We are heartbroken to confirm that Dan Manrique, Pacific Regional Program Manager for Team RWB, was among those who passed away at Borderline in Thousand Oaks on November 7.
Dan was a Marine Corps veteran who served with 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, as a Radio Operator, and deployed to the Middle East in 2007 with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit. Dan had been a part of the Team RWB family since 2012, and served as Chapter Captain for the Ventura County Team RWB Chapter.
“Dan’s life was dedicated to serving others, during his military career and beyond,” said John Pinter, Executive Director of Team RWB. “We offer our deepest condolences to the Manrique family and ask that our Eagles around the world join us in keeping all those impacted by this tragedy in your thoughts and prayers.”
