Stanton, Daniel Brian of Park Ridge, Illinois (aged 56) passed away peacefully on October 2, 2024, surrounded by his family. For 21 years, Dan was the loving husband, partner, and best friend of Sheila (nee McCann). Above all, Dan was devoted to his family, and his legacy lives through his children Finbar (19), Seamus (17), Sinead (16), and Liam (14). Raised in a large and loving Irish-American family, Dan is preceded in death by his parents Harold (Retired Captain, CPD) and Mary Celeste, infant brother Michael T., and nephews Tommy Grady and Kevin Quinlan. He is survived and lovingly remembered by his siblings Sheila (Larry) Marshall, Eileen (Bob) Quinn, Colleen (Jerry Casey, MD) Quinlan, Teresa (Emmett, DDS) Grady, Patrick (Mary Ann), Peggy (Michael) Schmit, Celeste (Kevin) Alcock, Noreen (Chris) Janson, and his twin Michael (Lisa) as well as his 34 Stanton nieces and nephews. Dan was beloved by his parents-in-law, Michael and Sarah McCann, his brothers- and sisters-in-law Michael (Tricia), Kathleen, Sarah (Patrick) McGovern, Peter, and Kevin, and his eight McCann nieces and nephews. He is fondly remembered by his Stanton and Maloney cousins, Sheila's Hoey and McCann extended families, and his many friends from Sauganash, Queen of All Saints, Loyola Academy, Indiana University, Park Ridge, the Chicago Roofing Contractors Association, and beyond.

Dan held many titles in life, but the ones he was most proud of were husband and father. Dan's legacy is everlasting and guided by his strong faith, love of family and friends, and fondness for his Irish heritage.
