Daniel Wantz, 73, of Taneytown, Maryland, passed away peacefully into the presence of his Lord and Savior on November 7, 2026. Born May 18, 1953, in Frederick, Maryland to the late Joseph Filmore and Mary Grace (Shaffer) Wantz. He was the loving and devoted husband of Cynthia Lee (Cornett) Wantz for 47 years.

Above all, Dan was a servant to the many who entered his life. His selflessness was clear in every aspect by the deeds he performed for anyone in need.
