“Dan was an incredibly talented musician and composer, but most of all, he was a dear friend,” said Dexter’s executive producer Clyde Phillips. “His passing leaves all of us a bit quieter, a bit sadder, and without the gift of his music and his love.”

Other compositions for television included Kitchen Confidential, Jake in Progress, Deception, The Red Road and more.
