Daniel T. Dever

Daniel T. "Dan" Dever of Toledo, died peacefully on September 20, 2022, following a battle with cancer. He was the son of Tim and Elaine Dever and was born in Toledo on September 28, 1949. He attended Blessed Sacrament Elementary School, was a 1968 graduate of Central Catholic High School and a graduate of the University of Toledo. Dan met his wife, the former Kathryn Mahoney in the halls of Central Catholic. They would have been married 46 years on October 8th. Dan was a long-standing and active member of St. Catherine of Siena parish where he was a member of the parish Holy Name Society and coached both boys basketball and girls volleyball. Perhaps his favorite activity, however, was manning the beer booth for several years at the annual parish festival. After his graduation from the University of Toledo, Dan began his career in chemical and paper sales starting with the Mellocraft Co. Over the years, he won a variety of sales awards and trips, including sales of the year in 1988. He also received the Pathfinder Award from the International Paper Resource Network. He was also a proud member of the Choirboys. Dan was preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Patricia and his younger brother Thomas. Surviving are his wife, Kathryn; his son, Timothy (Grace) Dever; his daughters, Kara Moore (Todd) and Jennifer Gramza (Peter) and his brother, Timothy (Christine) Dever. Also surviving are his five grandchildren, Mackenzie, Madison and Maya Moore and Kamden and Lucy Gramza as well as many nieces and nephews. Dan wanted to make sure to thank his best friend, Jack Pasienza, and his kid brother, Tim for their love and support during the difficult past several months. Dan was a loving and giving husband, father, Pop Pop and brother and a generous and loyal friend. Like the Irishman he was, he was filled with great wit and humor. His loss will leave a huge void for those that knew and loved him. Friends are invited to join in Dan's Life Celebration on September 27, 2022 from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Ansberg-West Funeral Home, 3000 W. Sylvania Ave., Toledo, Ohio 43613.
