Daniel Jerome Spira passed away Saturday, March 13, 2021 due to injuries caused by a collision with a car while on his bicycle. An avid cyclist, Dan raced criterions, cyclocross and road, gravel, urban and mountain events. He trained at every opportunity and was beloved and admired by his teammates on the DBC Racing Team.
Dan was loved and adored by his family for his enthusiasm and persistence. He enjoyed spending time with family—racing sailboats with his dad, dining with his sister, rollerblading with his brother, spoiling his nieces and nephew, and celebrating the holidays together. He worked as a bike mechanic, ski technician and bicycle courier, and he composed numerous electronic music tracks and performed as a DJ at events in Denver.
Dan is survived by his parents David Spira and Shirleyan Price, his grandmother Marjorie Price, his brother Jeremy Spira, his sister Heather Holden, and his twin cats Fritz the Cat and Leeloo Dallas Multipass.
