Daniel D. Uhl, 60, of Ogden, passed away Thursday afternoon, April 5, 2012, at the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics in Iowa City.

Daniel’s wishes were to be cremated. A memorial service was held at 2 p.m., Tuesday, April 10, at the Community United Methodist Church in Ogden with Rev. Gary Hoyt officiating. Visitation was from noon until the time of services at the church on Tuesday. Honorary pallbearers were Tim Eagan, Charlie Hoss, John LeFebvre, Gregg Marsh, Jack Tullis. Carson-Stapp Funeral Home in Ogden was in charge of the arrangements.

Dan was born March 13, 1952, in Sioux City to Darrell and LaVonne Uhl of Mapleton. He spent his early years in Mapleton and graduated from Maple Valley High School in 1970.

Dan was the essential jack-of-all-trades and held jobs in such varied fields as floral arranging, mining, construction, landscaping, sales (he was a born salesman), rehabilitation therapy, bartending, and most recently as a security guard at Ames Lab at Iowa State University.

He was married on May 28, 1983, in Sioux City to Marcia (neé Bernard) formerly of Jefferson, S.D. They made their home together in several cities over the course of their marriage, including Sioux City, Boone, New Hampton, Muscatine, and finally back in Ogden for the last six years. Dan raised Marcie’s two sons, Bryce and Brett Groth, as his own. He and Marcie also had two children together, a son, Adam, and a daughter, Celine. Dan and Marcie were also pleased to be recently reunited with another son, Ryan Hartmann. Theirs was not the typical family, but love was the thread that tied them together.

Dan’s hobbies kept him outdoors most of the time. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and ice fishing, camping, gardening, morel mushroom gathering, and nearly anything that took him outdoors. Dan was enamored with the mysteries of nature and connected with God through his awe. He also prided himself on a keen eye for “treasures” hunted down in secondhand and consignment shops. He never turned down a chance to go “goodyin’”.

Survivors include his wife, Marcie; sons Ryan (Tammy) of Sioux Falls, S.D., Bryce of Whiting; Brett (Mary-Ann) of Nevada; Adam (Emily) of Iowa City; daughter, Celine of Ogden; sisters Judy (Gary) Golden of Sioux City; and Ginice (Gary) Sturges of Hermosa, S.D.; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren who will all miss him sorely.
