Obituary published on Legacy.com by Voran Funeral Home - Taylor Chapel on Oct. 1, 2025.
Daniel Robert Hendren "Dan" was born on December 3, 1939, in Wyandotte, Michigan, to Paul and Alice Hendren. A longtime resident of Taylor, Michigan, Dan died peacefully at home on September 21, 2025, at the age of 85.
Dan was the devoted husband of 61 years to his beloved wife, Phyllis (Komosa) Hendren. He was a proud and loving father to Mark (Lisa) Hendren and Matthew (Sarah) Hendren, and a cherished brother to Linda (Tom) Johnson. He was preceded in death by his dear sisters Kay Wolcott and Joan (Chuck) Burger.
He was a deeply adored grandfather to Brandon (Megan), Olivia (Adam), Lucas (Irisa), Chloe (Owen), Logan, Noah, Max, and Cora, and a joyful great-grandfather to Beckham. Dan's life was also blessed with many other relatives and dear friends who will miss him greatly.
His dedication to serving his country, his passion for running, and his commitment to his faith were just a few of the many ways he inspired those around him. A man of faith, family, and quiet strength, Dan leaves behind a legacy of love, devotion, and perseverance that will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
