Daniel was born on August 2, 1959, in St. Joseph, to Harold & Delores (Weber) Rimpel. In 1978, he graduated from Michigan Lutheran High School. Following graduation, Daniel married the love of his life, Debbra Goodline, on September 22, 1979, at St. Paul’s Church in Stevensville. Professionally, Daniel worked as a diecast operator at various manufacturing plants in the area. In spring of 2021, he would retire from North Shore Manufacturing.
