Memory Eternal, Our Dear Friend Dan Christopulos
With faith in God’s mercy and in the everlasting life to come, on May 30, 2026 our dear friend and colleague, former Orthodox Christian Mission Center Development Director Dan Christopulos, fell asleep in the Lord. He dedicated his life to serving the Church, sharing our faith across the world, and loving others in the name of Christ. Surrounded by his family, he passed peacefully at home.
Dan not only served as a priest; he was also OCMC’s first missionary, a country representative for International Orthodox Christian Charities, and a police chaplain. In all these positions of service, he impacted the lives of thousands of people, offering grace and mercy to those in need as he shared the profound hope of Christ’s Resurrection. His unfailing sense of humor and kindness made it easy to connect with him and brought great warmth to people in the farthest corners of the earth.
Our hearts are with Dan’s wife Patty, and their children and grandchildren: Jordan, Matthew, and Greysen; Zoe, Taylor, Evy, and Easton; Valerie, Kevin, Juliana, Connor, and Tommy; David, Kris, Ava, and Kate, and the entire family that he and Patty brought together.
We will miss Dan greatly, but we take comfort in the Resurrection, knowing he is embraced by our loving Lord. We thank Dan for all he has done for the Church and for Orthodox Christians around the world.
Memory eternal, dear brother.
