Obituary

MIDDLETON - Daniel S. “Dan” Behrend, age 52, of Middleton, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, December 7, 2024. He was born on November 23, 1972, in Madison, the son of Frederick and Mary (Kolb) Behrend.


A graduate of Middleton High School, class of 1991, Dan's passion for nature was evident through his years as a landscaper.  His spirit of adventure was unmatched, always seeking the thrill in boating, fishing, golfing, and the adrenaline rush of downhill skiing, water skiing and skateboarding.

Dan was a friend to everyone he met. His infectious zeal and ever-present smile were his trademarks. He lived fully, loved deeply


Daniel is survived by his son, Jack Otterson; father, Frederick Behrend; sister, Tanya (Andy) Cole; nephew, Landon Cole; and many aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Behrend; brother, Corey Behrend; aunt, Judy Faren; uncles, Robert “Robbie” Kolb and Robert “Bob” Faren; and his grandparents.


A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Living on Middleton street was always a little brighter when Dan was around. He would always wave and say hello when out walking the dog, or zooming around on his scooter. I’m so sorry for your loss. He was a great guy and a kind soul. He will be missed in the neighborhood.

I remember coming down to Madison and meeting Danny B. for the first time. What a big personality and infectious laugh. He greeted me with open arms and made sure I was well taken care of as a friend of a friend new to the area, even if it was for just a week. Danny B you sir will be missed.
