Daniel Dennis Weiser

Daniel Dennis Weiser, 66, died October 2, 2019 at Hamilton Trace in Fishers, IN, from complications from ALS after being diagnosed in 2018. Dan was incredibly loved by everyone who knew him. He was kind, brilliant, had the best sense of humor, was quiet and thoughtful, a voracious reader, an amazing cook, a Master gardener, loving husband, father and grandfather and the biggest Penn State football fan imaginable. Dan was born January 11, 1953 to Donald and Rose Weiser in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He had a lifelong passion for education and learning and after high school graduation went on to the Electronics Institute and graduated in 1972 with an Associate’s Degree in Electronics and Specialized Sciences. After a brief stint in the computer world, Dan began working at Roche Diagnostics in 1977 as a service representative. In 1985 he was promoted and he and the family relocated from Pennsylvania to Fishers, Indiana, where he was a beloved and respected employee at Roche for 37 years, until his retirement in 2014. Throughout his long career he was also continuing his education, going on to receive certificate diplomas from both IUPUI and Penn State University. Dan had so many interests he was passionate about and truly lived life to the fullest. He had a deep love of gardening and loved working in his own backyard garden oasis he created, as well as being a member of the Hamilton County Master Gardner’s program. He was a history buff, seeker of knowledge, enjoyed wine trips and dinner with friends, Friday night date nights with his wife, spending time with his grandchildren and teaching them about the great outdoors and long walks with his dog, Ajax. After his retirement he enjoyed spending time wine making, playing his favorite computer games, restoring an antique dollhouse and watching as much Penn State football as he could. Dan was also a longtime member of Faith Presbyterian Church where he served as an Elder and Clerk of Session for many years. Dan is preceded in death by his father, Donald. He is survived by his mother, Rose; beloved wife of 43 years, Angie; his three children, Jessica (Lyle Koehnlein), Andrea and Eric; brothers, Rick and Donald (Sherry); sister, Bonnie; sisters-in-law, Caroline Thompson (Monte) and Rosemary Cunningham; nephews, Ian and Justin Thompson; and two of the greatest joys in his life, his grandchildren, Alexandra and Anthony; and his treasured dog, Ajax.
