Daniel Laux
Daniel Lee Anthony Laux, 70, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving children on May 6, 2024.
Son of the late John & Gertrude Laux.
Surviving are his children Jessica (Timothy) Barr of Kent, Ohio; Melissa Sinning of Rockford, Ohio; Angela (Ryan) Pias of New Haven, Ind.; Derek (Estephania) Laux of Denver, Colo.; and Logan (Jenny) Laux of Lebanon, Ohio along with 14 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

He was dearly loved by his children on whom his impact will never be forgotten. His Catholic faith was his foundation as a lifelong member of St. Teresa Catholic Church. His mastery was in MacGyver skills, as he could fix anything with a paper clip & a pencil. He was an avid Browns fan, an expert Sudoku player, and math tutor. He retired from CTS after 30 years of service as quality control engineer. He was the grandpa not to miss a sporting event or concert & always stepped up to help with homework. He never missed an opportunity to support his children & grandchildren.
Visitation will be held from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. Thursday, May 9, 2024 at Ketcham Ripley Funeral Home, 111 W. First St., Rockford.
