1944 – 2022
It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dear husband, father, papa and friend, Daniel Boone Sr., who passed away on Saturday, March 19, 2022 at home after a courageous battle with cancer.
Daniel will be forever remembered by his beloved wife, Mary-Ann; his children Daniel (Alanna), Lisa (Joe), Glen (Jennifer), and Cheryl (Robin); and his cherished grandchildren, Garret, Kara and Jared; Josh, Hannah and Theo; Matt, Emma and Chloe. He is survived by his sister Lorraine; brother Joseph (Lynda); and brother-in-law Frank; as well as many nieces, nephews and friends. Daniel was predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Godelieve.
Daniel’s work life started on his parents’ dairy farm in St Vital but his knack for math led him to a long, distinguished accounting career with James Richardson & Sons. Daniel’s life was happily filled with the simple things and his best friend and wife by his side.
Having all the children and grandchildren over for a get together of good food, a cup of cheer and great fun were some of his favourite moments. He especially enjoyed playing cards, Belgian bowling and 10-pin bowling. He took pride in his garden and generously shared his perfect tomatoes, potatoes and cucumbers.
Daniel and Mary-Ann took many trips to Minnesota and made many life-long friendships there. People were drawn to his amazing kindness, integrity and infectious laugh. He was loved by everyone he met and will be sincerely missed.
Per Daniel’s wishes, there will not be a funeral service.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Cancer Care or a charity of your choice.

My heartfelt condolences for your family’s great loss. I worked with Dan at Richardsons and later at Assante. He was always positive and helpful and a pleasure to work with.
To Mary-Ann and the whole family: it is always a sad & difficult time when we lose a husband, a brother, a parent and a grandparent. Dan was a true gentleman who I have had the pleasure of knowing for more than 30 years, and it is certain that everyone who knew Dan will be feeling a profound sense of loss. Hopefully, we will all find some comfort with our memories – Rest in Peace, my friend.
