Daniel George Ewings

Daniel "Dan" George Ewings (1964-2023) Daniel George Ewings, age 59, passed away on December 8, 2023, surrounded by family and loved ones, after suffering a stroke. He is preceded in death by his parents, Jo and Gary Ewings, and Larry Wieczorek; grandparents, Mary (Dan) Baures and Joe Dureske, Lilla and Milton Ewings; nephew, Joshua Danielson. Dan was born on a crisp autumn day, October 2, 1964, in Winona, Minnesota, to his parents, and loving older sister Lori. In December of 1975, the family welcomed their 3rd child, Stephanie, and just like that, their family was complete. In Dan's younger years in Fountain City, Wisconsin, he enjoyed hunting with his grandpa Baures, and many weekends at the farm and lake where he spent time with uncles, aunts, and cousins. In the spring of 1976, the family moved to Shoreview, MN. Dan was enrolled in Mounds View School District and graduated with the class of 1983. Growing up he was a lover of basketball, golf, and nearly every other sport - watching or playing. He made many friends in school who remained in his life until the very end. After graduation, and at the time he was beginning his career, one summer night, Dan caught sight of a woman he would never forget-his beloved wife, Kim (Danielson). Kim and Dan met in 1988 where Dan not only found a new love unlike any other in a partner, but also a special love for a one-year-old little boy, Alex. Dan embraced his fatherly role with joy as the three of them began their lives together. Kim and Dan married in the summer of 1995, moved to Lino Lakes, and welcomed a son, Jordan, in March of 1997. In December of 2000, they were blessed with another son, Jack. Dan officially had over half of his basketball team! Being a dad was Dan's greatest joy. Throughout the years he coached many of the boys' youth sports teams. He changed his work schedule by going into the office at 6 AM, so he wouldn't miss a single 4:00 PM game. Dan loved nothing more than seeing his three boys happy, healthy, and successful throughout all stages of their lives. Being a dad was his most treasured gift and something he truly never took for granted. Beyond being an attentive father and loving husband, Dan found joy in many of the simple things in life. He and Kim built a life together enjoying incredible lasting friendships. He could be vacationing on a beach in the most breathtaking tropical paradise or sitting around their kitchen table in Lino Lakes, the location didn't matter, it was who he was with that mattered. He was happy if he was surrounded by Kim, his amazing friends, and all the people who meant the most to him. He took pride in his lawn - a fallen leaf on the ground was not his friend, as many of you know! He loved to cook. His passion for the Vikings, the Twins, and Timberwolves never went unnoticed. He loved golfing with his friends and always looked forward to their annual golf trip. He also loved nothing more than being at home, in the space where he felt most comfortable snuggled up with his two puppies who loved him dearly, Louie and Miles. Oh, and going to bed early - nothing could beat that! He showed everyone how to make each day a blessing no matter how ordinary it may have been. Dan will be remembered for not only being a devoted husband, exceptional father, loving brother, and caring friend, but also for his patient heart, calm demeanor, and gentle soul to all who knew him. To know Dan was to love Dan. There will truly never be another person like him. As a family, we encourage all who experienced his heart to forever share his memory anytime he is thought of because that is how we keep his spirit alive within all of us. Love one another. Say you're sorry. Be kind to strangers and tell your loved ones how much they mean to you, for tomorrow is not promised. Thank you for the part you played in Dan's life. If you are reading this, you mattered, and Dan cared about you. May his life live on in our memories, our stories, and our love for him. Dan is survived by his wife, Kim; sons, Alex, Jordan, and Jack; sisters, Lori (Ron) Voigtlander and Stephanie (Brad) Esson; many nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.
