Send FlowersDaniel Pfeiffer Obituary
Dan was preceded in death by his mother, Kathleen Pfeiffer of La Crosse, WI. He is survived by his siblings, John Pfeiffer of Madison, WI, and Megan Pfeiffer Hansen (Eric) of Minnetonka, MN, as well as his cherished nephews and niece, Charlie, Gavin, and Hailey Hansen. He is also survived by his Aunt and Uncle Don and Sue Melster, his cousins Janel London (Brian), Travis Melster (Jennifer), Nate Melster (Elisa).
Born on July 27, 1977, Dan graduated from Logan High School, where he excelled in wood shop and 3D art. His love for working with his hands led him to the Wisconsin Conservation Corps, where he built bridges and shelters that continue to serve others today. Throughout his life, he embraced adventure and hard work, holding jobs as a fisherman in Alaska, a lumberjack, and a construction worker before ultimately becoming a master carpenter. Truly a jack of all trades, Dan could fix anything, and he took pride in making the world around him more beautiful and functional. Dan's family and friends will carry his memory with deep love and gratitude, forever inspired by the way he lived-with generosity, craftsmanship, and heart.
Please join us for a Memorial Service at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 4, 2025 at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church, 2315 Chicago Ave. in Minneapolis, MN 55404. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to Our Saviour's Lutheran Church or the Animal Humane Society.

Dan was a good dude, sorry to hear of his passing. I was a neighbor growing up and spent a lot of time with him in my youth. My heart goes out to his family.
