Dan McCool (†) 

Dan’s journey in recovery began at the Salvation Army A.R.C. (Adult Rehabilitation Center) in Tampa, Florida. During this time, he worked the 12 steps of AA and developed an intimate and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He began to sponsor people and facilitate meetings which strengthened his growing foundation in Christ by practicing the recovery principles in all his affairs. The most important and life changing principle Dan learned was that of “surrender”, which included allowing Jesus to live his life through him (John 14:10 and Gal 2: 20). He served as Facilities Director at New Beginnings of Tampa. Dan has since passed away and is currently serving his Lord and Savior Jesus in a more personal way, yet his legacy continues to help and encourage others in recovery.

Dan’s favorite Scripture verse is: John 14:10
