Daniel A. Vetter, age 20, passed away unexpectedly on September 3, 2023, at North Memorial Hospital in Robbinsdale, MN. He left peacefully surrounded by family and beloved girlfriend. Daniel graduated from Cleveland High School MN in 2021 and received his Certificate in Welding with highest honors from South Central College in North Mankato, MN in December 2022.
Daniel was a lover of nature and full of adventure. He would climb to the highest points or take challenging hikes in Zion, Arches, Mt. Rainier, Glacier, Yosemite and so many more. He liked to push himself to the next level no matter what he was doing. Daniel was passionate about weightlifting and fitness and was always willing to share his knowledge when asked. He was smart, quick-witted, and loved making people, or a whole classroom, laugh. He also had a sensitive and kind heart, sticking up for a person being picked-on, or reaching out to someone that was hurting. Daniel had relentless determination and a heart of gold. We miss you so much.
