Danny (Dan) Shroyer was born May 7, 1946, at Chamberlain, SD, to Clifford Shroyer and Viola (Baker) Shroyer.
He attended school at Chamberlain, SD, and during high school was active in basketball, football and rodeo. Rodeo was his passion and in 1963, he won the South Dakota High School Bareback Championship. When riding the broncos didn’t happen any more, he switched to watching rodeos and Professional Bull Riders events any chance he could.
Dan’s career in education began in 1967. Through his tenure, he was a teacher, principal, superintendent and education specialist line officer for the Bureau of Indian Education. He retired in 2008 but that was short lived,
he loved his work and became an education consultant.
Dan and Mary Parish were united in marriage on Jan. 20, 1966.
Together they enjoyed rodeos, their children’s and grandchildren’s sporting events, visiting their parents, gardening, playing cards and most of all, each other’s company.
In January, they celebrated 54 years of marriage.
