Danny R Schwoeppe, of St. Meinrad, passed away Friday, April 26, 2024, at the age of 56. Danny, born August 2, 1967 in Huntingburg, to James and Adeline (Lindauer) Schwoeppe, married his wife of 29 years, Linda Hoppenjans, on November 26, 1994, in St. Meinrad Catholic Church.
Dan leaves behind his loving wife, Linda (Hoppenjans) Schwoeppe; three wonderful children, Alexis, MacKensie and D’artagnan; one grandson, Amari Reign Schwoeppe; two sisters, Vicki Wiederkehr (Phillip Andrews) of Huntingburg, and Gloria Olberding (Eddie) of Leopold; and 11 nieces and nephews.
Dan was a graduate of Heritage Hills High School and attended Ivy Tech in Evansville, studying Computer Science. Dan proudly served his country. A US Navy veteran, he was a member of the St. Meinrad K of C. Professionally, he was a Real Estate Broker and owned Southern Indiana Realty. Previous career paths included upholsterer at Best Chairs for many years, and various sales roles with Sternberg Automotive and LAN.
Dan will long be remembered for his big smiles, his fun-loving and easygoing ways. He loved his family, cherished his grandson, and was passionate about his camping, bourbon, and being either on two wheels or four wheels in a Jeep with his family and friends all around him.
Dan leaves behind a tribe of faithful friends and a devoted family where his laid-back spirit was felt and appreciated by all. His spiritual church always involved his friends and family on the weekends, making memories and laughs and enjoying the outdoors. His zest for life — and sharing it, especially with those he loved — will be sorely missed and cherished by all who knew him.
Danny was preceded in death by his parents.
Services were held at Becher Funeral Home in Ferdinand on Wednesday, May 1. Deacon Jay VanHoosier, Danny’s classmate from Heritage Hills HS class of 1985 and a lifelong friend, officiated.
A Celebration of Life for Danny will be held at a later, to be determined date.
