Daniel Cuffman, 66, of Renfrew, passed away peacefully on Friday, Jan. 31, 2025.
Born in Butler June 17, 1958, Dan was a son of Norma Allen Cuffman and the late Donald Cuffman Sr.
Dan was a 1977 graduate of Butler High School and attended Butler County Community College and Slippery Rock University. He worked at Armco/AK Steel for 36 years, before retiring in 2017.
Baseball was a large part of Dan's life, and he played for Butler youth teams, Butler High School, and at SRU. He shared his skills and love of baseball as a beloved youth coach for Meridian, East Butler and Youngstown Class B teams.
An avid deer hunter in his younger years, Dan enjoyed many hunting seasons with family and friends at the family camp in Marienville, Pa. and in Kentucky. He played adult league basketball for many years at the Butler YMCA and BC3. Retirement was good to Dan and he spent many relaxing hours on his fishing boat at Moraine.
He enjoyed planning vacations and traveling with his wife to Alaska, Mexico, Florida and the Western U.S. He was proud of his vegetable garden, enjoyed coffee and wine on the porch, hosted countless pool parties and picnics, and was known for his delicious stuffed peppers. An avid fan of all Pittsburgh sports teams, Dan rarely missed watching a Pirates game.
The family always says Dan never went anywhere that he didn't run into someone he knew. A friendly man, he was always happy to strike up a conversation with others. He will be deeply missed by those who were fortunate enough to know his generosity and humor.
In addition to his mother, Dan is survived by his wife of nearly 40 years, Lollie (Lucas) Cuffman; son, Zachary (Maci Williams); sister, Pam Schmidt; mother-in-law, Gayle Lucas; and in-laws, Dawne and Steven Skerbetz (Tucker and Natalie), Scott and Stefani Lucas (Malcolm and Simon) and Erin Lucas. He is also survived by loyal friends too numerous to count.
Along with his father, Daniel was preceded in death by his brother, Donald Cuffman Jr.; and father-in-law, Don Lucas. We smile to think of him reunited with his father and brother.
CUFFMAN - All services for Daniel Cuffman, who died Friday, Jan. 31, 2025, were held privately through SPENCER D. GEIBEL FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, 140 New Castle Road, Butler. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, Dan would have liked for those who wish to commemorate his life to donate to the local animal shelter in his memory.

I knew Dan from the old Northwest Manor where I grew up and Dan lived. Dan was one of those older guys us kids looked up to. Not all of those guys gave us much time but Dan sure did. I also knew Dan from the Mill. Occasionally I would run into him and he would stop and always say - it´s nice to run into someone from the old neighborhood. And he always was pleasant with a smile on his face. Rest in peace my friend and God Bless all of his family

Condolences to all of the Cuffmans. I met Dan when he was a teenager through mutual acquaintances. I always enjoyed seeing Dan with his kind words and easy smile. I like to imagine him reuniting with his brother Don, who I knew back in high school. God bless Dan and God bless everyone who knew and loved him.
