Daniel "Dan" Stafford
July 16, 1952 ~ April 25, 2021
Daniel “Dan” Stafford, 68, of Indianapolis, passed away April 25, 2021. He was born on July 16, 1952 in Indianapolis to the late Donald and Marjorie Stafford.
Specializing in intricate woodworking, Dan was a finish carpenter for most of his life. Dan was quite an accomplished bass fisherman; he enjoyed competing in Bass Fishing Tournaments. You never knew what prize Dan would bring home from a tournament, life jackets, trolling motors, or even boats, but he usually came home with something for the family. Dan owned many Labrador Retrievers throughout his life; his beloved lab, Dixie survives.
Dan is survived by his loving wife, Marlene Stafford; daughter, Dana M. Fondren; son, Daniel R. Stafford; grandchildren, Brianna Stafford and Ryan Fondren; sister, Kathy Urshan; brothers, Donald and Douglas Stafford; and many nieces and nephews.

Dan was a very quiet , private person. But when i got to know him, I found him to be a very warm, kind, helpful and giving person. He was a talented painter, carpenter and fantastic at remodeling. He was a perfectionist at whatever he did. Dan had a sincere desire to work for God and win souls. During one of his group home Bible Studies I brought my dad. He liked Dan right away. So much so that after a few more Bible Studies, Dan got him to obey scripture and get baptized in Jesus Name. My dad has gone on to be with Jesus since then and Dan attended his funeral. Dan May be gone but he will always have a special place in my heart.
Very nice man sorry for your loss prayers for all of you
We are so heartbroken. Our prayers are with you Marlene
