He was preceded in death by his
parents and one sister: Debbie Lewis.
Daniel graduated from the Lincoln Community High
School in 1973. He was employed at International
Paper for seventeen years.
He lived his life by enjoying the things that he
loved. Many knew him from his fierce competitive
nature on the softball diamond or through his years
bowling with friends and family. He loved to relax
with a fishing pole in his hand, sitting in a tree
stand, or by watching his Chicago Cubs (even when
they frustrated the hell out of him). But most of
all he was obsessed with his grandchildren and
supporting in all that they did. Even when his
health had waned and he wasn’t able to attend the
game or match, he always wanted a play-by-play
recap.
Memorials may be made to a College Fund established
at the Town and Country Bank for his grandchildren
or to his family.
Peasley Funeral Home is assisting the family with
arrangements.
