LEAVITTSBURG -- Daniel K. "Biker Dan" Redick, 66, of Leavittsburg, passed away unexpectedly Tuesday, April 11, 2023, at his home.
He was born July 18, 1956, in Warren, the son of the late Kenneth L. and the late Louise Ella McCollum Redick.
Dan's most favorite thing was watching "WWE Raw" and "WWE SmackDown" with his little buddy, Daniel "Popeye."
For many years, he enjoyed the pleasure of having faithful, four-legged friends -- Sugar, Sarge and Abby were three of his favorites.
Dan would hold his head high when speaking to his friends about his occupation of "turning wrenches" for years with pride. Dan worked as a diesel mechanic for Sonic Trucking and Miller Yaunt.
He was involved in many poker runs with his biker friends on the motorcycle. He loved cookouts with his family and his summer vacations of joy were taking his wife, Robin, to Cook Forest and Geneva-on-the-Lake on the bike.
After a long day at the shop, Dan had his favorite watering holes to keep up with the latest news; he would then return home and swim with his family and mow grass.
He was never one to give up easy. Dan was a true fighter and fought a tough battle of cancer several years ago.
Lastly, he was one-of-a-kind to those who knew him.
He is survived by his wife, Robin Redick of Cortland; son, Daniel "Popeye"; daughters, Michelle and Jessica; grandchildren, Mina and Tonie; and siblings, Lea (Thomas), Steve (Carole), Dawn (Steve), Tim and Beth (Jeff).
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Chris, and his wife, Debbie.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Carl W. Hall Funeral Home.
