Dan Ingwersen passed away on July 17, 2024 in Omaha, Nebraska. He attended St. Mary's grade school and Aquinas High School in David City, Nebraska, graduating in 1978. Dan attended Wayne State College after high school, graduating in 1983.

Dan married Marian Borgmann from Osmond, Nebraska in 1987 and returned to Wayne State College in 1990 where she was teaching. He completed his teaching credentials and substitute taught in the area and coached the Wisner-Pilger Legion baseball team. In 1993-94 he taught at Milligan High School and continued his coaching - taking the Lady Roosters basketball team to State for the first time in school history. He then moved to West Point Central Catholic where he taught and coached for nine years, building one of northeast Nebraska's premier girls basketball programs, earning several conference and district championships and the Class C State Championship, with Dan named Nebraska Coach of the year in 2002.

He returned to school to work on his Master's degree and Administrative and Counseling credentials. He was the guidance counselor at Pender High School before being hired as the principal and elementary counselor at Ceresco Elementary in 2005. This position was a great fit for Dan as he got to talk to kids all day and they loved "Mr. I"

After leaving Ceresco Elementary, Dan spent two years as the Superintendent at Wilcox-Hildreth Public Schools then moved to Humboldt-Table Rock-Steinauer for the last several years, back to working with elementary kids. Wherever he went, his students loved him.

Dan's talents as a singer and storyteller impacted everyone who knew him. He often MC'd for various events, sang at weddings and funerals and, in recent years, was joined by his children in singing at various functions. He was the funniest man most of us will ever know.

Dan and Marian raised three wonderful children. Isaac and his fiancé, Holly Bingham, are in Mesa, Arizona. Ian and has wife Dee (Turner) and their son, Matej, live in Lincoln and Julia will start her 2nd year at UNO soon. Their dear son Henry died during birth in 2000. Dan loved nothing more than watching his kids take part in their music, sports and drama events.

Dan is survived by his children and grandson, Matej; sisters and brother's in law: Mary and Jim Sanley of Lincoln, Jeanne' and Doug Osborn of David City and his brother and his wife, Don and Jenny Ingwersen of Brainard and many nieces and nephews and cousins and extended family. He was proceeded in death by his son, Henry, his brothers, William James (Barb), Mark (Jeanne) and Richard (all of David City); his parents Joan and Bill, his grandparents William Francis Ingwersen, Mildred Ingwersen Hookstra, James and Mable Mulick.
