Daniel James Lacour, the son of Steven and Connie Lacour, was born November 21, 1986, in Osage, Iowa. He attended Charles City schools and obtained his Bachelor's Degree in Philosophy from the University of Northern Iowa.

In grade school he excelled at painting, drawing, playing the saxophone, and playing the piano. He also worked in grounds keeping for several summers at Charles City schools.

When Daniel had a vision of a project in his head, be it music, art, or anything else, he worked hard to make it a reality.

He enjoyed the challenge of home ownership, working on landscaping, maintenance and other projects around the house in his spare time. Daniel also enjoyed biking, as a mode of transportation and for fun.
