Daniel McCauley, 71, of Kent, peacefully passed into the spiritual realm on Sunday, May 8, 2016 at his home surrounded by loved ones.
He was born December 18, 1944 in Des Moines, IA to Howard and Marjorie (Conkel) McCauley. Daniel was an Electrical Engineer for AMETEK/Lamb Electric. Dan was an amateur photographer and an insatiable reader. His analytical mind was to be reckoned with during any discussion. He never knew the meaning of "just give me the Reader's Digest version." Being a true engineer, he wanted others to be able to study the workings of the human body; thus he donated his body to NEOMED for research and educational purposes.
He is survived by his wife, Dianne Kauffman, whom he married in 1985; sons, Rodney (Pam) McCauley of Niakie, CT and Craig (Kellie) McCauley of Cleveland; grandchildren, Megan McCauley, Ryan McCauley, and Sean McCauley; sisters, Bernice (Ken) Hermann of Ames, IA, and Roberta (Jerry) Nicol of Prescott, AZ; mother-in-law, JoAnn Kauffman of Wooster; brother-in-law, Steve Kauffman of Wooster; sister-in-law, Sharon (Jim) Stuart of Owensboro, KY; and nieces and nephews, Laura Kerchin of Cambridge, IA, Amanda Ijames of Murray, KY, Brian McCauley of Ames IA, and Matt Stewart of Richmond VA.
A calling hours will be held 2:00 - 6:00 PM Monday, June 6th at the Carriage House (the site of their wedding reception) Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens, 714 North Portage Path in Akron with a Celebration of Life at 3:30 PM with Kevin O'Brien officiating.
