In Loving Memory of Daniel Dee Service
Daniel Dee Service passed away peacefully on May 10, 2025, in Salem, Oregon. He was 73 years old. Born on March 23, 1952, in Portland, Oregon, Daniel was the second of nine children born to Harry Elmer Service and Betty Jean Tolman Service. He was the first son in a large and loving family, which included: Kathryn Lynette Service (Morse-Webb), Michael Thomas Service, Wayne Paul Service, Maryann Elizabeth Service (Birkell), Robert William Service, Richard Alan Service, Stephen Ralph Service, and Anson Leon Service. Daniel married Sandra Renee Hahn on July 28, 1973, in Portland. Together they raised five children: Annilee Renee Service (Jacobs), Teya Danae Service (Ferrell), Alexander Daniel Service, Toby Dee Service, and Daniel Scott Service. On April 4, 2003, Daniel married Beverley Ann Rowe, gaining two stepchildren, Kristin Ann McMillan and Aaron Robert McMillan, whom he loved as his own.
A graduate of Roosevelt High School in Portland, Daniel briefly attended Brigham Young University before enlisting in the United States Army. He began active duty on September 18, 1972, and served honorably until December 5, 1975. He continued his military service for a total of twenty years, ultimately achieving the rank of Sergeant First Class (E7). Throughout his military career, Daniel was awarded numerous medals and honors for his dedication and service to the country.
He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Management of Human Resources from George Fox University in 1994.
Daniel`s life was defined by service - to his country, his community, and his faith. He and Beverley served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, supporting FamilySearch Worldwide and helping others with family history. Daniel served for three and a half years, and Beverley for six. It was a labor of love they deeply valued. When the President of the Oregon chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America passed away, Daniel stepped in to lead the organization. He served as President and in other leadership roles, faithfully supporting veterans until his passing.
