Daniel Breeding Obituary
Daniel James Breeding passed away peacefully on October 7th after a long and courageous battle with Head and Neck Cancer. Dan was born on June 1st, 1970. He was survived by his devoted parents, James and Mary Breeding, his loving sister Jamie Breeding-Rizzo, and his cherished nephews Leo, Seamus, and Gavin Rizzo.
Dan attended St. Richard Catholic Grade School from 1st to 7th grade. He attended 8th grade and graduated from Ascension Catholic Grade School in Chesterfield. He was a graduate of John F Kennedy Catholic High School class of 1988. While in high school, Dan ran track, played basketball, and was active in all four years of theatre. Dan was an alumnus of Missouri State University and was extremely proud to be a founding father of his fraternity, Alpha Kappa Lambda.
Dan was a huge Cardinals, Blues, and City Soccer fan and never missed an opportunity to cheer on his Missouri State Sports teams. GO BEARS!
Dan was employed by SSM Health Care, a job he truly looked forward to going to every day. Working from home was never a choice for him because he enjoyed interacting with his coworkers.
Weekends were spent packing up his prized possession, his Jeep, to run, hike, or camp with his loving and faithful dog, Bella. A bonus would have been to take along his nephews Leo, Seamus, and Gavin, to whom he introduced his love for adventure in the outdoors. Happy memories and fun they will never forget.
Dan was faithful and loyal to friends and family. His smile said it all. He will be missed and forever in our hearts and prayers.
