Daniel Alfred DePagter, 74, of Sheboygan, passed away on Saturday, August 24, 2019, at
Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice.
Dan “Screech” was born on May 19, 1945, in Sheboygan, WI, to Harvey and Gertrude
(Buchholz) DePagter. He was a 1963 graduate of Oostburg High School and served his country
in the U.S. Army from 1963 until 1969.
Dan worked in the concrete business for over 40 years or as he would say “more years of
experience than I care to admit”, working for many years at Stecker Construction and later
owning and operating his own business, Dan's Concrete.
Dan enjoyed his work and occupied his time with work related activities over his life. He never
stopped trying to build a better mouse trap. He was a hard worker and dedicated to helping others
in many ways.
Dan is survived by his two sons, Rob (Maria) Baer of Cleveland, WI, Tony DePagter of Hong
Kong; two grandsons, Nicholas Baer, Noah Baer; and two brothers, Gerald (Janis) DePagter of
Sheboygan, Richard DePagter of Bradenton, FL; and his faithful companion, his dog C.J.
Daniel was preceded in death by his wife, Carol Jean DePagter; parents, Harvey (Gertrude)
DePagter; sister, Elaine (John) Hubing; two brothers, Edward DePagter, Norbert DePagter; and a
sister-in-law, Maria DePagter.
A funeral service to celebrate Dan's life will be held on Friday, August 30, 2019 at 12:00 pm at
the Wenig Funeral Home of Oostburg. Burial will take place at Oostburg Cemetery.
