Bennett, Daniel K. of Coon Rapids, passed away at home with his family by his side on February 1, 2017. Dan was born to Norma and Rollie Bennett on February 4, 1960 and grew up in Columbia Heights with his 3 siblings, Glen, Steve and Patty. After graduating from Columbia Heights High School in 1978, Dan followed in his father's footsteps and earned his Electrical Degree from Dunwooody Technical College. He was a practical man who lived his life with a positive attitude and an abundance of jokes. He enjoyed sharing stories and advice with family, friends and strangers alike. He and his first wife Mary brought 2 daughters into the world, Ashley (30) and Audrey (26). Later divorced, they always put their girls first and were true partners in parenting. On February 20, 1999 Dan married BonnieSue who admired Dan's love for his family and naturally fell into the role as a second mom to the girls. Together they created memories to carry throughout a lifetime, including trips to Lake of the Ozarks, camping, snow-mobiling, enjoying their cabin on North Twin Lake, playing with their 2 dogs, Chance and Jersey and enjoying rides in their 1963 Mercury Meteor and 1968 Dodge Dart Convertible. Dan was a Master Electrician and a proud member of IBEW Local 292. He retired on April 29, 2016 after 32 years of service. Two months after he retired, Dan was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. From the beginning he held a positive attitude and was always concerned with how his diagnosis impacted everyone's thoughts and feelings. He never stopped living life and just 2 weeks ago was enjoying trips to the cabin and riding his snowmobile. His family and friendships truly meant the world to him and he appreciated everyone's prayers, positive thoughts and visits. He was so proud of his family, his oldest daughter gave him 2 grandkids whom he adored and his youngest daughter recently graduated medical school. Dan was preceded in death by his mom, dad and brother, Glen. He is survived by his wife, BonnieSue (Kittleson); sister, Patty (Dale) Andersen; brother, Steve (Suzanne); and his 2 daughters, Ashley (Jared) Balthazor and Audrey.
