Ahlers, Daniel Lee (31 MAR 1988 - 4 MAR 2013)

Daniel Lee Ahlers, age 24, formerly of Jump River, was the victim of an accidental drowning on Monday, March 4, 2013, while jet-skiing on the ocean waters of Depoe Bay, off the coast of Lincoln City, Ore., where he had resided the past six years.

Daniel was born on March 31, 1988 in Ladysmith to Monte and Kathy (Kavanagh) Ahlers. In the fall of 2006, Danny made his way westward across Canada, finally making a home along the Oregon coast.

He did general remodeling and owned his own landscape and lawn care business, Green Toad Shoes. He enjoyed playing guitar, songwriting and ballroom dancing with his fiancée, Lillian Geurrera, also of Lincoln City.

Dan is survived by his parents; his fiancée, Lilli; and siblings, Bobby (Justine) Ahlers of Eau Claire, Cassie (Miguel) Munoz of California and Ethan Ahlers of Chippewa Falls. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Giles and Florence Kavanagh, and paternal grandparents, Jack and Lenora Ahlers.

Services were held at the Church of Christ in Sheldon, with Pastor Jeremy Allard officiating. Inurnment will take place at a later date in the Mount Nebo Cemetery in Jump River.

Gilman Funeral Home assisted the family with arrangements.
