Daniel A. Wubben was born June 26, 1936, in Fordyce, Nebraska, to Raymond and Alma (Arens) Wubben. He grew up on the farm and attended school in Fordyce and graduated from Cedar Catholic High School in Hartington, Nebraska. He was an avid farmer, getting his start alongside his dad. He married Dianne Lute on April 19, 1966, in Fordyce and together had a life filled with adventures both on and off the farm. Dan and Dianne did everything together, whether it was farming, carpentry, crafting or riding their bicycles on any good trail they could find.

After retiring from farming they moved to Yankton, South Dakota and Dan took over the cooking and baking for the house. He was a hardworking, quiet man who had a great sense of humor and loved to joke with people. He was always busy doing something. He enjoyed puzzles, camping and woodworking in his shop.
