Daniel Short Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Daniel was born on March 5, 1964, in Wauseon, to the late Myrl and Alice (Russell) Short. Daniel was someone that enjoyed life, and was described as having an "old soul". As a math teacher, Dan loved numbers. He was interested in trains, and loved sports. He loved cheering on Ohio and Cleveland teams, whether it be the Indians, Browns, Cavs, or the Buckeyes. He loved spending time with family, who will dearly miss him and his spirit. He cherished his cats, all five of which he rescued, named Buckeye, Piggy, Bat, Alley Cat, and Sea Monster.
Dan is survived by his brother, Dave (Kim) Short of Franklin, IN; sister, Susan (Tim) Shipley of Wauseon; niece, Erika Short; nephew, Daron (Rachael) Short; and nephew, Tyler Shipley; along with great-nephews, Evan and Boe Short. He was preceded in death by his parents.
Inurnment and committal services will be private at the Pettisville Cemetery. A celebration of life is being planned for a later date. Online condolences may be offered to the family at www.grisierfh.com. The Edgar-Grisier Funeral Home of Wauseon is honored to serve the Short family.
