Daniel Joseph Comerford, 56 of Mondovi, WI passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 5, 2016 at Mayo Health Systems in Eau Claire, surrounded by his family after a 15 month battle with cancer.
Dan was born on January 30, 1960 in Eau Claire, WI the son of the late Donald and Doris (Kizer) Comerford. He was a 1978 graduate of Eau Claire North High School.
He married Carol Hurley on June 15, 1991 at St. Olaf Catholic Church in Eau Claire. Shortly thereafter they built a home in rural Mondovi where together they raised their two children. Dan was an avid outdoorsman and he thoroughly enjoyed bow and rifle hunting on his 80 acres. He loved to be home with family and friends on Packer Sunday and always enjoyed a good western. Most of all, Dan loved spending time at the family cabin on Lake Holcombe and was a big supporter of his children and their many activities. His kids were his pride and joy!
He worked at Midwest Manufacturing for over 30 years.
Dan is survived by his wife Carol, children Carly and Colin, sister-in-law Dianne Comerford of Chippewa Falls; Sisters Linda (Jim) Rudahl of Elk Mound, and Sue (Roger) Shilts of Eau Claire, and many nephews, nieces, extended family and close friends.
