Dan Parisey, 43 of La Crosse passed away December 20, 2024 surrounded by family and friends. Dan
was a dedicated father who loved his family, his dogs and the Milwaukee Brewers. Dan never hesitated
to talk about how proud he was of his son Evan. He shared an incredible bond with his brother Chris
and they loved nothing more than making each other laugh. Sitting down with family for long
conversations and impromptu sing-alongs brought them all so much joy. Dan worked hard to carry on
the legacy of The Popcorn Tavern knowing the life-long connections that were made there for countless
people over the years. He always appreciated the loving support in both life and with the business
provided by his parents Dave and Karen. Dan's inner peace was found in the outdoors, while cruising
the river and at the family cabin up North. He was someone who was able to make individual
connections and have inside jokes and memorable moments with so many people. Dan's unfailingly
genuine honest spirit, generosity, loyalty and singular sense of humor will be missed by the many who
had the privilege of calling him friend.
Dan was proceeded in death by his grandparents, his cherished aunt Kathy and his beloved dog
Annabelle. He is survived by his son Evan, his wife Katie, his parents Dave and Karen Parisey, his brother
Chris (Jade) Parisey, his sister Cindy (Bob) Riedel, loving nieces and nephews and a large extended family
including dedicated friends he considered family.
The family would like to thank the staff at Gundersen Lutheran Hospital who provided such
compassionate care for Dan and unwavering support for his loved ones during this difficult time.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In the meantime, the family would like to formally
apologize to Dan for not being able to honor his final wish of:
"Just throw me in the trash"
