He graduated from Dodgeville High School in 1974, followed by his enlistment in the United States Army and was stationed in Germany.

Dan (a.k.a. Peaches) had a career of working in maintenance as he was a jack of all trades. He enjoyed helping people, especially those who were less fortunate than himself. Growing up in Ridgeway, Dan worked alongside his brothers to help as needed at his father’s Dietzman’s Texaco station. In his youth, Dan enjoyed riding minibikes and snowmobiles around Ridgeway. As an adult, he was passionate about riding his Harley Davidson Sportster. Dan really loved the various dogs and cats he raised including his current cat, Katie.

Dan is survived by his siblings, Julie Dietzman, Kim (Glori Sabin) Dietzman, Renae (Rob) Stafslien; sister-in-law, Alice Dietzman; stepmother, Betty Dietzman: stepsiblings, Rick (Robin) Short, Vicky (Mark) Rostowfske, Mike Short and numerous relatives and friends.
