Daniel "Dan" Di Pietro

Passed away suddenly on Sunday, January 4, 2026, aged 63 years. Loving brother of Edward Di Pietro, Joseph (Kathleen) Di Pietro, Catherine Di Pietro, Susan (William) Hessel, Charles Di Pietro, Dorice (Todd) Unertl, and Christine (Dave) Mickelson. Dear uncle of Antonio, Connie, Edward, Angela, Christine, Brad, Melissa, Andrew, Rebecca, Marcus, Lila, Julianna, and Garrett. Further survived by other family and friends. He is preceded in death by his parents Evaldo and Armida Di Pietro, sister Mary Ann Sweers, and nephew Chad Schlaikowski.

Dan graduated from Bay View High School and went on to Milwaukee Area Technical College to earn a degree in Plastic Molding Injection. From there, he started his business, Star Bright Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning in 1987. Daniel started his business with one van and a portable carpet cleaning machine and grew to seven mounted cleaning vans and a respectable staff. For several years, Dan coached football with the Bay View Red Cats Youth League, followed by coaching a Youth League in Greenfield. He was an avid gardener, with his backyard garden being his pride and joy. He shared his harvest with the neighborhood and anyone that would say, "I'll take that Zucchini." Dan loved deer hunting in the Fall and ice fishing in the Winter. He loved riding on his motorcycle (weather permitting) and taking out his snowmobiles. Dan loved his family and friends unconditionally. He loved to give whatever to whomever was in need. He truly had the biggest heart.

There will be a Memorial Visitation at the Funeral Home on Thursday, January 15, 2026 from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. A Memorial Service will follow starting at 6:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made directly to the DiPietro Family for final expenses.
