Our beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend returned home to his Father in Heaven on April 29, 2019 and was joyfully reunited with the love of his life, his wife, Jean, and his daughter, Rebecca Jean. He embraced life and lived it to the fullest. He was always happiest serving others.
Daniel began his life in Ogden on October 10, 1922, born to Hermina Nettie Shaw and Elbert Perle Drumiler. He loved scouting and at an early age became an Eagle Scout. He married his college sweetheart, Jean Chamberlin, in the Salt Lake Temple on March 8, 1944. They had six daughters and one son and shared seventy-one years together.
Daniel earned a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Utah and later a Masters degree at the University of Washington. Shortly after he and Jean married, they moved to Oakridge, Tennessee to work on the Manhattan Project. Their journey took them from Tennessee to Washington State and California before making Utah their final home.
Daniel's many interests included softball, tennis, hiking, carpentry, gardening, and teaching all his children to ski. He loved playing the piano for his grandchildren. After retirement, he enjoyed teaching college chemistry. His favorite hobby was working in his cornfield and then giving all the corn away to his family and friends. He became affectionately known as Farmer Dan.
Because of his love for the gospel and for people, he served his whole life faithfully and with enthusiasm. Dan and Jean served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the New York, New York mission and later served as ordinance workers in the Bountiful Temple.
Daniel is survived by his children, Dianne Torgersen (Sheril), Shauna Jones (Nick), Kathleen White (Roger), Lauren Reinholtz (Ron), Karen Parsons (Matthew), and Daniel James Drumiler (Marilyn); sister, Cleo Murray; twenty-seven grandchildren; and thirty-seven great-grandchildren.
