Daniel James Nebel, son of James and Olive (Sonderman) Nebel, was born on January 27, 1956, in Omaha, Nebraska. Dan passed away on August 13, 2023, at the Shenandoah Medical Center in Shenandoah, Iowa.
Dan was the oldest of six children born to Jim and Olive Nebel. He grew up on a dairy farm near Imogene, Iowa. He attended St. Patrick's Academy in Imogene, Iowa before transferring to Farragut, Iowa Community School and graduating with the Class of 1974.
After graduation, Dan was employed with Eaton Transmission, Shenandoah and later with Elster American Meter in Nebraska City, Nebraska. (Now Honeywell American Meter). Dan had a very mechanical mind and enjoyed working with his hands, especially anything gas and oil. His hobby for many years was working on vintage and antique tractors. He enjoyed talking about them, displaying them, and riding them in parades. He made many tractor enthusiast friends. He also enjoyed helping harvest with various farmers in the area.
He was married to Janice Smith at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Imogene, Iowa on March 6, 1982. They resided in Shenandoah, Iowa and to this union two boys were born: Paul and Thomas. Dan was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church, Shenandoah, Iowa.
He loved country life on his acreage northwest of Coin, Iowa. Dan didn't know a stranger and was a "give the shirt off his back" kind of guy. After his passing, he was a tissue donor which exemplifies his kindness and generosity to others, so that they may have a better life.
