Daniel Pollard, age 40, passed away peacefully at Heather’s House of HIA Hospice in Fargo, North Dakota, after a courageous journey following complications from a motorcycle-truck accident that occurred August 24, 2025 in Jamestown.

Daniel Walter Pollard was born on April 8, 1985, in Greenville, Mississippi, to John and Annette (Sprenger) Pollard. Dan, along with his sister Rachel, and his mother, later relocated to Jamestown, ND, where he graduated from Jamestown High School.

Dan worked for Conlin’s Furniture, Cavendish Farms, and Dura-Tech, all of Jamestown. While working in the oil fields near Tioga, ND, his mother introduced him to one of her co-workers, Vanessa Caine. She became the love of his life, and he of hers. They were married at First United Methodist Church, Jamestown, August 12, 2017.

Dan later began working at the Stutsman County Correctional Center, where he was promoted to Sergeant. His accident occurred while he was on his way home from work.

Dan had three major passions in life, his wife, his three children, and his job at the correctional center, working with the team that made him proud and made his job a joy each day.

Dan is survived by his wife, Vanessa, and their three beautiful children, Amelia Kay, Lydia Mae, and Nolan James; his parents, Annette (Warren) Schooler and John (Kathy) Pollard; siblings, Rachel (Shaw) Stewart and Shania (Spencer) Reinke; step-siblings, Brittany Hoang, Aaron Chapman, and Nikki McClendon; parents-in-law, Roger and Barb Caine; brothers- and sisters-in-law, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephew.

He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents, as well as an aunt and uncle.
