Graduate and proud football player of the Muskego High School class of 1978. He established his own manufactured housing repair business of 31 years in which he was a devoted handyman who was truly skilled with his hands and a “Jack of all trades.” He was a proud Christian devoted to his faith in God and a proud parish usher. Dan was an avid outdoors man and sportsman who cherished deer hunting and trapshooting with his 3 kids. He was a proud Hunter Safety Instructor, Softball Coach and a genuinely cherished fan dedicated to supporting his children through all of their athletic events. His favorite hobbies included shooting sporting clays, ATV/motorcycle riding, attending truck and tractor pulls, classic car shows, collecting tools, shopping at the nearest hardware store or Cabela’s and helping his wife pursue her creative dreams and supporting her while she cared for her parents in their end days. Above all, he enjoyed spending time “shooting the breeze” with all those who crossed his path, sharing precious moments with his family and playing with his beloved rescue dog/best friend Gus.
