Daniel C. Grams, 59, passed away on Sunday, Oct. 12, 2014, at Summit Healthcare Regional Medical Center in Show Low following a sudden illness. A special memorial service will begin at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25, at Faith Lutheran Church, located at 2750 Mogollon Drive in Overgaard.
He was born on May 15, 1955, in Milwaukee, Wis., to the late Bernard and Dorothy Grams.
Daniel attended school in New Berlin, Wis.
He moved to Arizona nearly 35 years ago, and thoroughly enjoyed the diverse beauty of the state. He worked as an auto body technician for Horne Collision for five years and was well liked by his co-workers.
Daniel married Kristine on March 3, 2001, in Las Vegas. Her father was one of the witnesses to their union, which meant a great deal to Daniel. Most recently, the couple celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary together.
Daniel had three dogs that meant the world to him. He always kept them in a special place in his heart. They truly were his special friends, and Seka, Bondo and Sofi will miss his companionship and long walks in the mountains.
He loved being outside, and always enjoyed a good fishing and camping trip. He also appreciated music of all kinds and would pass time by listening to whatever he was in the mood for.
Survivors include his wife, Kristine Grams of Heber; three brothers, David (Dana) Grams of Merrel, Wis., Rick Grams of Milwaukee and Bob (Candy) Grams of Watertown, Wis.
Daniel will be missed. He truly loved his family and friends.
Memorial contributions made in his name to Pet Allies, 1181 E. Thornton Ave., Show Low, Ariz. 85901 have been suggested by his family.
