Daniel Frykman
Daniel Paul Frykman, age 75, died January 7, 2025, at the Cherry Cove Senior Living community in Sturgeon Bay. Dan was a son of the late Wilfred and Margaret Frykman, Wheaton, Illinois. He is survived by siblings Karen Frykman, San Rafael, California; Faith Frykman, Dianne Frykman Capps, and David Frykman, all of Door County. He was predeceased by his sister, Phyllis Frykman Dixon of Tennessee. Dan is also survived by nine nieces and nephews, as well as fourteen great nieces and nephews. Dan was born in Lincoln, Nebraska and lived in Wheaton, Illinois until he attended Bryan College in Dayton, Tennessee. He finished his higher education at University of Illinois in Chicago. Prior to moving to Sturgeon Bay, Dan lived in California, Utah and, most recently, Hayden, Arizona. An outstanding athlete, he excelled in cross-country track, pole-vaulting and soccer. Later, his passion was family and glamour photography. And he was, at times, a cross-country 18-wheeler driver. Thank you to Dr. Paul S. Board MD and his wonderful staff at Door County Medical Center for the care they gave Dan. Thank you to the Cherry Cove Senior Living staff for the loving care they provided, and to the residents for his many friendships. And another warm thank you to the staff at Unity Hospice for their compassionate care. Forbes Funeral Home is assisting the family; online condolences may be offered at forbesfuneralhome.com. A celebration of Dan’s life will be held in the spring.
