Daniel Wagner

Daniel Wagner, a devoted husband, father, and proud veteran, passed away on Thursday, April 3, 2025, surrounded by love.

Born in Antigo, Wisconsin, he dedicated 23 years of his life to service in the United States Air Force, a tenure that earned him several commendations, including a Purple Heart. His commitment to his country was paralleled by his unwavering support for the Wounded Warrior Program, reflecting his deep compassion for those who served alongside him.

After retiring from military service, Daniel transitioned into a fulfilling career with the United States Post Office, where he continued to serve his community with integrity and dedication. His life was characterized not only by his professional achievements but also by the joy he found in his hobbies. An avid outdoorsman, he cherished hunting, fishing, and boating, activities that brought him solace and adventure amid the beauty of nature. Most importantly, he treasured the time spent with his family, creating lasting memories that will forever hold a special place in their hearts.

As a Roman Catholic, Daniel found strength and guidance in his faith, which was a cornerstone of his life. He leaves behind a legacy of courage, kindness, and unwavering support for those in need.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Ervin and Evangline Wagner; and his brother, Irvin Wagner.

Daniel is survived by his wife, Frances M. Wagner; children, Peter (Patricia), Michael (Lisa), and Marty; grandchildren, Danielle Novick (Justin), Jared Wagner (Rachael), Connor Wagner, and their mother, Roxanna Wagner, Glenn Quave, Jared Quave, Jacob Quave and Eli Cooper; and great grandchildren, Matthius, Daniel, Tessa, Soren, and Atlas.

The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. McGee, Dr. Hann, Angela Meadows, NP, Singing River Cardiology, Saads Home Health and Hospice, Singing River Health Systems, and all family and friends who provided care and support during this time. Daniel's spirit will live on through the countless lives he touched and the love he shared.

Daniel will be laid to rest at a later date at Biloxi National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested you to consider making contributions to the Wounded Warrior Project.
