Daniel N. Backes

Found this flag from WWII with Mr. Backes name in the top left corner.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! You are in our hearts forever & on this your Special Day, know that you are loved & missed. I will miss you forever. I Love You. Danielle

Backes Family: We are so sad for your loss. We only met Daniel a couple of times, but consider Pete and Danielle life-long friends, and know how much they love him. We know he is in a better place, but it doesn't make those left behind miss him any less. Pete and Danielle, know we'll be there if there is anything you need. Love, Jos & Kathy

Granpa-
You were the greatest and you taught me so much!! I am really going to miss you! I will always remember everything you told me and what a great father (Peter) I have because of you and Granma! Thanks for everything and God Bless everyone in the Backes Family!

Sorry to hear of our lose. I always enjoy see the two of you at the Jansen Holiday party. I can see why my father thought highly of Dan. Take Care

Dan...This comes from me the daughter-law of your youngest son. I just want you to know how much I love and respect you. I could go into a long story of my childhood and never having a father figure as I was growing up. The guidance and love you shared with your son through the last 39 years of his life has made me realize what I have missed, but thankfully I got to share the last 20 years(15 married and almost 5 dating) with you and Dave together...what a blessing that has been.

...

Doug,

Our sympathy on the loss of your father. I experienced this a little over a year ago when my dad passed away. It is hard at the time, but you will always have great memories. Our best to you and your family during this time.

Larry & Mickie Wills

On behalf of all of Dougs friends at Munters, our deepest sympathies

Dear Backes Family,

We feel so much sympathy for all of you, especially you, Doris. Dan was always such an integral part of the family. He will be missed by many, and we know he'll continue to guide all of you from up above as he reigns on high with the Angels.

We are sorry we cannot attend the visitation or the funeral due to other circumstances, but please know that we are thinking of all of you and praying for Dan's return to the heavenly kingdom above.
