The Burn Thickory Brewery posted the following tribute on their Facebook page:

Hello. We all know about what happened to our good friend, Dan Rosen. He was killed Tuesday Am by a hit and run driver in the city. No arrest has happened. No one really knows what went down to end Dan’s life. We’d all like to know.
WSB-TV is coming to BHB tonight to talk to us (and anyone else who knew Dan) at 630pm. I’ve talked to Hamp Covington about it, he cannot make it but wants Dan’s story out there as much as we all do. Come up and we’ll toast Dan and hopefully this story will bring in some leads.
