He is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Wanda Sue (Mills) Dahm; son Danny (Olivia) Dahm Jr.; daughter Jennifer Dahm Rychtik; sister and brother-in-law: Cindy and Pinky Rova,; mother in-law “Saint” Shirley Mills of Phoenix, sister-in-law and brother-in-law Patti and Mike Sell of Phoenix; sisters-in-law Charlene Mills and Carolyn Fountain, both of Phoenix; grandsons William (Sara) Dahm of Portage, Wis., Michael Dahm and Justin Rychtik of Peoria, Joshua Dahm, Timothy Dahm, Malek Padilla and Kyler Dahm of Scottsdale; four great-grandchildren, Grayson, Jakob and Finn Dahm of Portage, Wis., and Isabella Rychtik; four nieces and four nephews; and countless aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Dan was an amazing husband and father. He always put his family first and went over and above to help his children and family.
Dan was also a great friend who was always there to help a friend and sometimes a complete stranger in need. He was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping and gold panning.
He certainly touched the lives of many and will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
