Dan was born February 17, 1951 in Toledo, OH to Woodrow Wilson & Lucille (Truckor) Drennan. He married Marcia A. Vogl April 16, 1971 in Toledo, OH.
Dan was a highly recognized golf course superintendent. He began his career in the 1970’s with the Lucas County Recreation Center in Ohio where he served as General Manager, also caring for the Toledo Mudhens baseball field. In the early 1980’s, Dan was superintendent of the Toledo Country Club, before relocating to Bronson in 1993, where he owned and operated Prairie River Golf Course for 15 years.
His career was a testament to his expertise, patience and love for the game, earning him deep respect within the golfing community for maintaining excellence on the greens. He had also worked for the Coldwater Country Club and Bella Vista and was a longstanding member of the Golf Course Superintendent Association.

He devoted many years to mentoring the youth through retreats and guidance, teaching the values of diversity, acceptance and compassion.
Dan was a former Rotarian, a dedicated bowler in local leagues, a skilled craftsman flipping houses, known as “Tooly”, and an avid Poker player who enjoyed the strategy of the game, even hosting a weekly poker/Euchre night for 23 years.
Above all, Dan was a devoted family man. He loved his work but loved his family more, dedicating himself to teaching his children the value of a strong work ethic, integrity and love.
