Daniel J. Dreger of Livonia, MI passed away on Sunday, May 21, 2023 at the age of 76. Dan was born on March 26, 1947 in Detroit, MI to Joseph and Catherine and was brother to Diane. Beloved husband of Jane for over 50 years. Proud father of Jason (Jennifer), Michelle (Eric) and Jennifer (Darius). Loving grandfather of Sydnee, Lauren, Alexander, Adrianna, Nicholas, Olivia and Sophia.
After graduating high school, Dan enlisted in the Marine Corps where he served two tours in Vietnam. He was a Purple Heart recipient and a proud veteran. He then attended Madonna University and subsequently began his career in law enforcement, first with the Detroit Police Department and then with the Wayne County Sheriff Department, where he retired as a Sergeant after 30 years of service.
Dan loved telling stories (and he had many to tell), having lunch with his friends (including the “Choirboys”), and enjoying time with his grandchildren. He was also a big sports fan and especially loved watching Michigan football.
