Daniel L. Lavy

1961 - 2022

Dan Lavy, 61, of Browns Valley California passed away on December 21, 2022.
Daniel was born on April 6, 1961. He was raised in the Buttes as a child on the family farm and in the town of Gridley. He was active in De Molay as a boy and as an adult he was a Master Mason in the Colusa Masonic Lodge for over 25 years. He graduated from Gridley Union High School in 1979. While in high school he was active in FFA, sports and track. As an adult he used that FFA knowledge and helped many kids raise, feed, and show their fair pigs. In 1984 he was blessed with a son whom he is survived by, named Jacob Lavy. He was very proud of Jacob and all that he has accomplished in his life.
In 1987 Dan enlisted in the U.S. Navy. Being in the Navy also made Dan proud that he was able to serve our country and protect us. When he got out of the service he worked at the US Post Office in Colusa.
For the last 25 years he has driven equipment for numerous landowners and farmers. He was amazing and could operate just about any equipment out there.
For the last 29 years he has lived with his wife Julie and their daughter Randi whom he is survived by. Dan was also very proud of Randi and loved her like she was his own.
Dan was surrounded by his family, friends and those who loved him when he passed.
He is also survived by his mother, Barbara Stohlman and his step-dad, Dave Stohlman of Gridley, his sister and niece, Elizabeth and Ellie Teklinsky of Sacramento, his brother David Lavy of Yuba City and his niece Janice Lavy of Oregon.
Dan was loved by many and never thought twice about helping someone in need. His heart was as big as Texas. He will be missed by many…
There will be a Celebration of Life at a later time. If interested in attending, please call his wife Julie for the details.
