Daniel Wilson Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Loving husband of Tina Wilson. Father of Kelly (Quinn) Hanson and Kris (Jamie) Wilson. Grandfather of Bradley, Taylor, Hallie, McKenna, Robert, Roman, Taylor, Hannah, Ella, and Cason.
Dan loved to fish and spend time with his family. You could usually catch him smoking a cigar with an old fashioned in hand. He organized until there was no organization left, the most creative thinker to make broken things work, and the ultimate fix-it man (aka D-Fixer). He was an amazing jokester, wore the best socks, and always was there for all. He adored and cherished his lifelong friendships, you know who you are.
Dan was a proud Air Force veteran, where his talent for cooking began. He supported the Tunnel to Towers Foundation to help support veterans and first responders; the family welcomes donations to T2T in lieu of flowers. Dan will be forever remembered and loved by his family and friends

Dan has been in my thoughts for the past few weeks, since I learned of his accident and subsequent passing. He was a great pal to me when we were in our teens. Some of us guys razzed him a bit for being "Mr. Set-up". Whatever the outing or event, Dan always wanted things prepped and in order. Fortunately for me he prepped some great times and included me in them - from a terrific camping trip (along with "Papa" Tom Murray), water-skiing at his folks trailer by a lake, tooling around in his jeep or cruising in his Dad's T-Bird, to some lively parties at the mini-tavern he fashioned next to the family garage. Memorable times - even the "day after" one of those debauches when Dan stopped by my house to chuckle with my Dad at the agony brought on by my indulging. Then he dragged me out for his patented miracle cure - a vanilla shake! Worked like a charm. I knew Dan as a genuine and decent guy. We were not close over the years, but each time I've seen him at our yearly gatherings these past two decades he has been the same good guy with a bright smile and that infectious laugh. As though we were still the goof balls of our youth. I loved him and am deeply saddened by his death. My heartfelt condolences to Tina and his entire family. Thanks Dan, for always being a pal. Ron
