Daniel Roy Breeden, 78, passed away on September 28, 2025.
He was born in Indianapolis on November 1, 1946. He had always lived on the west side of Indianapolis and graduated from Ben Davis High School. He was a proud Army veteran from 1966-1968, CO B 1 BN 37th Armor Division. After the Army, he attended Ivy Tech. He later worked ten years at Peerless Pump in Indianapolis. He then was hired by Allison's Transmissions in Indianapolis, retiring after 37 years in 2016.
After retiring, he decided he wanted to have his own business to keep busy and work outside. So, he started his own lawn mowing business, which was licensed and insured. He had dialysis three times a week and would see his customers on the off days to stay busy.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Bernice Breeden; brothers Harold and Melvin Breeden; and his first wife Mary Hutchinson Breeden and son Jason Breeden.
He is survived by his adult children; daughters Michelle Marion, Angela (Curt) Hufford, Shannon (Rick) Shearer, Dawn (Darren) Haggard; stepdaughter Cartala McGill - Stout (Daryl) and stepson Lewis McGill; as well as 13 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren, many cousins, nieces, and nephews. And he loved them all.
