Edward D. “Dan” Markiewicz, 72, of Derry, died Monday April 20, 2020 at his home surrounded by his family.
He was born December 2, 1947 in Latrobe, the son of the late Edward and Anne (Sweeney) Markiewicz.
Prior to retirement, he worked for the Department of Correction where he made special lifelong friendships that he cherished. He owned and operated a tax preparation business that served the community for over 30 years, and he was thankful for every one of his customers.

He was a member of the VFW, American Legion and NRA. He deeply loved his family and friends, traveling in his Motor home with his wife, riding his Indian motorcycle, and was an avid gun enthusiast. He was loved by all and will be missed tremendously…
