There’s a great story on Jan Van Halen at VHND.

Sounds like Dave was close to Jan..
After years and years of working so hard for so little, Jan finally got his due and the recognition he truly deserved. Sadly, Jan suffered a heart attack in May 1986 and passed away the following December. Even though the timing coincided with the peak of tension between the band and Dave after their split, Dave called Edward to offer his consolation and share his own grief.
At the band’s notable August 2007 press conference to announce the 2007-2008 tour and the addition of Wolfgang to the lineup, Dave, Edward, and Alex shared memories of the elder Van Halen. Dave summed up their reflective take on Jan more than two decades after his passing: “God bless him. We miss him.”
