Family and Friends who are unable to attend the service in-person are welcome to stream the service at the following link: Dan Gosse Memorial Service (Meeting ID: 876 8858 5567 / Passcode: 258499).
Dan was born on October 30, 1958 in St. Paul, MN. He grew up on his family farm in Wabasha before graduating in 1977 from Wabasha-Kellogg high school. Shortly after high school, he served honorably with the United States Army Reserves, traveling through-out Europe and getting stationed in Germany for two weeks.
Out of high school, Dan began working for with Pass Construction and continued his career in carpentry from there, doing many jobs around town over the years. Most recently Dan worked with Emerson processing and shipping, where he made many friends over the last ten years. A lover of old architecture and carpentry, Dan was passionate about his work and was a true craftsman. He put thought and effort into everything he created. When Dan talked people into his ideas for projects, they never regretted giving him creative license.
Following his high school graduation, he married Mary Clark and was blessed with a daughter, Audumn Star on February 19, 1980. Later, Dan and Mary went their separate ways, and Dan found his way to the Jordan area, where he met and married his wife of 32 years, Debbie Sames at St. John’s Catholic Church, Jordan, where they were members for many years.
In Jordan, they built a life together and on June 25, 1991, their daughter Stephanie was born. Dan became a large part of the community volunteering his carpentry skills, coaching softball, and being active in the motorcycle community. Dan was well known around town for his magnetic personality, playing as Santa at Rademacher’s, and going out of his way to serve and get to know the elderly community. He had a deep respect for the “old timers” and loved hearing their stories. Dan was passionate about fast pitch softball, and fast bikes, especially his “chopper” that few challengers beat. He also loved his family dearly, instilling his own values of respect, efficiency, and honesty in his children throughout his life. He had a special relationship with Bernice, Debbie’s mother, and loved garage sales and getting breakfast with her. Dan was blessed to be a grandpa later in life and was always sure to ask how his grandkids were doing. He knew their personalities in and out before they knew themselves.
Dan was respected and well loved by everyone whose life he touched with all his special talents, warm heart, and laughing eyes. Non-judgmental, caring, and intelligent in many ways, Dan and his huge personality will be greatly missed by his wife, Debbie; daughters, Audumn Richardson and her children, Lilliana, Lydia, and Cayton, and Stephanie Gosse (Shane Wheeler); mother, Audrey Gosse; siblings, Darrell (Sarah) Gosse and Deidre (Dan) McHone; best friend, Steve “Gas” Gaskill; and many other nieces, nephews, family, and friends.
He is preceded in death by his father, Art Gosse; son, Joshua Daniel; and in-laws that he loved as his own parents, Werner and Bernice Sames.

Print Obituary & CondolencesLori and I offer our most sincere condolences. Danny was a wonderful human being who always shared a smile and great commeradity. Our prayers are with your family.
Was so very sorry to hear about Dan’s passing. I pray that the family can find peace during this difficult time.
Deb and Steph so sorry to hear of Dan’s passing . Please know that you guys are in my thoughts and prayers always. If ever you need anything, a laugh or a cry .know you can always call us. Kathi and Curt.
Dan was one of the best. I got to know him when he was helping with a remodel at my parents’ house nearly 20 years ago. If it had snowed through the night he’d make sure my car was cleaned off and warmed up before I had to go to school in the morning. That’s how I will remember Dan… so kind and always ready to lend a helping hand.
From then on, I always loved running into him around town. I’d hear all about Steph’s softball team and what he & Deb were up to. Dan was truly a great guy, and I will miss his friendly smile and positive energy in the community.
I have been praying for your family since hearing Dan was in the hospital. I will continue to pray for God’s comfort in this difficult time. I worked with Dan at Emerson. He was a hard worker, but also was fun to be around. I loved his stories. Dan would get so excited whenever Steph came home. He will be greatly missed!!
Like the others, I am sending my heartfelt sympathy to Deb and Stephanie. I always enjoyed seeing all of you at the dental office. Dan was always so nice and we always had such a nice conversation . He was so proud of his family!
Sorry to hear about Dan. He will be missed. Condolences to the family.
There were seven Spanish Angels
At the Altar of the Sun
They were prayin’ for the lovers
In the Valley of the Gun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And seven Spanish Angels
Took another angel home
So sorry to hear of his passing! I only met him once but he impressed me! A funny guy! Prayers for his family! And extras for Steph!
I did’nt know Dan very well , but when I would see him he always had that million dollar smile Always greeted me and in passing a kind word sorry for your loss John Betchwars
Mom and I were saddened to hear of Danny’s passing. He seemed rough around the edges, but was certainly none of that and one of the kindest souls we’ve known. Always attending all family reunions, gatherings and funerals if he could….wanting to talk to everybody. At one reunion he noticed oil leaking from my Blazer and even climbed underneath of it to get a better look then helped me get it to the Chevy dealer in River Falls. The last time I saw Danny was at a motorcycle show and was given the biggest bear hug EVER…even picked me up off of the floor! He will truly be missed by many I’m sure and blessings to his entire family. Happy Harleying in Heaven Danny! Love, Beverly and Tanya Maves
I’m so sorry for your loss, you have my deepest sympathy and prayers.

Dan was a very gentle sole, I hired him and work with him for years at Emerson in Chanhassen. He had the best work ethics, he loved life and it shined throughout every day. Dan never let a car show go by without telling me about it, we talked cars a lot.
He will be missed!
My Condolences to Deb and family. So glad I saw him the Hy-Vee parking lot this summer. And, as usual, a very enlightening conversation. Will always remember his laugh and smile. A very fine man.
