Dan was born on December 12, 1950 in Holdrege, NE to John F. and Flora J. (Saathoff) Adam. He grew up in the Macon area and attended school in Macon until the eighth grade. He later graduated from Franklin High School with the class of 1969.

He was united in marriage to Patricia J. Wortman on August 18, 1972 in Macon and to this union three sons were born: John, Rick, and Bob. The family made their home in Hildreth where Dan was employed for many years with the Franklin County Roads Department as "the best Maintainer operator the county ever had".

Dan was a member of the Zion Lutheran Church in Macon, where he served on the church council. He was also an active member of the Hildreth Volunteer Fire Department – where he served as a Firefighter/EMT, Macon Lions Club, Hildreth Village Board, and the Hildreth A.A. group.

Dan loved life and had an even deeper love for sports, especially his Huskers! He loved harvest time and took a great amount of pride in any job or task he took on. Dan enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening and most of all, spending time with his family.

Those left to cherish his memory include his wife, Patricia Adam of Hildreth; sons, John (Holly) Adam of Hebron, Rick Adam of LaVista, and Bob Adam of Hildreth; seven grandchildren; brothers, Lenard (Shannon) Adam of Hildreth, and Darrel (Ruby) Adam of Harvard; sister, Eunice Beinhoff of Hastings; as well as a host of nieces, nephews, extended relatives and many friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; Father and Mother-in-law, John and Luella Wortman; brothers-in-law, John Wortman, LaVon Bienhoff, and Lamoine Hemje.
