Daniel Kneppel Obituary
Danny was born September 20, 1965, in Sacramento, California to Carl and Diane Kneppel of Galt, California. Throughout his life, he has resided in Galt, Elk Grove, Lodi and Council Grove, Kansas.
Danny has always been so loving and had a big and soft heart. He never went anywhere without making friends. As a small child, Danny would go to watch his dad race, which his parents were pretty sure he wasn't going to watch his dad. All he was interested in was the tow trucks, most of the time he would patiently wait and then other times he couldn't stand it and would ask when the tow trucks were going to come. Anytime he saw tow trucks he would just beam and always say "I want to be a tow truck driver when I grow up". As most everyone knows, he was.
Danny loved his family, friends, wild turkey, the great outdoors and barbequing.
He is survived by dad and mom, wife Monica, sisters Michelle Spencer (John), Nicolle "Niki" Rowe (Emory), daughters Chenoa Pratchen (Paul), Chinia Kneppel, Chaylee Kneppel, grandson Dawson Pratchen and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents Harry and Elizabeth Kneppel and Arthur and Helena LaBarr and his best friend Dave Feltman.
Celebration of Life arrangements are being planned.

Heartbroken and saddened at the loss of my brother Danny. From our childhood days running amuck in Galt, to camping, throwing darts, and just hanging out in our later years, I will never forget you. Miss you tons already.
Love you brother Dan!

Carl, Diane, Michelle and Niki,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Danny. When we first moved to Galt your family was one of the first that we met. Danny was always so kind and had a smile on his face. May God bring you peace and comfort.
With deepest sympathy,
Heather Garcia (Porter)
