It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Dan Edward Honeycutt, aged 74, on January 15, 2024, at his home in Marietta, GA.

Dan was born on November 5, 1949 in Texas City, Texas to Guy Honeycutt and Margaret Fagan Honeycutt. He is survived by Ellen Applegath Honeycutt, his high school sweetheart and loving wife of 53 years. Dan and Ellen had a generous and welcoming definition of family, and Dan is survived by many who called him Dad—Sally, Rosi, Mark, Ingrid, Efren—and many more who called him Grampa—Alondra, Jorge, Karla, Emily, Juniper, Luke, Hazel, and Zaahir. Dan provided a stable home and a strong foundation for his own children and those he and Ellen welcomed into the family, transforming lives and leaving a legacy that continues in them.

Dan was known for his brilliant mind and passionate dedication to his hobbies. He was a ramblin' wreck from Georgia Tech and a helluva engineer. In college, Dan could skip class until test day, play bridge instead of studying, and still ace the final exam. After obtaining his Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Tech, Dan went on to a successful career as an Electrical Engineer for Jordan, Jones & Goulding. Outside of work, he pursued a variety of hobbies over the years, including golf, photography, flight simulators, computer programming, chess, programming chess game engines, learning Spanish, Might & Magic, and World of Warcraft. Whatever his current hobby, he focused on it intently and excelled at it. Dan had a wry sense of humor and loved a good meal. He once planned an entire family vacation to Chicago so that he could revisit the restaurant where he had the best steak of his life.
