Daniel T. Werstein

Born in Monroe, Daniel was the son of James and Opal (Masson) Werstein. A 1974 graduate of Milan High School, he married the love of his life, Karen Yourkiewicz, on June 17, 1978 in Adrian, Michigan. Daniel worked at Ford Motor Company in Ypsilanti for over 30 years, retiring in 2006. A self taught mechanic, he also owned and operated D & D Small Engine Repair for over 40 years, where he also sold Scag Lawn Mowers. Daniel enjoyed John Wayne movies, traveling to Arizona and was an avid fan of NHRA Drag Racing and driver John Force. But his most treasured times were those spent with his family. Daniel leaves to cherish his memory, Karen, his wife of the past 41 years; his son and daughter-in-law Matthew (Jennifer) Werstein; grandchildren: Andrew Werstein and Emily Werstein; his father James Werstein; siblings: Mike Werstein, Ann Werstein, Jan (Ricky) Kiger, Steve (Dawn) Werstein and David (Kirra) Werstein; as well as his sister-in-law and brother-in-law Mary (David) Scherle. Sadly he was preceded in death by his mother Opal Werstein; his father-in-law and mother-in-law Clem and Ina Yourkiewicz; grandparents: William and Dorothy Masson and Anthony and Margaret Werstein; a sister-in-law Carolyn Waddell and brother-in-law Ken Waddell. Memorial contributions in honor of Daniel may be made to Sacred Heart Catholic School in Hudson, Michigan.
