Obituary

Daniel “Dan” Marvin Canada was welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven April 30, 2026. He was preceded in death by his parents Anne and Marvin Canada; sisters Jean Snider, Marilyn Denman and Nancy Morehart; grandsons Shaun Canada and Trent Shell and daughter-in-law Tess Canada Dan is survived by wife of 64 years, Rosemary; daughter Teri (Gene) Shell; son Chris Canada; grandchildren Shannon (Aaron) Martin, Jordan (Sarah) Canada and Taylor Canada and great-grandchildren Adelynn, Stella and Elliott Martin. Dan retired from the Columbus Police force in 1996 after 31 years of service. He then went on to work another 13 years as a clerk and bailiff for Franklin County Court of Common Pleas. Dan was a member of the Shamrock Club of Columbus; the Columbus Maennerchor Men’s Choir and a reader at St. Patrick’s Church. Dan was a social butterfly. No matter where he was, the local Kroger, the gas station, church, local restaurants he always ran into someone he knew. He was a great guy, a kind man who smiled thru the chaos of life. He always made a way for his family even when the requests were over the top. He was a peacemaker. Dan had a dry sense of humor. He loved to watch The Three Stooges and called the Roadrunner cartoons his “training films”. He had a love for classical music and enjoyed listening to the Three Tenors and pianists Byron Janis and Van Cliburn. Dan studied to become a deacon but life got in the way however his love for the Lord Jesus Christ never wavered. Dan will be forever missed but never forgotten.
