Daniel Thomas Dunahoo

Indiana. He was born on September 24, 1958, in Indianapolis and had called Putnam County

home for the past 35 years.

Danny owned and operated Custom Ice and Refrigeration with his cousin Wesley for many

years. In that time, he formed lasting friendships with customers, employees, and suppliers

alike. Known for his ever-present smile and sense of humor, Danny had a gift for making people

laugh — often with his famously corny “dad jokes,” which he proudly mastered. His cheerful

presence and warm heart left a mark on everyone who knew him.

Danny took great pride in his work and loved what he did, but the role he cherished most in life

was that of being a father. He was a devoted and loving dad to his daughter Elise, and his pride

in her was evident to all. He also deeply loved his stepchildren, and his grandchildren were the

light of his life.

Outside of work and family, Danny enjoyed fishing, being by the ocean, watching football, and

going out to eat with his loved ones — especially if it meant Japanese steakhouse or crab legs

were on the menu.

Danny was preceded in death by his parents, Glenna M. Watt and William T. Dunahoo; his wife,

Beth Wilburn; and his brother, Edward Watt. He is survived by his daughter, Elise D. Wilburn;

stepchildren, Amber and Erik Wilburn; grandchildren, Madalynn Sanford, Emery Wilburn, Gavin

Hoopingarner, Kinsleigh Wilburn, Myah Cook, and Tyler Cook; his brother, Mark Dunahoo; and

66 years’ worth of people who loved him.

At this time, no services are planned. To honor Danny, carry his values forward and keep his

memory alive by sharing his stories — the funny ones, the lessons he taught, and all the little

things that made him so special.
