Daniel Wilson Obituary
Born August 23, 1956, in Butler, he was the son of James A. and Ella G. (Blatt) Wilson.
He married his wife Nancy on May 22, 1982. She survives.
Mr. Wilson spent most of his career employed by Napco Inc. in Valencia.
If there was ever anything you needed to know about motorcycles, guns or anything in between, Mr. Wilson was your guy. Although he typically was a quiet man, he would light up when he was discussing anything he was passionate about. He was an animal lover and enjoyed spending his days in the woods with his dogs, Sadie and Scout.
Mr. Wilson looked forward to the Monday after Thanksgiving every year where you could find him out hunting deer at his family's farm. He also enjoyed playing Bocce at Alameda and Disc Golf with his daughter Rachel.
Trivia was a strength of Mr. Wilson's, he would routinely watch Jeopardy with his family.
His actions of love were always made known to his wife Nancy and daughters Rachel and Gretchen who will miss him dearly.
In addition to his wife of Butler, survivors include two daughters, Rachel Zang and her husband, Garrett, of Evans City, and Gretchen Wilson of Butler; five sisters, Niki (David) Young of Monrivia, Md., Judy (Don) Rowe of Emlenton, Barb Wilson of Thurmont, Md., Dorothy Rankin of Rimersburg and Molly (Bill) Offutt of Thurmont, Md.; two brothers, Dennis Wilson of Northeast and Thomas (Sharon) Wilson of Rimersburg; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Anita Wilson.
A Blessing Service was held at 5 p.m. on Sunday, January 21, 2018, at the Buechele Funeral Home and Cremation Services Inc. in East Brady with the Rev. John Butler of St. Patrick RC Church celebrating.
Burial in St. Eusebius Cemetery, East Brady, will be private.
The Wilson family asks that memorial contributions be made in Dan's name to the Butler County Humane Society, 1015 Evans City Road, Renfrew, PA 16053.
