Dan attended UNL where he met the love of his life, Kathryn Donelson. They eventually married, and he became a girl dad to Hanna and Kristian.
Dan loved iced tea, grey hoodies, the Doobie Brothers, his dog Truman, a good audiobook or an old fashioned and working out at the gym with his wife. Making a meal and sharing it with his family and friends was his favorite thing. Hospitality was a gift he and his wife Kathy shared. His love for the Lord and his people held the highest importance in his life and it showed. He was steady and constant. You needed him, he showed up. His people were his priority. He worked harder than anyone I know. He was stubborn. He was loyal. He took gold with the dad jokes. He loved the Lord and clung to his Word until his final moments. He was the best husband, dad, gramps/big dog and friend. He’s now healed and whole and looking down on us with love.
Dan is survived by his wife Kathy; daughters Hanna (Aaron) Matzke and Kristian (Tyson) Guenther; granddaughter and fist bump friend, Willa; brother Mike Guenther and his family.
We will miss him every day until we see him again.
