Daniel Dilton Pingel Jr. was born August 10, 1987 at St. Elizabeth Hospital, Appleton, the son of Daniel Sr. and Donna (Wollenberg) Pingel. He attended Clintonville Schools, played saxophone in the high school band, and graduated with the class of 2005. Daniel worked for Lamers Bus Garage and Fleet Farm both in Clintonville for about two years; he also attended Fox Valley Technical College earning his diesel certification. He was later employed by Wisconsin Tractor Parts, Black Creek, working in shipping and parts, as well as Sturm Foods, Manawa for a time. Dan ran a front-wheel, non-studded car with Mid-State Ice Racing out of Marion for a few seasons, and loved to tinker on anything with a motor. He also helped out driving tractor for Kratzke farms when he could. Daniel loved to hunt and fish for bullhead with his brothers.
