Obituary of Daniel R. Mowers
February 19, 1945 - June 8, 2025
Daniel R. Mowers. Age 80 of Wyandotte.
Beloved husband of the late Penny. Loving father of Brian (Shelly) Mowers, Darrick (Lora) Mowers, Danielle (Jason) Ryba and Patti (Shawn) Donovan. Dearest grandfather of Megan, Nathan, Raeann and Nolan. Dear brother of Joseph Mowers.
Daniel grew up in Gibraltar and then moved to Wyandotte after marrying the love of his life, Penny, in 1969. Together they raised four wonderful children. Daniel and Penny were married for 47 years prior to her passing in 2016. Daniel was an active member for over 50 years of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Wyandotte. For many years he volunteered as an usher at the church. He was also a volunteer for Wyandotte Cable Studio - he was the play-by-play announcer for Wyandotte football and also cohosted the Local Sports Wrap Up. In his spare time he also enjoyed playing euchre and bowling.

I will miss this Big teddy bear of a guy...When Penny and I would sit on her front porch, He would come lumbering up, say "Hi" and go in and sit in the lazy boy. He seemed shy and unassuming, as big guys like him often are. He dearly loved Penny and his family and was never the same after she passed.
