Daniel A. Maring

Dan was a hardworking farmer, then truck driver, and a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He was economical with his words, but quick witted and observant, and his powerful laugh was appreciated by friends and family. He was a man of quiet strength–a calm voice of reason and the steady center of his family. He was kind and always willing to lend a hand, pushing a broken down car, putting in hay, or playing with the kids at a family reunion. Dan was an avid fan of the New York Yankees and the Buffalo Bills, and could often be found listening to a game from underneath a jacked up car.

Dan is survived by his wife, Josephine Maring; two sons and a daughter, Joshua Maring (Charlene) of Brookville, PA; Clayton Maring (Doralba) of San Salvador, El Salvador; Jamie Maring Hedman (Benjamin) of Charlottesville, VA; six grandchildren, Joshua Maring (Sabrina), Danielle Maring Baksa (Jeremiah), Jack Hedman, Jude Hedman (Eleanor), Maria Cuesta, Yandel Maring; a sister, Louise Soeder of Chautauqua, NY and a brother, Randy Maring of Bear Lake, PA; as well as a growing number of great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Loved ones will gather for visitation at 1 pm, Friday, Nov. 21, 2025, at Hill and Wood Greene Chapel in Ruckersville, VA with a service following at 2 pm. Daniel will be laid to rest at Chestnut Grove Cemetery in Earlysville, VA.
