Daniel Philip Fry
January 15, 1960 – May 17, 2026
Daniel Philip Fry, age 66, passed away peacefully on May 17, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on January 15, 1960, Dan lived a life full of laughter, hard work, and unwavering dedication to the people he loved most.
Dan spent many years working diligently as a skilled machine operator, a career defined by his strong work ethic and reliability. Following his well-deserved retirement, Dan’s outgoing nature kept him active, leading him to take a part-time position at McDonald’s. More than just a job, it was a place where he could socialize, share a joke with coworkers and customers alike, and happily enjoy an endless supply of his absolute favorite beverage, Diet Coca-Cola.
Known for his vibrant, funny, and deeply outgoing personality, Dan never met a stranger. He possessed a rare ability to light up any room he walked into, using his sharp wit and warm smile to bring joy to those around him. He was a man who lived out loud, leaving a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to cross his path.
Above all his accomplishments, Dan’s family was his absolute universe. He was a profoundly devoted husband to his beloved wife, Dorothy, with whom he shared life’s beautiful journey. Together, they built a home filled with love and laughter.
Dan’s pride and joy lived on through his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They were his world. His face lit up brightest whenever they were near, and he cherished every moment spent playing, laughing, and spoiling them.
He is survived by his loving wife, Dorothy Fry; his devoted children, Rebecka (Jeremy) Gasche, Betsy (Michael) Petri, Daniel (Danielle) Fry and Dixie Fry. He also leaves behind a rich and beautiful legacy of 20 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren, all of whom will carry his joyful spirit and funny stories in their hearts forever.
He was preceded in death by his loved ones who went before him. Dan's presence will be deeply missed, but his laughter will echo in the memories of his family for generations to come.
