Daniel Ray "Danny" Eiler

Daniel (Danny) Ray Eiler, 69, passed away on August 11, 2025 on the family farm outside of Oberlin,

Kansas. Danny was born on November 23, 1955 to Floyd and Mary (Perkins) Eiler in Oberlin, and was

raised on a farm north of Oberlin.

He attended high school in Oberlin. After high school Danny entered into a farming partnership with his

second full-time career at the Decatur County Feedyard from 1976 to 2016 as a heavy equipment

operator and the manager of maintenance.

His family, friends, neighbors, and farm life were the most important things to Danny. He enjoyed

spending time with his family and rural life on the farm, as well as working with livestock.

nieces Suzanne, Shelly, Stacey, and Melissa; great-nieces Kelsey, Sierra, and McKensie; and great-

nephews Kyle, Zachary, and Austin.
