Daniel Eugene Harman

Daniel E Harman, 78, of Sun Lakes, AZ, went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on November 22, 2025, surrounded by family. Dan battled hard for the past year against an unknown form of Large B Cell Lymphoma.

Dan was born in Columbia MO. He graduated from Billings West High School, Billings, MT and NW Nazarene University, Nampa, ID. He received his Masters Degree from the University of Mary, Bismarck, ND.

Dan married Linette (Lin) Kirschemann on December 11, 1971 in Bismarck, ND. After graduating from Naval Officers Candidate School in Newport, RI in 1972, Dan and Lin moved across the country to San Diego, CA where they were stationed for 4 years at Naval Base San Diego and Naval Base Coronado. While in San Diego, they were blessed with the birth of their daughter, Gail. In 1976, Dan was honorably discharged from the Navy and moved his family back to North Dakota.

The ND State Health Dept was his work home for 37 years as a manager for the Air Quality Division and Radiation Control Monitoring. After retiring in 2013, Dan and Lin moved to Billings, MT to be closer to family and to be able to attend many of his grandsons (Tanner) wrestling matches and granddaughters (Megan) basketball games. While in Billings, Dan enjoyed working part-time for 10 years as a NAPA parts delivery driver. In 2024, Dan and Lin moved to Sun Lakes, AZ.

Dan enjoyed hunting and spending time outdoors. He was a member of a local hiking group in Sun Lakes. His fondest memories were of helping on the Kirschemann family farm southwest of Regent, ND during 51 seasons of harvest.

Dan is survived by his wife Lin, daughter Gail (Troy) Brown, Billings, MT, grandson Tanner (Jonelle) Brown, Twin Falls, ID, and granddaughter Megan Brown, Minneapolis, MN; his brother Paul (Cheryl) Harman, and sisters Gena (Tim) Davidson and Lynda Patterson; brother-in-law Leon (Cynthia) Kirschemann, sister-in-law Cindy (Chuck) Dreifus, and many nieces and nephews. Preceding Dan in death were his parents Ray and Maxine Harman, his in-laws Harold and Lorena Kirschemann, and his brother-in-law Bill Patterson.

May God richly bless each and everyone of you who journeyed and prayed with us over the past year. A special thank you to Chuck, Cindy, and Katie for the countless hours you spent with Dan at the many hospital stays. Also a special thank you to Leon, Terry, Harrison, and M&M Catering (Melissa and Maddie) for the countless memories Dan spoke about often of those crazy and sometimes stressful, but rewarding, harvest seasons as he loved every minute of his time on the farm.
