Dan was born on September 15, 1956, in Marengo, Iowa, to James and Margaret (Michalek) McGrory. He was raised on the family farm near Ladora and was a 1975 graduate of HLV High School.

Dan loved the farm life. Often, you might find him talking about tractors and tractor pulling days of the past.

He is survived by his parents, Jim and Marge McGrory of Ladora, IA; his siblings, Mark (Chris) McGrory of Victor, IA, Maureen (Dr. Tim) Aksamit of Rochester, MN, and Monica (Jon) Eichhorn of Belle Plaine, IA; nine nieces and nephews, Erin (Justin) Riffel of Ladora, IA, Alyssa (Luke) Blood of Ladora, IA, Jared McGrory of Victor, IA, Jim Aksamit of Billings, MT, Claire Aksamit of Fort Collins, CO, William Aksamit of Milwaukee, WI, Joe Eichhorn of Belle Plaine, IA, Hannah Eichhorn of Belle Plaine, IA, Luke Eichhorn of Belle Plaine, IA; and five great nieces and nephews, Gage and Finn Riffel, and Layna, Brylee, and Rorie Blood.

He is preceded in death by his brother, Kenneth McGrory, just one month ago.

Memorials can be directed to the family.
