect and Love from INDIA.

[@denisecaringer4726]

I cried when I learned of Mr. Blankenship’s passing. I grew to admire and love him while watching the Oak Island show. What a contribution he made to the ongoing investigation. What a legacy. Watching the Laginas with him over the years has been interesting and heartwarming. Condolences to the Blankenship family and to the entire extended Oak Island “family,” as well.

[@usalover619]

i wish they could have found something before he passed !! RIP Dan. God bless !!

[@rosalindkincannon1078]

Such a decicated gentleman to th Oak Island mystery. Such knowledge and eager to share with th Lagina Bros. Rest in peace Dan you have made it to your reward

[@mayhmmaydn]

Beautiful tribute to a good man

[@karlheeren8727]

Rest in peace Dan. You have all the answers now, don't you? I never met you in person, but I nonehteless morn your passing.

[@stephenmartini5890]

I didn't know he passed. He will be greatly missed by all Oak Island treasure hunters and those who knew him as an explorer and knowledgable man.

[@leahserdoner1851]

Dan was the heart of it all .He will be missed greatly.Rip Daniel .

[@quintinsmith962]

I didn’t know Dan had passed. Every episode, I kept hoping and praying he would just keep on going and be there for the big find, but sadly not to be. He will watch now from another dimension and help guide his son and friends to the treasure. Thank you Dan, what a mission you have helped take us all on!! Blessing to you. Quintin

[@daleleslie2437]

A fine hard working man with integrity, I will miss him greatly. RIP, you wii be missed by all.

[@corinnaakin2651]

Can't believe he's gone! I sit with tears running down my face for a man I never met...and yet his death touches my heart. I know it's a great loss to this team and to his family in which we all have joined! Fly high and may you help the boys now that you can see from heaven. Farwell my friend

[@barbararexroad5897]

Rest in peace Mr. Blankenship. Prayers, condolences and much love to his family. I have been a follwer of the show from day one and feel as if I knew him personally.

[@mlambrose53]

[@kimbergeron9720]

Oh Dan, wish you would of made it a little longer. The gang tried they're hardest this year to solve the mystery because they knew that You weren't going to be around much longer. God Bless Dan and His Family and Friends.

[@marko-1987]

He would call Gary Jerry apparently, such a lovely man and true legend. Really knew his stuff. I'm along for the journey one hundred percent with these guys.

[@kegansmom87]

Rest In Perfect Peace Dan. You and the Oak Island crew feel like family. I pray they find what you searched for all those years and I am sure they will dedicate it to your memory. God bless the entire Oak Island team, you all have no idea how many lives you have touched along the way. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

So sorry to hear this news. He will be missed by all! A true hero and inspiration to all that knew him and all who watched and listened to his stories. He was the kind of man anyone would have been proud to call a friend! I could have listened to his tales for hours. There are very few people today who would have the dedication and determination to pursue they're dreams like he did!!! We will miss you Dan, but we will NEVER forget you!!!!!

[@erics3886]

Nail Noswad didn't Fred Nolan pass before Dan? Therefore he would have lifted the curse of the seven deaths correct?

[@soniaphan5520]

So heart touching thank you for sharing it with us RIP Dan 🌹❤

[@charlottenasise5105]

So sorry for your loss, I always prayed you would find the treasure before he passed. I didn't not hear of this just saw it here on you tube.

[@edwardwhaeton601]

I totally love this show, Dan was a great man and made a great team and will be very sadly missed.....

[@andreamos8670]

May God Bless Mr Blankinship.

[@deborahkolusk3741]

Dan will be sadly missed, I remember the last show he was in where he drove his golf cart up to the site and watched all the screens underwater. What a great man, now he’s flying with the angels and renewed the love with his wife. God be with him and his family and extended family🕊✝️💖

[@MrMarkusmarc]

May Dan’s memory be a true and wonderful blessing.

[@isabel3559]

Now Fred Nolan and Dan have gone with the vast knowledge those two men had was invaluable to Rick Marty Craig and the team I wish Dan had got his answers he will be sadly missed not only by the team at Oak Island but also the viewers rest in peace Dan

[@L3go_Man87]

Maybe Dan might show they way and help the Lagina Brothers, feel bad for Dave too as it was his father but it's a loss for everyone. Now with both Dan and Fred Nolan gone there is no veterans unfortunately, I hope the Lagina Brothers can find the treasure and put an end to Dans life long work :)

[@CharliesMom1956]

My deepest sympathy to the Blankenship family. Dan was a die-hard treasure hunter and I hope he has now found his treasure in heaven. He has left a big mark on the thousands of people who, like me, felt that they knew him from the show. My heart hurts knowing we will no longer see him.

[@greentech1658]

[@GHumpty1965]

Watching Oak Island allowed me to get to know him and Mr Nolan, both are an inspiration. and both will be missed. It would be nice to see a tribute episode with those little quotes he would always dispense, always enjoyed seeing Dan Blankenship on the show.

A true pioneer of his time and will leave a great legacy but so sad that he was not still with us to witness the final outcome of the current activities and the proof that confirms his faith that treasure is waiting to be found. God bless you sir, your family, all your Oak Island colleagues and friends. I am sure that all of the dedicated followers of the Oak Island mystery and the TV series thank you from the bottom of our hearts and that your legacy will live on in history for many many years to come.
