Daniel Gerhardt Obituary: Daniel F. Gerhardt, whose parents were Armin and Ruth Gerhardt, was born on August 29, 1940, in Neenah, Wisconsin. He died away peacefully on July 22, 2023, in his Wild Rose home, accompanied by his wife and daughter. Just two days after entering hospice care, he started his journey to a place of eternal rest.
A brilliant example of a life lived to the fullest was Daniel’s. He has four children, was a Neenah High School graduate, and worked for Banta’s in Menasha for an incredible 41 years.
He built a house on his cherished 40 acres in Waushara County after retirement, where he enjoyed hunting and even tried his hand at rearing chickens.
Daniel was a true sports fanatic who volunteered his time to a number of groups, including Twin City Rod & Gun, Boy & Girls Brigade, Camp Onaway, Moles Unlimited, Sturgeons for Tomorrow, and Ducks Unlimited.
His love of the outdoors even inspired him to amass an unusual collection of licence stamps that dates back to 1935 and will now reside at Necedah National Wildlife Refuge.
Daniel leaves behind a legacy through his children Jackie (Brian Erdmann), Jennifer Thomsen, Jeffrey (Leslie), and his stepchildren. Daniel is survived by his devoted wife of 21 years, Mavis. Eight of his grandchildren and seven of his great-grandchildren continue to carry on his legacy.
His parents, sister Marion (Dr. Joseph Manago), brothers Armin II, Fred, and David (Bonnie Kontos), as well as his most recent descendants, Daniel F. Gerhardt Jr. (Sue) and sister-in-law Beatrice (Armin II), preceded him on his voyage.
His wishes were to not have a funeral, so that is what will happen. The Oakhill Cemetery in Neenah will serve as Daniel’s ultimate resting place.
ThedaCare Hospice’s “Angels” gave steadfast care around-the-clock, and the family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to them. Daniel’s valiant fight against dementia is over, but his legacy of strength and love will live on in our hearts forever.
