It is with deep sorrow that we announce the unexpected passing of Daniel Richard Guenther. Dan was born to William and Sherry Guenther on February 1, 1986 in Cambridge, MN and passed away on May 3, 2025 at the age of 39.

Dan graduated from Forest Lake High School in 2004. On April 15, 2016, Dan and Christine Boudouris welcomed their son Ethan James. Dan was currently working as a site manager for Arcon Credit Solutions.

Dan was an avid Packers and sports fan and loved to spend his free time golfing with his friends, he loved being able to spend time with his family, but the thing he loved to do most was spend time with his son Ethan. Ethan was the light in his life, and he loved being a dad. He would always tell people that being a dad was easy for him, and that was evident to everyone around him.

Dan is preceded in death by his grandparents, William and Sandra Guenther, and Richard and Eleanor Lindberg. He will forever be loved and missed by his son, Ethan; parents, William Guenther and Sherry Guenther; brothers, David (Cassie) Guenther and Wyatt (Breea) Atchley; sisters, Jenny (Danny) Osip and Joleen Guenther (Ben Liljedahl); and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

A Memorial Service will be held at 2 PM, on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at Linwood Covenant Church, 6565 Viking Blvd NE, Wyoming, MN.  Family will be greeting friends from 12-2 PM, prior to the service at the church.
