Daniel Pool
Daniel Wayne Pool, 51, Celina, died Jan. 3, 2014, at his residence.
He was born April 7, 1962, in Long Beach, Calif., to Gene Pool and Beverly Cantwil Pool Ahrens.
Survivors include three brothers, Gene (Vickie) Pool, Van Wert, Steve Pool, Fostoria, and Tim Ahrens, Celina, and aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

He spent the last 15 years employed by Cooper Farms in St. Henry and enjoyed motivating those around him. He was known for his sincere care, his shy smile, and his quest to understand the deeper meaning of the life he lived.
A memorial service will be 3 p.m. Saturday at First Friends Church, Van Wert, the Rev. Paul Hamrick officiating.
