We Remember

ZIEMMER, Daniel Gerhard

November 7, 1929 — February 21, 2026

Daniel Gerhard Ziemmer, lovingly known as Dan, passed away in his sleep on February 21, 2026, at the age of 96.

Dan was born in Scapa, Alberta. He lived on the family farm with his parents, 2 brothers and 3 sisters until he met his wife Anne. Anne and Dan were married and had 5 children together. Unfortunately Anne passed away at a young age after only 14 years of marriage. Years later, Dan went on a blind date with Eleanor, a meeting that led to 40 years together. When their families blended, Dan was proud to be Dad to ten children. Over the years, the family continued to grow and now includes fourteen grandchildren, twenty-nine great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.

Dan lived an amazing 96 years. Always living near family in Alberta and B.C., doing the things he loved like square dancing, fishing, tending to his garden, baking cookies, playing a competitive game of crib, baseball and hockey, or planning his next trip. His stories and love of family will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

The family would like to thank the staff at Hospice House for their care and kindness.

Dan’s service will be held on THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2026, at 1:00 PM (PST), located at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.

As Dan would always say at the end of a phone call “Bye for now.”
