Daniel Herman Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 8, 2024.
It is with great sadness that the family of Daniel Norbert Herman announces his passing after his illness, on June 24, 2024 at the age of 87. Dan passed away peacefully at his home in Goodyear, AZ and will lovingly be remembered and missed by his wife of 63 years, Bonnie, his children Deanne (Wes) Beedon, Kathleen (Dan) Szafranski, Pamela (Mike) Schultz, grandchildren Ashley Beedon, Sophia Schultz, Olivia Schultz, sister Barb Gapinski, brother in law Dale Pelvit

Dan grew up in Gilman on the family farm. After marrying Bonnie moved to the Twin Cities and started their family. The family moved back to the Gilman area where they had many good friends and neighbors and family before their move to AZ. Dan was active in the National Guard and also sailed on freight liners on Lake Superior in his earlier days. Dan was an expertise in construction. He built many homes and was employed in the commercial construction trade in Minnesota. Dan enjoyed farming his land in Gilman. He liked playing softball and taught his kids how to play. He also enjoyed fishing, hunting and snowmobiling and enjoyed making stained glass lamps and figures for his family, friends and neighbors. He loved baseball and watched many Diamondback games with Bonnie and also enjoyed doing puzzles and going to the casinos and road trips for vacation. But most of all he loved spending time with his family especially his granddaughters. He loved being a grandpa. He will be remembered as an honest hardworking man that befriended everyone he met. Even throughout all of his suffering before the Good Lord called him home he kept a smile on his face and kept his positive attitude and good sense of humor that will remain with us forever.

Predeceased Dan, son Dale Herman, parents Norbert & Pauline Herman, brother and sister in law Gene & Dolores Herman, sisters Donna Esselman, Lottie Herman, Susie Pelvit, brother in law Jim Gapinski

Fleeting as were the dreams of old,
Remembered like a tale that has been told,
We pass away.
