Daniel Agostinelli Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Potere-Modetz Funeral Home - Rochester on Mar. 9, 2026.
Daniel Agostinelli, of Rochester, Michigan, passed away on March 8, 2026, at the age of 69. Dan was born on September 6, 1956, in Midland, Michigan, son of Frank and Irene Agostinelli. From an early age, Dan valued family deeply, a devotion that remained central throughout his life.

Dan took great pride in many aspects of his life - his loving family, his career in technology, his close friendships with his Bushido buddies, and his lifelong appetite for reading. Those who knew him will remember his curiosity, loyalty, and the genuine joy he found in sharing stories of his family, reading numerous book series, his cats Jake and Finn, and finding hidden treasures at auctions.

Dan's memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved him. All who knew him will miss his generous spirit and kindness.

Loving husband of Janet. Devoted father of Jennifer (Jason) Neff-Gillespie. Brother of Mary (Phil) Adams, Ann (Mike) Gach, Angela (Dave) Talicska, and the late Lucy Holsinger. Brother-in-law of Rand Scarbrough, Sally Campbell, David Scarbrough, Stefanie (Sean) Boyle, Gregory (Gina) Scarbrough, the late Lynda, Kevin, Paul, and Brian. Dan is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews.
