Daniel Eugene Gordon, the son of Eugene and Sandra (Calloway) Gordon, was born July 18, 1972 in East Moline, Illinios. The family then moved to Kanawha, Iowa where Daniel was raised. He graduated from West Hancock High School in 1990.

After high school, Dan started a life-long passion of farming. He worked with different farmers over the years but enjoyed farming with his father and the family farm the most. Dan often said farming was his stress reliever. Dan also worked construction, had his CDL, and had mechanical training.

While working at EDS in Clarion, Dan met the love of his life Lorena Ponce De Leon Hernandez. The couple moved to Belmond together in 2003 and the couple was married July 27, 2006. On that day, Daniel not only gained a wonderful wife but they blended a beautiful family.

Dan was a loving husband, caring father and an amazing grandfather. You couldn’t describe him any better than a family man. Even when he was mad, he would still help you while probably yelling. He will be remembered for seeing the best in everyone and would help anyone anyway he could.

Dan is survived by his wife Lorena; children Reyna (Jay) Tapia, Michael (Miranda) Gordon, Lucero (Juan) Manuel, Larry Luna, Esau “Junior” (Haley) Luna, Carl Gordon, David Gordon and Ben Manhnesmith; grandchildren Maria, Adrian, Luis, Elisabeth, Jonathan Jr., Natalie, Roxi, Dante; brother Jim Gordon; half-sibling Jessica Calloway along with many nieces and nephews.

Preceded in death by his parents, a brother, and a sister.
