Daniel "Danny" J. Delebreau, 60, Howard, passed away unexpectedly at home on Tuesday, February 19, 2019.  Daniel was born May 31, 1958 in Green Bay, WI to Joseph J. Sr. and Ernestine (Thiry) Delebreau.  He graduated from Bay Port High School in 1977 and after graduation worked in the construction field until he retired.  Danny had a very big heart and soul, and would help anyone.  His hobbies included the love of woodworking, making bird houses and fishing.  He had a knack for fixing just about anything.  If he couldn't fix it, he was honest and would tell you.  He loved the Green Bay Packers, watching football, old cowboy movies and old sitcoms.  He loved to hang out with his buddies in his man cave.  Most of all he loved his family.

He is survived by his pride and joy, his daughter Jennifer Ann Van Ark (Groh), her husband John Van Ark and his two beautiful grandchildren Jonathan and Jorja; his mother Ernestine Delebreau; Sisters and Brothers:  Judith Keyes, Peter (Sandy), Kathleen (Robert) Schultz, Susan (Robert) Cropsey, Linda (Michael) Pagel, Cheryl (John) Athey, Debra (Steve Childers) Walker, Steve (Julie), Keith, Christine, Kenny, Mary (Scott Erickson) Fletcher, Rob (Jennifer), and numerous nieces and nephews, their spouses, great nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Smith Jr., Gary Keyes; grandparents Ernest and Lena (LaCrosse) Thiry and Theophile and Katherine (Sternard) and Veronica (Kuss) Delebreau; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
