John Daniel Toth

John Daniel Toth, known to many as Dan, passed away on May 3, 2026. He was born on February 13, 1964, and lived a life defined by service, craftsmanship, adventure, and deep devotion to his family and friends.

Dan was preceded in death by his parents, Emma Jane Grigsby (1994), and John William Toth (2004); his wife, Barbara Nedrow‑Toth (2021); and his stepfather, Jackie Dan Bethel (2026). He is also preceded in death by his sister, Charlotte Viola Veronica Toth (2001).

He is survived by his son, Brent Daniel Toth; his sisters, Jane Elizabeth Fiest and Martha Louise Beebe; and his step‑siblings, Shanna Traynom, Reid Bethel, and Marina Bright.

Dan graduated from Shawnee Mission Northwest High School in 1983 and immediately answered the call to serve his country. He enlisted in the United States Army in 1983, serving on active duty until 1987, and continued his military career with the Missouri National Guard from 1987 until his retirement in 2005. His more than 22 years of service were a source of great pride.

A skilled carpenter and natural entrepreneur, Dan began his self‑employment journey in 1987, building a successful siding and remodeling business through hard work and craftsmanship. In 2008, he transitioned to over‑the‑road trucking, earning his CDL and traveling across the country.

Dan married the love of his life, Barbara, in 1999. Together they built their home in Tonganoxie, Kansas, where they lived until 2020 before relocating to Yuma, Arizona. After Barbara’s passing in 2021, Dan moved to Belton, Missouri, where he resided until his own passing.

Dan was an avid hunter, fisherman, a devoted craftsman, and a man who took pride in having traveled to all 48 contiguous states. He loved classic cars, the outdoors, and the simple joys of hands‑on work. Above all, he was a loving father, husband, and a friend to all who met him.

Dan’s legacy lives on in the family he cherished, the homes he built, the miles he traveled, and the countless lives he touched along the way.
