Daniel Thomas “Dan” Varga, 79, of White Township, passed away on April 30th, 2026, at Heritage Valley Beaver. He was born on March 15th, 1947, a son of the late Joseph and Martha Varga. He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Pamela Varga, his siblings, Lawerence (Susan) Varga, Charles (Jill) Varga and Betsy (Bruce) Svensson, a nephew, Doug Varga, several nieces and nephews and numerous friends.

Daniel graduated from New Brighton High School and attended Parsons College. He joined the navy and served on the John F. Kennedy aircraft carrier. He returned back to Patterson Heights and Beaver Falls and worked at Babcock & Wilcox and later at VEKA in Fombell. He enjoyed fishing, canoeing and walking through the woods with his wife and dog. Upon retiring, he and Pamela treated themselves to a cruise to Alaska. They enjoyed it so much that they returned twice. He loved to barbecue on his Big Green Egg unit. Rain or snow, you could find him on the back porch grilling burgers, corn on the cob and lots of other meats and veggies. He was especially proud of the prime rib he grilled for holidays. It was always perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. He loved listening to jazz and blues, and there was always music playing in the house. His white Nisson Z convertible sports car was his pride and joy, although he never drove it farther than the driveway. The car was in perfect condition because, “it was never touched by rain or snow.” He had a sparkle in his eyes and a grin on his face. He had a wicked sense of humor and loved to make people laugh.
