Daniel Dee Bogaard

Daniel Dee Bogaard, age 75, of Sun Lakes, Arizona, passed away on July 10, 2025. He was born in Orange City, Iowa, on June 14, 1950. Dan graduated from M-OC High School, attended Northwestern College, and received a BA degree from the University of Iowa. He was married to Betty Vanden Hull on August 14, 1970, in Orange City, Iowa.

Dan’s career included twenty years in banking in Orange City, Iowa, Mt. Vernon, Illinois, and Oskaloosa, Iowa. He then became a small business owner in the lodging and Dutch imports industries, operating an inn in Pella, Iowa, and retail stores in Pella and Orange City, Iowa. In Pella, he was a twenty-year active member of Rotary, serving as treasurer. He was skilled in woodworking and home improvement, but his true passion was golf. In 2015, Dan and Betty retired to Sun Lakes, Arizona, where he could now indulge his love of golf daily in the resort community of IronOaks Country Club, where he built a network of very good friends.

He is survived by his wife Betty; son John and daughter-in-law Michele of Goodyear, Arizona; son Nicolas and daughter-in-law Claire, and granddaughter Maeve of Naples, Italy; sister Debra (Fred) DeHaan of Storm Lake, Iowa; and twelve additional brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.
