Retired Army Sergeant First Class Daniel Fritsch went to be with Jesus, on August 9, 2023, at his home, surrounded by his wife and children. He was born on November 8, 1964, in Neenah, the son of Daniel and Catherine (Marx) Fritsch. Dan was a student of St. Patrick Elementary School and then St. Mary High School, Menasha. He finished his senior year at Neenah High School, where he graduated in 1983. Soon after his graduation he joined the Army and after 20 years of serving our country, he was able to retire in 2021. Dan worked at JJ Keller for 17 years, throughout his deployments. Dan was a patriotic and protective man who served his country and his family well. He gave regularly to military organizations and others in need. Dan has many extended family and friends that love and look up to him. He will be remembered most as an exceptional role model, problem solver, mentor, family man, and Veteran.
