Sandy and family, I am just seeing Dan's obituary and want to extend my sincere sympathy. Sandy, your love, devotion and care for Dan truly was your gift to him. He adored you, and always had that smirk/grin when he looked at you. He is resting in peace and glory.

Roy Daniel Coover (known to many as Dan), 82, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, passed away on January 14, 2026.
Dan was born in Westmoreland, Kansas. He built a life rooted in hard work, quiet strength, and a steadfast commitment to his family.
Dan was previously married and to that union 3 daughters were born, Tammy, Jodi and Barbie. Nine years later, Dan and Sandy were united in marriage.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Sandy; his daughters, Tiffany and Katie; and his five cherished grandchildren, who brought him immense pride and joy.
Dan was preceded in death by his mother, Lola; his stepfather, Melvin; his grandparents, Roy and Mabel Lee; and his in-laws, Albert and Delores Miesen.
Dan dedicated 25 years of service to Coors, where he worked until his retirement. Even in retirement, his strong work ethic never faded-he continued working at Hy-Vee for nine years, right up until his passing. He was a faithful member of Holy Spirit Catholic Church.
A man of many talents, Dan was known for his mechanical skill and love of cars. He raced A19 cars for Ford and spent countless hours working on vehicles and projects around the house. He took pride in teaching his family how to fix things, sharing not just his skills but his patience and steady presence. Though quiet and reserved, Dan was always willing to lend a hand and will be remembered for his reliability, kindness, and craftsmanship.
A visitation to celebrate Roy’s life will be held on February 14, 2026, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at The Casita, 201 West 37th Street, Sioux Falls, SD.
