Dan Stowell Obituary
September 29, 1945 - December 24, 2023
Dan Laurence Stowell, 78, of Hillsborough passed away after a seven year battle with lymphoma peacefully at his home on December 24, 2023, surrounded by his loving wife of 54 years and two daughters. Dan was a devoted husband, and an amazing father and grandfather. He was kind, generous, and always put others first. He loved sharing his homemade baked goods with everyone.
Dan grew up in San Mateo, graduated from Hillsdale High School, and went on to San Jose State, earning his degree in Aeronautical Engineering and his masters in Business. He worked at United Airlines for 35 years, and also volunteered as an economics teacher at Crocker Middle School, and San Mateo High School. He coached 18 of his daughters soccer teams, and never missed a single sporting event. He was an avid cyclist, a gold master bridge player, and had so many wonderful bridge, golf and tennis buddies.
Dan is survived by his wife, Beverly; daughters, Ashley (Craig) and Whitney (Matthew); and grandchildren, Kaitlyn, Chase, Alexander, and Alexis.
There will be a private service for the immediate family. Donations can be made in his name to Ability Path Auxiliary…c/o Sara Jungroth, Treasurer, 181 Warren Road, San Mateo, Calif. 94402

I have very dear memories of Dan Stowell from the late 1950´s. "Danny," as he was then called, and I, were close friends and neighbors in San Mateo (Hillsdale Boulevard) during our grammar school years. He attended Laurel Grammar School while I went to Beresford Park. We often competed against each other in track and field sprint events at Hillsdale High School and also trained together for the AAU Junior Olympics held at Castlemont High School in Oakland. At that time we were on the San Mateo 4 x 100 relay team along with Roger Benz and Pete Carboni. I have many more wonderful memories of Dan from those years as well as when he later attended Hillsdale High School. I hope these humble yet sincere words will serve to remember a very fine and highly talented human being. Rest in peace dear Danny, we will meet again ...
