Daniel McLeod

As the Chicago Bears beat the Minnesota Vikings

on November 27, 2023 our husband, father,

grandfather and great grandfather passed

peacefully on his late daughter Jennifer's birthday,

surrounded by his wife and children. Dan was born

to Walter and Joyce McLeod in Butte on June 9, 1950.

The family moved to Philipsburg MT during one of the

Berkeley Pit strikes. Dan grew up and graduated from

Granite High School in Philipsburg and then returned to

Butte to attend college at Montana Tech.

Dan and June met in college September 1970, and

married a year later on September 4, 1971. They were

blessed with four extraordinary and wonderful children,

Denise, Brian, Katie and Jennifer (who passed away

and two brother in-laws and their families. He enjoyed

many close friends and co-workers. He loved his three fur

babies, Mia kitty, Josie and Penny, his two pups.

Family welcoming him into heaven are his daughter

Jennifer and grandson Kenneth, his parents Walter and

Joyce McLeod, his in-laws Richard and Shirley Sims,

grandparents, aunts and uncles.

Dan was an life long Chicago Bear fan, played football in

high school and loved bowling. He enjoyed hunting in

his younger years, wood burning, beer brewing and best

of all pestering his children, grandchildren or anyone

close by.

Dan went to work at Stauffer Chemical in 1971 and

worked there until it closed in 1997. He returned to

college and received his Bachelor of Science in Business

and Information Technology and went on to be a Natural

be held at a later date in 2024.
