August 28, 1958 - November 30, 2024
Dan Winter died in the early morning of Nov. 30th 2024. He was born August 28, 1958 to Roger & Lila Winter. Dan had many struggles in life but was a truly kind soul. He was an old school gearhead; any classic car or old tractor would catch his eye. He loved kids and animals and was "Uncle Dan" or "Uncle Peck" to not only his own relatives but to many of his friend's children. He loved to teach kids to growl, so to all the young adults and possibly their children let out a good LOONG LOUD growl for Uncle Dan!
Dan was preceded in death by our parents Roger & Lila and older brother Mike. Maternal & paternal grandparents, and maternal aunt and uncle.
He is survived by sister Colleen and husband Ernie of Washington; brother Roger and wife Brigitte of Palmer, and sister JoAnn and husband Bud of Palmer. Aunts, Uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews from Washington, Montana, Arizona, New York, & New Jersey.
There are no services planned and the family will spread his ashes in the spring in the same place our parents and older brother rest. If anyone would like to donate in Dan's memory any organization that helps children or animals would be a good choice.
