Daniel Joseph Branstutter

Daniel "Little" Branstutter, age 24, of Oregon, passed away following a tragic accident while riding his motorcycle on Sunday, December 6, 2020. He was born on January 11, 1996 to David Branstutter and Amy Rios. Daniel was very proud to be an apprentice for Northwest Ohio Carpenters J.A.T.C.  He was a man devoted to his children. Everything he did was for his girls. They were his everything and he loved them and his whole family deeply. He was a strong-willed man and if he had set his mind to do something, he would get it done. He had overcome so many hardships and never gave up, despite how difficult life was at times.

He was a social butterfly. He befriended anyone who spoke with him. He had a presence about him that drew him to you, and made you want to talk to him more, and just be around him. Whether you were old, young or somewhere in between, his demeanor and presence drew you in.

Daniel was a thrill seeker. He loved the rush of adrenaline that riding his motorcycle or four-wheeler gave him. He lived life on the edge and thought he could do anything. He lived in the moment and loved spending time fishing, and cherished every moment he had with his girls and the many friends he’s made along the way.

Daniel is survived by his parents Amy (Richard) Ulch; children Elizah, Elana, and Elayah Branstutter; siblings Madison Rios-Branstutter and Jacob Ulch; grandparents Deanna Hansen, Cyndi (Ronnie) Pace, Sue (Lee) Rios and Rick Rios and Jeff (Sandy) Knaggs; and special friend Emily Arman. He is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. He is preceded in death by his father David Branstutter.
