Remembering Daniel Paxson

Daniel Timothy Paxson, age 59, of Lombard, Illinois, passed away on Monday, August 3, 2026. Dan dedicated many years to Deluxe and Lift-All, where he served as Team Lead/Plant Manager with pride and integrity. Known for his strong work ethic, he approached every responsibility with determination and commitment. Dan fostered strong personal and professional relationships with everyone he worked with. Above all, he was the rock of his family—a steady source of strength, wisdom, and unwavering support. 

He was preceded in death by parents, Alan and Delores Paxson; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Bryce and Barbara Boston; brother, John Paxson; sister, Joan Franke; and nephew, John Paxson Jr. Dan will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 34 years, Brenee Paxson; children, Kenna and Austin Van Vuren, Bryce and Randi Paxson; grandchildren, Kaden, Rowan, and Reagan; siblings, Donna and Thaddeus Lewand, Julia and Mark Moore, Mark and Sandra Paxson; many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, and a host of lifelong friends. 

A casual service to celebrate Dan’s life will be held at 3:15 p.m. on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf Funeral Home (Grandville) 4145 Chicago Dr. SW. Relatives and friends may visit with the family on Saturday from 2:00-3:15 p.m. at the funeral home prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Huntington’s Disease Society of America

Danny was one of my brothers-in-law that I had a lot of fun with over the years. The Paxson family was part of my life for over a decade. I miss watching football games with Danny especially when my Bears were playing against his Houston Oilers at the time. You were a great brother-in-law and you will be missed. love you Weasel <3

Danny is in a class of his own. Not one sole can ever match his wit, charm, kindness, integrity and so many more. My heart goes out to Brenee and the kids ! He was one Angel called home too soon.

Wow, to say that this man will be missed is the understatement of the century. He was funny, loving, kind, irreverent (in an amazing way) and so much more. He treated every person like he knew them forever whether they just met or hadn’t seen them in a while…literally every person! My prayers are with Brenee, Bryce and Kenna and families. You were so lucky to be loved by Weasy. We all were lucky to have him in our lives.

— Krista Gibboney

Danny Thanks for a lifetime of love, laughs, and brotherhood. We'll miss you forever.
